SYSTEM FAILURE PROBABILITY ANALYSIS OF COHESIVE SLOPE CONSIDERING THE SPATIAL VARIABILITY OF UNDRAINED SHEAR STRENGTH

System failure probability analysis of cohesive slope considering the spatial variability of undrained shear strength

A system failure probability analysis method of cohesive slope considering the spatial variability of undrained shear strength is proposed.In this method, the local averaging Nail trimmer parameter of the random field of undrained shear strength on slip surface is introduced as an equivalent parameter.The statistical characters of the equivalent pa

Attitude Formation Through Exploration

Little experimental research has investigated how attitudes are formed via direct personal experience within risky environments.This report summarizes the development of Treasure Island (TI), an attitude learning paradigm based on BeanFest.Two studies are reported: The first designed to compare the outcomes of TI with BeanFest ; the second to show

Development of a Genome-Scale Metabolic Model of Clostridium thermocellum and Its Applications for Integration of Multi-Omics Datasets and Computational Strain Design

Solving environmental and social challenges such as climate change requires a shift from our current non-renewable manufacturing model to a sustainable bioeconomy.To lower carbon emissions in the production of fuels and chemicals, plant biomass feedstocks can replace petroleum using microorganisms as biocatalysts.The anaerobic thermophile Clostridi
