The series solution of wave functions for 2D scattering and diffraction of plane SH (shear
horizontal) waves induced by a U‐shaped canyon is proposed herein to account for the …

Background The neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been proposed as an indicator of
systemic inflammatory response and may predict the clinical outcome in some cancers, such …

A three-dimensional (3D) kinematically admissible rotational failure mechanism is extended
from toe failure to include face failure and base failure for homogeneous slopes in both …

Topographies have significant effects on seismic waves. The wavefunction expansion method
has been frequently employed to study the topographic effect because this method can …

Minimizing the energy consumption and expanding the usage of renewable material in the
recovery of spent lithium ion batteries (LIBs) are significant for exploring more sustainable …

An analytical treatment of the seismic response of a cylindrical canyon with a radially piecewise
inhomogeneous arbitrary multilayered profile to a finite depth on a homogeneous half-…

The objective of this paper is to investigate the bearing capacity of spatially varying soil in
the presence of non-stationary feature of undrained shear strength. Firstly, undrained shear …

Most slope collapses have three-dimensional (3D) characteristics due to the uniform soil. The
traditional plane-strain analyses neglect the 3D effects and could yield an overestimation …

This paper reviews the challenge on Sparse Neural Rendering that was part of the
Advances in Image Manipulation (AIM) workshop, held in conjunction with ECCV 2024. This …

The freezing method is an effective method for shaft construction in water-rich strata. To
determine the mechanical properties of frozen walls that contain ice, study the fracture and …
