Affected by climatic conditions such as rainfall, evaporation and air temperature, most of the backfill soil is in an unsaturated state, decrease matric suction leads to failure retaining structure. In view this, this study takes vertical rigid wall with narrow research object, assuming that behind forms a circular arch considering interlayer shear stress; thus, analytical solution active earth...

Self-management is a multi-modal approach for managing chronic conditions that encompasses number of different elements; knowledge, adherence, self-regulation, communication, and cognitive factors. has been shown to be beneficial adults with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), children IBD it may help them learn take control their complex treatment regimens lead positive outcomes. The development...

The collected field data from well-instrumented reinforced embankments in the framework of a real project for extension inner-city area at HafenCity Hamburg is used to study effect environmental changes on load transfer process over structure lifetime. A particular focus put improve understanding mechanism soil embankment pile foundations through geosynthetic layer and investigate corresponding...

This article describes a strategic concept for the Lithuanian bioeconomy that was developed as deliverable of Task 1.5 in BIOEAST’sUP H2020 project. We aimed to create conceptual basis preparation national strategy and/or action plan order initiate deeper discussion about strategically oriented development knowledge-based circular Lithuania. Our insights are focused on two niche energy s...

Considering the limitations of terrain and engineering expenses, antislide piles are sometimes arranged in polylines. Studies show that this arrangement adversely affects mechanical characteristics piles. However, there is no in-deep understanding issue structural design calculation method have not been discussed relevant standards. Aiming at resolving shortcoming, polylines pile studied articl...

The application of models to predict concentrations of faecal indicator organisms (FIOs) in environmental systems plays an important role for guiding decision-making associated with the management of microbial water quality. In recent years there has been an increasing demand by policy-makers for models to help inform FIO dynamics in order to prioritise efforts for environmental and human-healt...

Human cognitive systems such as language represent the sensory world as unitary. For example, the “speech signal” is perceived as a single auditory stimulus, and different visual features and textures in the visual field are perceived holistically as unitary objects. Yet sensory neuroscience demonstrates the diversity of encoding in the neural systems supporting sensory perception. Different as...
