Among all of the slope stability methods, use of stone columns and geosynthetic elements can be a good way for stabilizing. One of the efficient ways in order to reinforce earth slopes is Geogrid Encased Stone Column (GESC). This technique can dramatically increase bearing capacity and decrease settlement rate. The aim of this paper is experimentally to investigate a comparison between the beha...

UNLABELLED Neurotrauma, stroke, and neurodegenerative disease may result in widespread loss of neural cells as well as the complex interconnectivity necessary for proper central nervous system function, generally resulting in permanent functional deficits. Potential regenerative strategies involve the recruitment of endogenous neural stem cells and/or directed axonal regeneration through the us...

Managing ambiguous and asymmetric types of information is a very challenging task under the consideration classical data. Furthermore, Aczel-Alsina aggregation operators are new developments in fuzzy sets theory. However, when decision-makers need to use these structures rough structures, fail deal with such values, as lower upper approximation spaces. Thus, an encasement intuitionistic set has...

Abstract Background Retroperitoneal germ cell tumors (GCTs) are rare, commonly large tumors, often diagnosed in infancy. Complete surgical resection may pose a serious challenge as encasement of major vessels and organ displacement can lead to perioperative complications. This study aims illustrate the challenges excising retroperitoneal GCTs. Results Nine patients were included: six with terat...

Stone columns are being used to reduce soft soil settlement and increase load-carrying capacity. Since there is inadequate lateral support from the local native soil, undergoes excessive under vertical loading. This issue effectively resolved by suitably encasing stone column material geosynthetic with significant axial stiffness, which provides required additional confinement reported in liter...

In 2018–2019, establishment problems were encountered, after reseeding creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera) on a sand-based putting green ice encasement at the NIBIO Turfgrass Research Center, Norway. Seeds germinated, but seedlings attained purple color and died in large patches. Replacement of top 3 cm layer with new sand amended Sphagnum peat or garden compost did not solve problem. To ...
