The social complexion of Toronto’s urban landscape has been irreversibly altered since the 1960s as new waves of migrants from Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, and Central and South America have replaced traditional white European migrant flows. We examine the very different residential settlement patterns of Toronto’s three largest racial minorities – Blacks, Chinese and South Asians. Unlike previ...

Vehicle load is a dynamic and embankment static load. These two types can act simultaneously to accelerate the consolidation rate of ground under embankment, which then leads differential settlement. This settlement dangerous as it cause sudden bouncing shock for vehicles on road. There are also other problems such reduction in exploitation capacity construction work due speed going through pos...

Abstract This article reviews the numerical approach in stone column practices and presents benefits of columns as a ground improvement soft soil to support an embankment dam. In this article, methodological approaches numerically modeling both 2D 3D studies, well selection appropriate constitutive model are discussed. The for installation validation procedures used ensure accuracy analysis als...

Most cases settle, in employment discrimination litigation as elsewhere. Unfortunately, empirical knowledge of settlements remains limited. Data scarcity fuels untested perceptions and, all too frequently, misperceptions about how employment disputes are resolved. This Essay exploits a unique data set of successful settlements in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois fro...

In this study, a 3D numerical modelling of a single vertical drains consolidation incorporating vacuum preloading considering both vertical and horizontal drainage is presented. The effects of nonlinear soil compressibility, varying permeability and vacuum pressure distribution along the drain are examined through the dissipation of average excess pore pressure and associated settlement. A sele...

A new memory is initially labile and becomes stabilized through a process of consolidation, which depends on gene expression. Stable memories, however, can again become labile if reactivated by recall and require another phase of protein synthesis in order to be maintained. This process is known as reconsolidation. The functional significance of the labile phase of reconsolidation is unknown; o...

Following the introduction of democratic institutions in the countries of central and eastern Europe, the question of the consolidation of these newly implemented democracies arises. One of the most important conditions for consolidation is support for democracy from the community of citizens in the respective countries. In the theoretical frame of reference of this analysis, it is postulated t...

Sleep supports memory consolidation. Based on studies in mammals, sleep-dependent consolidation has been conceptualized as 'active system consolidation'. During waking, information is encoded into an initial store (hippocampus). During subsequent sleep, some of the newly encoded memories are selected to be reactivated and redistributed toward networks serving as long-term store (e.g., neocortex...

The co-disposition of mine tailings and waste rock in storage facilities (TSFs) could contribute to increase the consolidation rate decrease long-term settlement tailings. Non-linear change properties during filling process interaction between inclusion (WRI) are critical mechanical analysis but can, however, be complicated simulate. question net volume gains or losses was also raised. In this ...
