Toppling failure is one of the most common modes of failure of rock slopes in layered rock strata. Flexural toppling is one of the well-known modes of the failure. This type of failure occurs due to bending stress. In this article, a brief yet comprehensive review of toppling failure is presented. Firstly, the conditions and general mechanism of the failure are described. Then, experimental, th...

Heat transfer across pressed joint is significantly governed by thermal contact conductance which in turn depends on thermophysical properties of materials contact, surface properties, pressure, working temperature and interstitials present at the interface. Application an effective technique to control ambient temperature. In study, joints cryogenic presence like silicon based conductive compo...

When formal literacy instruction begins, around the age of 5 or 6, children from families low in socioeconomic status (SES) tend to be less prepared than children from families of higher SES. The goal of our study is to explore one route through which SES may influence children's early literacy skills: informal conversations about letters. The study builds on previous studies (Robins and Treima...
