A solution is developed for the build-up, steady and post-arrest dissipative pore fluid pressure fields that develop around a blunt penetrometer that self-embeds from freefall into the seabed. Arrest from freefall considers deceleration under undrained conditions in a purely cohesive soil, with constant shear strength with depth. The resulting decelerating velocity field is controlled by soil s...

The discovery of lung consolidation appearing in rapidly passing attacks in allergic diseases renders possible an important contribution to the group of ' unspecific lung changes,' and an explanation is thereby afforded of a number of pathological lung conditions, the symptoms of which could not be reconciled with those of previously known complaints. Although Loffler of Switzerland has the hon...

iran is one of the countries facing the most severe farmland fragmentation (ff) in rural areas and farmland consolidation (fc) is generally regarded as being a suitable instrument to solve this problem . a case study in the central area of iran was conducted to explore landholder's attitudes towards issues related to ff and fc. randomized stratified sampling frame was used to select 146 landhol...

objective: strong evidence indicate that activity of glucocorticoid receptors is necessary for emotional memory processess and these effects probably are mediated by hipppocampal opioid receptors. the aim of this study was to test whether there were any interaction between glucocorticoid and hippocampal opiate receptors on consolidtaion and retrieval of spatial memory. materials and methods: in...

Cloud computing provides a consumer pay-per-use computing model over the Internet using numerous data centers across the globe. Power consumption by the huge data centers in Cloud environment has attracted the attention of research community. Efficient usage of energy in Cloud can be addressed in many facets. Virtual Machine (VM) consolidation is one of the techniques to save or reduce energy i...

Railroad-highway grade crossings present unique safety and operational challenges on both the rail and highway side. Consolidation of these crossings can be a valuable tool to improve safety, but is often a source of disagreement among interested parties. In order to better evaluate crossings to determine their suitability to be consolidated, a spreadsheet-based tool was developed to rank all p...

due to medical and dietary properties of the plantago major l. seed, it is necessary to know engineering properties in order to design post harvest equipments. engineering properties of plantago major l. seed was determined only at the moisture content of 7.98% dry basis, because of it produces mucilaginous components when it is soaked in water. the average of length, width, surface area, spher...

Memory loss in retrograde amnesia has long been held to be larger for recent periods than for remote periods, a pattern usually referred to as the Ribot gradient. One explanation for this gradient is consolidation of long-term memories. Several computational models of such a process have shown how consolidation can explain characteristics of amnesia, but they have not elucidated how consolidati...

he 1990s were characterized by substantial financial sector consolidation across a large number of industrialized countries. This consolidation included within-industry and within-country consolidation as well as cross-industry (for example, banking and insurance) and cross-border consolidation. In addition to mergers and acquisitions, there was a substantial increase in joint ventures and stra...

The Finite Element (FE) integration of the coupled consolidation equations requires the solution of linear symmetric systems with an indefinite saddle point coefficient matrix. Because of ill-conditioning, the repeated solution in time of the FE equations may be a major computational issue requiring ad hoc preconditioning strategies to guarantee the efficient convergence of Krylov subspace meth...
