We show cyclic sieving phenomena on annular noncrossing permutations with given cycle types. We define annular q-Kreweras numbers, annular q-Narayana numbers, and annular q-Catalan numbers, and show that a sum of annular q-Kreweras numbers becomes an annular q-Narayana number and a sum of annular q-Narayana numbers becomes an annular q-Catalan number. We also show that these polynomials are clo...

In this study, the vibration behavior of functional graded (FG) circular and annular nanoplate embedded in a Visco-Pasternak foundation and coupled with temperature change is studied. The effect of in-plane pre-load and temperature change are investigated on the vibration frequencies of FG circular and annular nanoplate. To obtain the vibration frequencies of the FG circular and annular nanopla...

The paper presents the use of tablet pc in archaeology, it explains what is a tablet PC and the steps to draw archaeological remains using a digital photomosaic. It’s described the test made during the experience in the roman town Grumentum in South Italy (2006). The use of a tablet pc in archaeological excavation is a powerful tool for digital documentation. This work explains a method to take...

Open caisson shafts are a widely adopted solution for range of geotechnical applications. An external ‘cutting shoe’ is common construction feature used to reduce the soil frictional resistance acting on during sinking. This forms an annular void encircling which filled with support fluid maintain excavation stability. The primary aim this paper explore influence cutting shoe geometry resulting...

Barite is an important additive material to increase the weight of excavation mud. It has been used extensively in the excavation mud industry. The barite particle sizes used in excavation mud is very important. There is a direct relationship between the amount on the sift of 200 and 325 mesh. By reducing particle sizes of the 200 and 325 mesh, the specific gravity of the barite power increased...

In this article, an exact levy solution is presented for bending analysis of a functionally graded (FG) annular sector plate. The governing equilibrium equations are obtained based on the classical plate theory. Introducing an analytical method for the first time, the three coupled governing equilibrium equations are replaced by an independent equation in term of transverse deflection. This equ...

INtrODUctION The science of Archaeology has been in existence for a long time and the way an archaeological excavation is conducted hasn't changed much. However, the way archaeological data is recorded has changed dramatically by the progress of technology and the widespread use of computers. Nowadays, almost any archaeological excavation uses databases to record not only the objects which have...

BACKGROUND Whilst being the most prevalent disease worldwide, dental caries is increasingly concentrated in high-risk populations. New caries treatments should therefore be evaluated not only in terms of their cost-effectiveness in individuals, but also their effects on the distribution of costs and benefits across different populations. To treat deep caries, there are currently three strategie...

With the aim of probing for design theory of cutterhead excavation system of earth pressure balance (EPB) machine, the parameters representing the system performance are concluded firstly. Then a 3D model for cutterhead excavation system of EPB machine is presented with the discrete element method (DEM) software PFC, which is capable of simulating the tunneling ground in site, the machine struc...

Abstract—Excavation and retaining walls are of challenging issues in civil engineering. In this study, the behavior of one important type of supporting systems called Contiguous Bored Pile (CBP) retaining wall is investigated using a physical model. Besides, a comparison is made between two modes of free end piles (soft bed) and fixed end piles (stiff bed). Also a back calculation of effective ...
