A systematic method is presented for evaluating the slope safety utilizing multi-source monitoring information. First, a Bayesian network with continuously distributed variables for a slope involving the factor of safety, multiple monitoring indexes and their influencing parameters (e.g. friction angle and cohesion) is constructed. Then the prior probabilities for the Bayesian network are quant...

The middle Sarvak formation (Cenomanian) is one of the stratigraphic units of the Bangestan group in the south of Iran. This formation is stratigraphically equivalent to the Ahmadi member of Kuwait and Iraq. There is geochemical evidence that indicates this unit has a high level of organic richness and can be a possible source rock in various locations. This study focuses on the organic geochem...

The Nayband Formation was measured and sampled in Parvadeh area, southern Tabas city. In this area, this formation has a thickness of 1410 m, dividing into four members, namely Gelkan, Bidestan, Howz-e-sheikh and Howz-e-khan. A total 573 samples were treated for Palynological analysis, and only 120 samples were productive. A total of 57 miospore taxa and 11 plant macrofossil were encountered. B...

This study investigated the effects of replacing dicalcium phosphate (DCP) with Hazara rock phosphate (HRP) on the growth performance of broiler chickens. The purpose was to determine the maximum level of F that could be well tolerated. The HRP (13.16% P and 2.98% F) was incorporated into a standard corn- and soybean meal-based diet by replacing 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100% of DCP based on P. Each t...

The serine/threonine kinases ROCK1 and ROCK2 are direct targets of activated rho GTPases, and aberrant rho/ROCK signaling has been implicated in a number of human diseases. We have developed novel methods for high-throughput assays of ROCK inhibitors that provide for quantitative evaluation of the ability of small molecules to inhibit the function of ROCK kinases in intact cells. Conditions for...

Rock physical model and amplitude variation with offset (AVO) patterns considering the content of organic matter composition minerals have a wider significance for guiding identification prediction mud-rich source rock. A rock is proposed describing elastic properties kerogen in different maturity stages. The builds an intrinsic connection between parameters rock, thereby providing theoretical ...
