It is shown, by electron microscope observation of the structures of heteroduplexes, that Mu-1 DNA inserted into the bacterial episomes Flac and F(8)[1] is collinear with, rather than a circulation permutation of, the DNA of the mature Mu-1 bacteriophage. Observation of the position of the inserted Mu defines a point within the gene that has been inactivated (the lacI gene for Flac and a transf...

FLAC is a program to calculate the small-angle neutron scattering intensity of highly packed polydisperse systems of neutral or charged hard spheres within the Percus-Yevick and the Mean Spherical Approximation closures, respectively. The polydisperse system is defined by a size distribution function and the macro-particles have hard sphere radii which may differ from the size of their scatteri...

Geosynthetics have proved to be suitable for reinforced soil retaining walls. Based on the increasing uses of geosynthetic reinforced soil systems in the regions, which bear frequent earthquakes, the study of dynamic behavior of structures seems necessary. Determining the reinforcement forces is; therefore, one of the most important and main points of discussions in designing retaining walls, b...


 In the process of metro station construction, partition wall is usually used to prevent displacement soil behind ensure construction platform. This research aims analyze response keep safety structure. The time-horizontal and cracks are measured during construction. finite element software FLAC 3D simulate wall, reasons cracking analyzed by simulation measurement data. stiffness self-sta...

The Tashan coal mine is selected as a case study to determine the deformation and damage mechanisms of lower roadway in close-range residual pillar area. Roof drilling peephole technology applied detect roof surrounding rock. A boundary invisibility equation derived for plastic zone circular hole based on theory butterfly non-uniform stress field which principal occurs at an arbitrary angle ver...

A Boundary Element Method (BEM) approach was developed for the analysis of pile groups. The proposed method includes: the non-linear behavior of the soil by a hyperbolic modulus reduction curve; the non-linear response of reinforced concrete pile sections, also taking into account the influence of tension stiffening; the influence of suction by increasing the stiffness of shallow portions of so...

In order to study the stability of tunnels under static-dynamic load, a new large-scale model test system was developed. The composed static loading unit, dynamic data acquisition unit and bench, which were specially designed overcome technical problems test, such as control, high-rate strain measurement easy operation. used 3600 × 2500 mm in size larger load disturbance area than tests. It can...
