this research was performed to determine the efficiency effect of sedimentary environment of kerman city area on soil structure bycomparing natural and reconstituted consolidation curves. in this regard, four different criteria such as sensitivity strength, stresssensitivity, schmertman criteria and the result of the uniaxial compression test were used. the base of these criteria is to compare ...

compressibility characteristics of fine-grained soils are often the most important parameters for settlement evaluation of the founded layers. the compression index which is the slope of virgin curve is usually for determination of settlement potential of fine grained soils. in this research, the effects of different physical and index properties of soil samples were investigated on compression...

A treatment of internally constrained mixtures of elastic continua at a common temperature is de­ veloped. Internal constraints involving the defonnation gradient tensors and the common mixture temperature are represented by a constraint manifold, and an internally constrained mixture ofelastic continua is associated with each unique equivalence class ofunconstrained mixtures. The example of in...

Compression neuropathy includes a heterogeneous group of focal neuropathy syndromes related to peripheral nerve compression. Although acute or chronic compression-related injury may occur in essentially any peripheral nerve, certain anatomic considerations may predispose certain nerves to intrinsic or extrinsic compression-related injury. The clinical presentations of specific compression or en...

Constant pressure and temperature molecular dynamics techniques have been employed to investigate the changes in structure and volumes of two globular proteins, superoxide dismutase and lysozyme, under pressure. Compression (the relative changes in the proteins' volumes), computed with the Voronoi technique, is closely related with the so-called protein intrinsic compressibility, estimated by s...

Two theories of distance perception-ie, the angular expansion hypothesis (Durgin and Li, 2011 Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics 73 1856-1870) and the intrinsic bias hypothesis (Ooi et al, 2006 Perception 35 605-624)-are compared. Both theories attribute exocentric distance foreshortening to an exaggeration in perceived slant, but their fundamental geometrical assumptions are very different...

With the growing awareness of the fraud case for digital images, the researchers have developed some forensic techniques that based on the intrinsic statistical history or trace left by the jpeg compression to determine an image’s manipulation. Aiming at these forensic algorithms, special anti-forensic techniques was developed by removing footprints caused by jpeg compression. In this paper, th...
