Sandy Soils Stabilization Using Calcite Microbial Deposition [PDF]
Today, the need to implement construction projects in the vicinity of rivers and sea coasts is inevitable. On the other hand, the soils of these areas generally have problems such as low bearing capacity or prone to liquefaction.

Analytic approximation for eigenvalues of a class of $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetric Hamiltonians [PDF]
An analytical approximation for the eigenvalues of $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetric Hamiltonian $\mathsf{H} = -d^{2}/dx^{2} - (\mathrm{i}x)^{\epsilon+2}$, $\epsilon > -1$ is developed via simple basis sets of harmonic-oscillator wave functions with variable ...

Field and laboratory measurements of shear wave velocity in unsaturated soils [PDF]
Shear wave velocity measurements in soil are important for assigning site soil profiles to seismic site classes and for calculating other dynamic soil properties.

New Clues on the Calcium Underabundance in Early-Type Galaxies [PDF]
We use our new stellar population models, which include effects from variable element abundance ratios, to model the Ca4227 absorption line indices of early-type galaxies (Trager et al.), and to derive calcium element abundances.

An Approach for Description of Elastic Parameters of Cross-Anisotropic Saturated Soils [PDF]
The processes of deposition and consolidation in natural soils or compaction in fill materials will typically produce soils that are initially cross-anisotropic (also known as transversely isotropic or orthotropic) in terms of both small strain elastic ...

The epochs of early-type galaxy formation as a function of environment [PDF]
The aim of this paper is to set constraints of the epochs of early-type galaxy formation through the 'archaeology' of the stellar populations in local galaxies.

Correlation between shear wave velocity and effective confining pressure using cyclic triaxial testing apparatus [PDF]
The 2016 Kumamoto earthquakes struck Kumamoto and Ōita regions and caused several devastating liquefaction induced damages. The primary damage was due to the extreme ground shaking of the foreshock and main shock sequence.

Stiffness moduli in triaxial tests on a loess-sand mixture [PDF]
Stiffness is one of the most important characteristics of geomaterials, and at the same time one of the most difficult to evaluate. It can be described by means of various stress-strain moduli, whose values strongly depend on the strain range and on the ...

A return to observability near exceptional points in a schematic PT-symmetric model [PDF]
Many indefinite-metric (often called pseudo-Hermitian or PT-symmetric) quantum models H prove "physical" (i.e., Hermitian with respect to an innovated, ad hoc scalar product) inside a characteristic domain of parameters D.

Characteristics of elastic waves passing through a flowable fill at early age [PDF]
Elastic waves obtained from transducers are widely used to monitor the strength and integrity of cementitious materials. A pair of bender elements (BEs) and piezo disk elements (PDEs) embedded in a cuboid mould are applied to monitor elastic waves ...
