Finite Element Analysis for Bearing Capacity of Rectangular Footing Resting Near Sloped Cohesive soil

open access: yesTikrit Journal of Engineering Sciences, 2013
Finite element method is used to investigate the ultimate bearing capacity of rectangular footing resting on cohesive soil near slope. The effect of footing aspect ratio (L/B), distance ratio (b/B), and slope angle (β) on the bearing capacity are ...

The Geography of Success: A Spatial Analysis of Export Intensity in the Italian Wine Industry

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the paradox of how Italy's fragmented, SME‐dominated wine industry achieves global export success. Moving beyond purely firm‐centric explanations, we test whether export intensity is spatially dependent, clustering geographically in regional ecosystems.

Protection Motivation Theory and Farmers' Participation in Futures Markets: Evidence From Germany

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines why German farmers show limited adoption of commodity futures contracts despite substantial price volatility, applying Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) to understand the cognitive processes driving participation decisions in futures markets. Survey data from 303 German farmers collected in 2024 were analyzed using Partial

A Borane Sandwich Analogue of Ferrocene

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The first ferrocene analogue with two boron‐based ligands is identified through a global exploration of the FeB10H20 potential energy surface. The η5,η5‐Fe(B5H10)2 complex emerges as the global minimum, showing that metal coordination inverts borane stability and enables aromatic boron rings inaccessible in isolation.

Effect of Overconsolidation on Dilatancy of a Cohesive Soil

open access: yesSoils and Foundations, 1982
ABSTRACT In this paper, the characteristics of dilatancy, i. e., the volumetric change which occurs when subjected to shear stress under the condition that the effective mean normal stress p is held constant, are examined performing p-constant stress-controlled drained triaxial compression tests on a clayey soil with various OCRs.

Talk to Your Data: An Agentic Artificial Intelligence‐Driven Decision‐Support Framework for Prosumer Energy Optimization and Recommendations

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
An agentic AI‐driven decision‐support framework for prosumers is proposed, integrating PV generation, load profiling, and multihorizon optimization within a four‐agent architecture. The approach significantly reduces grid dependence, enhances self‐sufficiency and prevents system oversizing.
