Decreasing slope angle and slope height increases the slope factor of safety and can change the shape of likely slope failure. The increase in the factor of safety is at different rates, which can depend on soil type and slope geometry. Understanding the

Imaging Quality and Fatigue Quantification of Ocular Optical System
Human eye is a special kind of optical system, and its imaging quality and fatigue level seem susceptible to the illumination. In this study we were sought to develop a novel method to quantify ocular fatigue more accurately, and to assess the influence ...

Probability Methods for Stability Design of Open Pit Rock Slopes: An Overview
The rock slope stability analysis can be performed using deterministic and probabilistic approaches. The deterministic analysis based on the safety concept factor uses fixed representative values for each input parameter involved without considering the ...

Reliability-Based Design of Driven Piles Considering Setup Effects
The total ultimate resistance (or bearing capacity) of driven piles considering setup effects is composed of initial ultimate resistance and setup resistance, and the setup effects of driven piles are mainly reflected by the setup resistance.

Safety procedures of coagulation factors [PDF]
Abstract  Two main types of safety procedures must be applied to biological products, including plasma derivatives: (i) preventive procedures and (ii) elimination procedures.Prevention includes epidemiological control of donor populations; checks on each donor’s health condition; analysis of each donation for the main pathogens using serological ...

Geotechnical design with apparent seismic safety factors well-bellow 1 [PDF]
The paper demonstrates that whereas often in seismic geotechnical design it is not realistically feasible to design with ample factor of safety against failure as is done in static design, an "engineering" apparent seismic factor of safety less than 1 ...
