International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Swelling of clay‐sulfate rocks is a concern in geotechnical engineering that can damage infrastructure. In the historic town of Staufen in southwest Germany, geothermal drilling into a swellable anhydrite‐bearing clay formation resulted in water inflow and subsequent swelling, triggering ground heave and damage to more than 250 houses.

Finding Most Reliable Path With Extended Shifted Lognormal Distribution
IEEE Access, 2018 Travel time uncertainty may cause late arrival and impose a high penalty on travelers. There is a growing interest in modeling travel time uncertainty to optimize the reliability of travel time at the path and network level. Real data analysis finds that

Coverage‐based rarefaction fails to quantify relative species richness
Oikos, EarlyView.Coverage‐based rarefaction (CBR) is a high‐profile tool for assessing biodiversity that provides relative species richness estimates by leveraging the Good‐Turing index u to interpolate. In contrast to alternatives such as the Shannon and Simpson indices, CBR's main appeal is providing values in units of species. CBR is tested against a series of other

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Evergreen broadleaved forests (EBLFs) represent an iconic vegetation type in subtropical montane East Asia, but they are experiencing intensifying anthropogenic pressure and increasing habitat fragmentation. Here, using a dominant and widespread tree species characteristic of East Asian EBLFs, we examine its phylogeographic history and evaluate what it

Directive Antenna Clutter Loss in Slant Paths
International Journal of Satellite Communications and Networking, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper investigates the development of a clutter loss model specifically for slant paths involving directive antennas. Conventionally, clutter loss is characterized by using isotropic antennas to facilitate standard link budget calculations via single antenna gain values.

Goodbye LogNormal Distribution
, 2022 AbstractThe R-scripts presented and developed in the prior chapters assumed an investment return generating process that is both static and LogNormal, via the basic function. Indeed, had this work been done in the 1970s, or perhaps the 1670s when national (versus natural) tontines were first launched, that might have been sufficient.

Integrating Image Segmentation and Deep Learning to Improve Radio Frequency Propagation Models
International Journal of Satellite Communications and Networking, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper proposes a multi‐sensor approach to improve radio frequency (RF) propagation models, which play a key role in the rapidly expanding field of connected vehicle technology. Focusing on the 1‐ to 20‐GHz frequency range, which is critical for both satellite‐to‐vehicle and base station‐to‐vehicle communications, our study introduces a ...

Rotation capacity of continuous reinforced concrete slab strips revisited
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Rotation capacity is a key characteristic of statically indeterminate reinforced concrete structures, as it (i) enables bending moment redistributions, whether intentionally introduced through optimized reinforcement layouts or arising from unforeseen self‐equilibrated stress states, and (ii) promotes large rotations at failure load, thereby ...
