Blasting effects of cross‐fault deep‐buried excavation on adjacent existing tunnel stability
Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.Based on the theoretical analysis of cylindrical wave propagation in a deep rock mass in the fault with a filling layer, the calculation method of peak particle velocity caused by wave propagation in the existing tunnel is established. The viscoelastic characteristics of a rock mass are examined in the analysis.

The Case of Fleeting Orders and Flickering Quotes
Journal of Futures Markets, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The literature controversially discusses the ambiguous motives and driving forces behind quickly cancelled limit orders (fleeting orders), which are characteristic of high‐frequency markets. In particular, manipulative and dysfunctional characteristics are feared. We analyze top‐of‐book fleeting orders—so‐called flickering quotes—and show with
