Effect of Rock Joint on Boreability of TBM at Northern Section of Kerman Water Conveyance Tunnel [PDF]
Nowadays, Tunnel Boring Machines (TBM) are widely used around the world on account of their high rate of excavation, little impact on the surrounding rock and their high safety standards.

Role of Air in Granular Jet Formation [PDF]
A steel ball impacting on a bed of very loose, fine sand results in a surprisingly vigorous jet which shoots up from the surface of the sand [D. Lohse et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 93, 198003 (2004)].

Penetrance rate estimation in autosomal dominant conditions [PDF]
Accurate estimates of the penetrance rate of autosomal dominant conditions are important, among other issues, for optimizing recurrence risks in genetic counseling. The present work on penetrance rate estimation from pedigree data considers the following situations: 1) estimation of the penetrance rate K (brief review of the method); 2) construction of

Theoretical Lidar Point Density for Topographic Mapping in the Largest Scales [PDF]
When ordering LiDAR data, LiDAR point density per surface unit is important information with decisive influence on the price of the LiDAR survey. The paper first deals with the theoretical calculation of the minimum LiDAR point density, necessary for the

Projecting Insurance Penetration Rate in Nigeria: An ARIMA Approach
Insurance industries' market penetration level is revealed by the premiums paid as a proportion to overall economic output. Nigeria's insurance penetration rate is 0.33 per cent despite its population advantage of about 200 million people.

Penetration Rates of Formaldehyde [PDF]
Abstract Formaldehyde is one of the most rapidly penetrating fixatives used. Unfortunately, it is one of the slowest to fix tissue. This paradox was finally explained by Burnett in 1982. An fine description of the properties of formaldehyde may be found in John Kiernan's book.
