Intrusion and extrusion of water in hydrophobic nanopores [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Heterogeneous systems composed of hydrophobic nanoporous materials and water are capable, depending on their characteristics, of efficiently dissipating (dampers) or storing ("molecular springs") energy.

In situ equilibrium pore-water pressures derived from partial piezoprobe dissipation tests in marine sediments [PDF]

open access: yesCanadian Geotechnical Journal, 2013
Excess pore-water pressure has a significant effect on submarine slope stability and sediment deformation, and therefore its in situ equilibrium measurement is crucial in carrying out accurate slope stability assessments and accurately deriving geotechnical design parameters.

Vapor nucleation paths in lyophobic nanopores [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
.: In recent years, technologies revolving around the use of lyophobic nanopores gained considerable attention in both fundamental and applied research. Owing to the enormous internal surface area, heterogeneous lyophobic systems (HLS), constituted by a ...

Stochastic Investigation of Consolidation Process in Spatially Correlated Heterogeneous Soils

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2017
Soil consolidation as the dissipation of excess pore water pressure is mainly affected by the relative hydraulic conductivity among the layers. Geostatistical parameters such as the mean, the standard deviation, and the correlation length are physical ...

Landslide motion assessment including rate effects and thermal interactions: revisiting the Canelles landslide [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The re-activation of a large (40 Mm3) landslide on the valley slopes of a reservoir motivated a research initiative to estimate the risk of a fast-sliding mass moving into the reservoir.

Least-Squares evaluation of DMT dissipation test data – some preliminary results [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences
The Flex method does not work if the DMTA total stress dissipation curve is non-monotonic or has no inflexion point. To overcome the problems, various versions of a mathematically precise DMTA total stress dissipation test evaluation method are suggested

Lipid ion channels and the role of proteins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Synthetic lipid membranes in the absence of proteins can display quantized conduction events for ions that are virtually indistinguishable from those of protein channel. By indistinguishable we mean that one cannot decide based on the current trace alone

Field Test and Numerical Studies on Influences of PVD Spacing on Vacuum Treatment Effects of Dredged Slurry

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2021
A field test was conducted on vacuum treatment effects of a dredged slurry ground considering three PVD spacing, i.e., 700, 800, and 900 mm. The settlement and the pore water pressure dissipation were measured during the treatment period.
