Complex Networks on a Rock Joint
, 2009 A complex network approach on a rough fracture is developed. In this manner, some hidden metric spaces (similarity measurements) between apertures profiles are set up and a general evolutionary network in two directions (in parallel and perpendicular to the shear direction) is constructed.

Assessing Household Welfare in Response to Rising Food Prices in The Gambia
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines how rising food prices affected household welfare in The Gambia using nationally representative data from the 2015/16 Integrated Household Survey (IHS‐3). The analysis reflects household consumption behavior and market conditions prevailing during that period and provides a structural benchmark for understanding ...

Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Africa's cultural and colonial heritage has profoundly segmented rice markets. Whereas in ancient centers of rice domestication, consumers maintained preferences for local rice consistent with their cultural heritage, preferences have shifted toward imported Asian rice in coastal areas around seaports, due to prior exposure to colonial import ...

Pylorus‐Preserving Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer: Current Evidence and Future Directions
Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.This review aims to outline the current evidence and future directions of PPG, focusing on the feasibility of extending its application beyond its traditional indications. ABSTRACT Pylorus‐preserving gastrectomy (PPG) is a function‐preserving surgery for clinically T1N0M0 (cT1N0M0) early gastric cancer (EGC) located in the middle third of the stomach ...

Determining Rock Joint Peak Shear Strength Based on GA-BP Neural Network Method
Applied SciencesThe peak shear strength of a rock joint is an important indicator in rock engineering, such as mining and sloping. Therefore, direct shear tests were conducted using an RDS-200 rock direct shear apparatus, and the related data such as normal stress ...
