Overview geotechnical model tests on dike safety at Deltares [PDF]
, 2012 Three on-going dike safety studies (on: macro stability, piping and flow slides) in the Netherlands make use of geotechnical physical models. A short outline of these projects is presented; the physical models chosen are described and discussed.

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations
Insect Science, EarlyView.This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

Thermo-Poro-Mechanical Properties of Clayey Gouge and Application to Rapid Fault Shearing [PDF]
, 2006 In this paper, the mechanism of fault pressurization in rapid slip events is analyzed on the basis of a complete characterization of the thermo-poro-mechanical behavior of a clayey gouge extracted at 760m depth in Aigion fault in the active seismic zone ...

Simulation of the Potential Liquification of Puger Sand Soil on a Small Scale in the Laboratory
Rekayasa SipilPuger is a nearshore area in the Jember district. On the Indonesian liquefaction zone atlas map, Puger is a high liquefaction zone. Liquefaction can occur when water-saturated soil loses its strength and behaves like a liquid due to seismic vibrations ...

Liquefaction in fluid‐saturated soils [PDF]
PAMM, 2013 AbstractLiquefaction phenomena can be observed if fluid‐saturated soils are subjected to transient loading conditions, as they arise, for instance, during earthquakes. The term “liquefaction” comprises more specific liquefaction phenomena, such as flow liquefaction, which is an instability phenomenon in loose soils, and cyclic mobility, which is ...

Pipe Water, Employment and Health: A Gendered Analysis in India
Review of Development Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper examines the impact of indoor piped drinking water (IPDW) on gender disparities in employment and health in India, using panel data from the India Human Development Survey (2005–2012). Employing a differences‐in‐differences (DID) model with heterogeneous treatment effects, the analysis reveals that IPDW access increases rural women ...
