True triaxial tests on unsaturated soils with suction-controlled condition
Based on the new true triaxial apparatus of Xi’an University of Technology, the pedestal of the pressure chamber is installed with a high-air-entry-value ceramic disk and porous plate is placed on the top of the specimens.

This paper conducts a numerical simulation study on the construction of a deep‐buried tunnel in an anisotropic stratum area. A statistical analysis of the effects of two anti‐faulting design measures, namely, a conventional design and an articulated design, is carried out, and the results demonstrate the effectiveness of the anti‐faulting structures ...

Similar locomotor patterns across Quarter Horse disciplines inform lameness assessment
Abstract Background Lineage‐based selection is central to the Quarter Horse industry and is often justified by the assumption that morphology determines locomotor function. However, objective evidence linking static conformation to discipline‐specific locomotor behaviour under standardised conditions remains limited.

Abstract Background Attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms are associated with adverse health outcomes; this may be partially due to unhealthy lifestyle factors such as low physical activity (PA) and high sedentary behavior (SED). However, this association remains unclear.

Abstract Background Models trained on accelerometer data have been proposed for detecting prodromal Parkinson's disease (PD). However, uncertainties in diagnosis timing in the UK Biobank (UKBB) may affect generalizability to other cohorts. Objectives The aim of the study was to evaluate the performance of previously published models for prodromal PD ...

ABSTRACT Purpose To improve the accuracy of diffusion‐weighted powder average signals for diffusion encoding with arbitrary b‐tensors. Methods We identify an intrinsic dihedral (D2$$ {D}_2 $$) symmetry of diffusion signals for arbitrary diffusion encoding, which defines their natural signal space (a quotient of 3D rotations).

Fault Detection of Electric Motors via Symmetrized Dot Pattern‐Based Features
ABSTRACT This study proposes a novel symmetrized dot pattern (SDP) approach using designed SDP‐based features, extracted from transformed vibration signals, for fault detection. These features describe the compactness, inclination, and shape of the “snowflake” diagram distributions.

ABSTRACT The EAC‐1A lunar mare simulant, a silty sand, was selected by the European Astronaut Center (EAC) for use in the LUNA analogue facility's lunar simulation testbed. Its stress‐ and strain‐dependent shear modulus and damping ratio were determined via resonant column testing on specimens prepared either from ambient moisture material or oven ...
