Mechanisms of failure of jointed rock masses and the behaviour of steep slopes [PDF]
, 1998 The geomorphological behaviour of steep jointed rock slopes has been studied using distinct element method computer models. In order to model steep slopes effectively, methodologies need to be combined from the studies of environmental modellers ...

Cteno‐Bot: An Untethered Metachronally Swimming Robot With Magnetoactive Propulsors
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.We present Cteno‐bot, an untethered ctenophore‐inspired robot which swims using metachronally coordinated appendages. A single mechanism controls up to 216 magnetoactive propulsors via a dynamically varying magnetic field. We show that the swimming speed of the robot can be increased without a corresponding increase in power requirement, simply by ...

Accounting for animal health in efficiency analysis: An application to Swedish dairy farms
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Poor animal health is a central concern in modern livestock production. Despite the necessity to incorporate animal health in efficiency analysis, the theoretical and empirical developments are limited on this subject. This article appropriately characterizes the axiomatic properties of animal health within a production framework.

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Excessive water production in mature oil fields necessitates robust shut‐off treatments, yet conventional polymer gels often fail under high‐temperature and high‐salinity conditions. This study aims to enhance gel thermal stability and mechanical strength by incorporating selenium‐doped Ag/AgO–ZnO nanocomposites synthesized via a novel green ...
