foundations behavior is affected by soil behavior which can vary from dilative to contractive depending on the stress level, particularly in dense frictional soils. the zero extension lines (zel) method has been generally developed to predict the foundations behavior. knowledge of soil behavior enables the zel method to predict the general and local shear failure modes. in this paper, a relativ...

We present a new answer set solver, called nomore++, along with its underlying theoretical foundations. A distinguishing feature is that it treats heads and bodies equitably as computational objects. Apart from its operational foundations, we show how it improves on previous work through its new lookahead and its computational strategy of maintaining unfounded-freeness. We underpin our claims b...

The increasing use of participatory research (PR) approaches to address pressing public health issues reflects PR's potential for bridging gaps between research and practice, addressing social and environmental justice and enabling people to gain control over determinants of their health.

This study examined the effects of prosodic boundary and prominence on English /sCV/ sequences. One important finding was that the domain-initial strengthening effect was not strictly confined to the first segment, but it could extend over the entire /sCV/ sequence, although it was further modulated by prominence. Another important finding was shortening of VOT for the voiceless stop in /sCV/ u...
