Because of the complicated conditions, great deformation, high stress, multi-variables, high non-linearity, the algorithm for structure optimization and its application in tunnel engineering has just been at the right beginning. However, how to make optimized design of structure for tunnel section, reduce excavation and increase support is a very urgent task now. Artificial intelligence shows e...

Background The purpose of this study is to evaluate the intraoperative tension change pattern of each anteromedial (AM) graft and posterolateral (PL) graft and to investigate the optimal femoral tunnel position in double bundle (DB) anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) by comparing postoperative outcomes with each combination of graft tension change pattern. Methods Eighty-four un...

The search for the stable monatomic forms of solid nitrogen is of great importance in view of its potential application as a high-energy-density material. Based on the results of evolutionary structure searches, we proposed two high-pressure polymeric structures to be stable beyond the stability field of the synthesized cubic gauche structure--the layered Pba2 or Iba2 (188-320 GPa) and the heli...

The combustion of fuels (gasoline, LPG, diesel oil and so on...) in vehicle engines produces a lot of substances and gases. Depending on their concentration, their chemical stability and their adverse effects on environment and human being, the most relevant compounds in the exhaust gas are SO , CO, NOx, H S and O . 2 2 3 Traffic is the source of pollution in a road tunnel, It has a harmful imp...

This study was designed to serially analyze the magnetic resonance (MR) appearance of patella tendon grafts during the first year of implantation, and to determine if the sagittal location of the tibial tunnel affects the MR appearance of the graft. An additional goal was to analyze the effect of the sagittal placement of the tibial tunnel placement on knee extension and stability. Two groups w...

Abstract Bener Dam Diversion Tunnel is located in two rock units such as andesite and breccia. Based on the engineering geology investigation, subsurface tunnel will penetrate breccia with good mass quality (fresh-moderately weathered), while surrounding consist of breccias moderate poor quality. Geological conditions are used basis for stability analysis excavation methods determining primary ...

Uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) is one of the most significant factors on the stability of underground excavation projects. Most of the time, this factor can be obtained by exploratory boreholes evaluation. Due to the large distance between exploratory boreholes in the majority of geotechnical projects, the application of geostatistical methods has increased as an estimator of rock mass pro...
