Stability of foundations near slopes is one of the important and complicated problems in geotechnical engineering, which has been investigated by various methods such as limit equilibrium, limit analysis, slip-line, finite element and discrete element. The complexity of this problem is resulted from the combination of two probable failures: foundation failure and overall slope failure. The curr...

the present article is an attempt to study theoretical aspects of justice in the precept of the holy prophet of islam, by focusing on practical and objective results. in the first place, the necessity and significance of political justice has been explained in three parts. in the next step, the nature, levels and foundation of justice in the viewpoint of the holy prophet are discussed. for purp...

Random matrix theory can be used to describe the transport properties of a chaotic quantum dot coupled to leads. In such a description, two approaches have been taken in the literature, considering either the Hamiltonian of the dot or its scattering matrix as the fundamental random quantity of the theory. In this paper, we calculate the first four moments of the distribution of the scattering m...

The introduction of Eurocode in Kazakhstan allows for the application modern technological innovations and elimination technical barriers realization international projects. It is significant to study standards design requirements provided Eurocode. This presents a comparative analysis Kazakhstani European approaches geotechnical foundations provides methods considered codes practice. Three dif...

Some issues for categorical foundations for mathematics are explored.Among them: how categorical foundations assert the existence of their objectsand arrows, and how categorical set theory motivates its own axiom scheme ofreplacement. Two interpretations of ZF into categorical set theory are explicitlycompared. One is homophonic but partial; the other is total and uses membershi...

Micro-foundations have become an important emerging theme in strategic management. This paper addresses micro-foundations in two related ways. First, we argue that the kind of macro (or “collectivist”) explanation that is utilized in the capabilities view in strategic management ⎯ which implies a neglect of micro-foundations ⎯ is incomplete. There are no mechanisms that work solely on the macro...
