The paper presents the numerical simulation of an underground excavation in Callovo-Oxfordian argillaceous formation, performed Meuse/Haute-Marne research laboratory, within context deep geological nuclear waste disposal. constitutive model adopted incorporates a number characteristic features hydromechanical behaviour claystone, and other indurated clays, including anisotropy time-dependent de...

Exploration of planets has significant chances of discoveries e.g. discovery of new substances, as well as finding keys to the origin of our planet. However, some terrains are poorly explored, especially the underground ones. Thus, we have developed underground explorers that use peristaltic crawling of an earthworm for a propulsion part and an earth auger (EA) for an excavation. In this paper,...

Accurately recognizing the influence of excavation disturbance on traversing cross-type deep foundation pit subway, determining active range disturbance, and reasonably arranging structure within its can effectively ensure safety project save resources to achieve goal sustainable development. A three-dimensional model was established using soil small strain hardening examine subway in CBD (cent...

Neuroblasts produced by the neural stem cells of the adult subventricular zone (SVZ) migrate into damaged brain areas after stroke or other brain injuries, and previous data have suggested that they generate regionally appropriate new neurons. To classify the types of neurons produced subsequent to ischemic injury, we combined BrdU or virus labeling with multiple neuronal markers to characteriz...

The propagation of borehole Stoneley waves is strongly correlated with permeability of the formation. Previous studies primarily focused on the situation where the permeability is homogeneously distributed in the formation. In many in-situ situations, however, the permeability distribution of the formation is heterogeneous, due to effects such as a damaged zone around the borehole, random varia...

The paper presents the use of tablet pc in archaeology, it explains what is a tablet PC and the steps to draw archaeological remains using a digital photomosaic. It’s described the test made during the experience in the roman town Grumentum in South Italy (2006). The use of a tablet pc in archaeological excavation is a powerful tool for digital documentation. This work explains a method to take...

We have developed a rat brain organotypic culture model, in which tissue slices contain cortex-subventricular zone-striatum regions, to model neuroblast activity in response to in vitro ischemia. Neuroblast activation has been described in terms of two main parameters, proliferation and migration from the subventricular zone into the injured cortex. We observed distinct phases of neuroblast act...

We report exceptional preservation of fossil wood buried deeply in a kimberlite pipe that intruded northwestern Canada's Slave Province 53.3±0.6 million years ago (Ma), revealed during excavation of diamond source rock. The wood originated from forest surrounding the eruption zone and collapsed into the diatreme before resettling in volcaniclastic kimberlite to depths >300 m, where it was mummi...

Barite is an important additive material to increase the weight of excavation mud. It has been used extensively in the excavation mud industry. The barite particle sizes used in excavation mud is very important. There is a direct relationship between the amount on the sift of 200 and 325 mesh. By reducing particle sizes of the 200 and 325 mesh, the specific gravity of the barite power increased...
