although bearing capacity of footings on top of slopes under monotonic loadings have been investigated widely so far, safety and bearing capacity of these structures against repeated dynamic loads have not been considered well enough. in this paper, lower bound dynamic shakedown theorem in its numerical form has been employed to firstly obtain bearing capacity of strip footings on top of slopes...

Underwater wet welding (UWW) combined with the shielded metal arc (SMAW) method has proven to be an effective way of permanently joining metals that can performed in water. This research was conducted determine effect water flow rate on physical and mechanical properties (tensile, hardness, toughness, bending effect) underwater welded bead A36 steel plate. The control variables used were a spee...

In uncertain situations such as descending challenging slopes, social signals from caregivers can provide infants with important information for guiding action. Previous work showed that 18-month-old walking infants use social information selectively, only when risk of falling is uncertain. Experiment 1 was designed to alter infants' region of uncertainty for walking down slopes. Slippery Teflo...

Article shows shear tests results for anchorage using bent foundation bolts 16, 24 and 36 mm in diameter torque-controlled undercut anchors 12, 16 20 diameter. Load-displacement diagrams were acquired loads static dynamic cyclic uncracked cracked concrete. Cyclic loading pattern simulated seismic on anchors. Shear allowed to estimate influence of cracks strength ductility anchorage.

The gender wage gap among adult full-time workers, after controlling for educational attainment and other observable characteristics, is about half the size it was in 1980. Using Census and Current Population Survey data from 1959 through 1999, we assess the relative contributions of two factors to the decline in the gender wage gap: changes across cohorts in the relative slopes of men’s and wo...

A series of small-scale tests was undertaken to verify if granular anchors could be used as a slope stabilisation technique. The nature of the material used and the resulting loading configuration are described here. The work confirms that the inclusion of anchors within a slope mass, irrespective of their number or orientation, significantly enhances the capacity and ductility of the failure m...

FOR A KNOT K c S3, let S(K) c Q u {CQ} be the set of slopes of boundary curves of incompressible, %incompressible orientable surfaces in the knot exterior, slopes being normalized in the standard way so that a longitude has slope 0, a meridian slope co. These sets S(K) of %slopes are of special interest because of their relation with Dehn surgery and character varieties; see e.g., [2]. The only...

In his search for a unified field theory that could undercut quantum mechanics, Einstein considered five dimensional classical Kaluza-Klein theory. He studied this theory most intensively during the years 1938-1943. One of his primary objectives was finding a non-singular particle solution. In the full theory this search got frustrated and in the x-independent theory Einstein, together with Pau...

Stimulants have been shown to be safe and effective for reduction of the symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Despite much debate, however, there has been little empirical evidence as to whether stimulants affect authenticity and moral agency in children. Singh presents evidence that stimulants do not undercut children's' sense of self and increase their experience of agency. T...

Which slopes can or cannot appear as Seifert fibered slopes for hyperbolic knots in the 3-sphere S? It is conjectured that if r -surgery on a hyperbolic knot in S yields a Seifert fiber space, then r is an integer. We show that for each integer n ∈ Z, there exists a tunnel number one, hyperbolic knot Kn in S 3 such that n-surgery on Kn produces a small Seifert fiber space. AMS Classification 57...
