The article presents the results of theoretical studies describing process crack growth during processing rocks in mills. mathematical apparatus theory oscillation round plates is used to determine energy parameters propagation process. An expression found for identifying deformation wall as a result impact. shock pulse acting on are determined. value impact necessary destruction rock has been ...

Drilling into a rock massif is energetically extremely consumptive process. Hence the optimization of drilling regime with objective of energy consumption minimization, is very important. Proposed article discusses partial problem of this problem. During the drilling process it is useful to know the drilled rock type, whereas to particular drilled rock needs convenient drilling regime, which is...

protein serine/threonine kinase (ROCK), is one of the central regulatory molecules for cytoskeleton control and cell adhesion process. ROCK also involves in other cell functions such as apoptosis and tumor invasiveness. Rho kinase is thought to play an important role in a variety of cellar functions such as stress fiber formation, focal adhesion formation, cell aggregation, cell morphology, cyt...

In this work, the effect of rock bolt angle on the shear behavior of Rock Bridges is investigated using the particle flow code in two dimensions (PFC2D) for three different Rock Bridge lengths. Firstly, the calibration of PF2D is performed to reproduce the gypsum sample. Then the numerical models with the dimensions of 100 mm * 100 mm are prepared. The Rock Bridge is created in the middle of th...

No prior research has documented the different types of rock coatings in Yosemite Valley, despite the evident black streaks down Yosemite Falls, the light granitic rock exposed by recent rock falls contrasting with dark rock coatings, and the millions of visitors who have photographed the coated rocks of Yosemite. This paper identifies the types of rock coatings found on Half Dome, in Yosemite ...

The discharge of groundwater and the load on lining structure are both significantly impacted by obstruction tunnel drainage system. In this study, fluid–structure interaction model was established based finite difference software FLAC3D. Then, research explored effects symmetric asymmetric blockage in circular drainpipe, transverse drainpipe at pipe joint pore water pressure, displacement stre...

This paper presents an empirical design of the excavation method and support system tunnel 1 Sigli-Aceh toll road, Indonesia, based on rock mass quality Rock Mass Rating (RMR) Japan Society Civil Engineers (JSCE). The results showed that route consisted fair to good calcarenite interlayered by sandstone D II C categories RMR JSCE. Based RMR, recommended for section having is full-face, top head...

Introduction: We have completed analysis of a new near-field rock count at the Mars Pathfinder landing site and determined that the previously published [1,2] rock count suggesting 16 % cumulative fractional area (CFA) covered by rocks is incorrect. The earlier value is not so much wrong (our new CFA is 20%), as right for the wrong reason: both the old and the new CFA’s are consistent with remo...

The potential benefits and risks of physical activity before and during pregnancy are not well studied. We studied the relation between recreational physical activity and the risk of preeclampsia in a case-control study of 201 preeclamptic and 383 normotensive pregnant women. Participants provided information about the type, intensity, frequency, and duration of physical activity performed duri...

Magnetotactic bacteria precipitate intracellular crystals of single-domain magnetite (Fe3O4) and/or greigite (Fe3S4), which have often been implicated in carrying the natural remanent magnetization (NRM) of freshwater and marine sediments. In vivo, the magnetic crystals are usually aligned in chains such that their moments add together, generating net cellular moments high enough to rotate the ...
