McGa Atomic oxygen embedment into a Cu(100) surface is studied by density functional theory calculation and the nudged elastic band method. As the oxygen coverage increases on the unreconstructed surface from 0.25 monolayer (ML) to 0.75 ML, the energ...

Abstract This paper presents the results of a numerical FEM analysis effect embedment depth on extent failure zone (cone failure) under an undercut anchor. For establishment other affecting quantities, formation value cone angle rock medium depending was analysed. The problem is interesting as regards aspects mass loosening during pull-out anchors. As result analysis, significant propagation an...

This paper presents a feed forward back-propagation neural network model to estimate the vertical deformation of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) small diameter flexible pipes buried in reinforced trenches and settlement of soil surface (SSS) subjected to repeated loadings to simulate the heavy vehicle loads. The experimental data show that the vertical diametral strain (VDS) of pipe embedded i...

The ballastless plate girder bridge, classified as a structure type that requires an emergent replacement among domestic railway bridges, generally tends to upgrade ballasted track along with continuous welded rail (CWR). axial forces of the CWR due temperature change need be distributed bridge foundations. Because most existing bridges over 50 years age do not provide any design information, s...

Entrepreneurship education in engineering and technology is lacking in majority of Universities worldwide. More attention to engineering entrepreneurship education has been emerging recently. In this paper, a literature review on entrepreneurship and engineering entrepreneurship education is provided. The main findings of the review indicate the very new history of systematic integration of ent...

Theory of Mind (ToM) has been proposed to explain social interactions, with real people but also with fictional characters, by interpreting their mind as well as our own. "Perspective embedding" exploits ToM by placing events in characters' minds (e.g., "he remembered she was home"). Three levels of embedment, common in literature, may be a "sweet spot" that provides enough information about a ...

China has enjoyed thirty years seemingly unstoppable high speed economic growth. During the new Xi Era, Chinese government starts a reform aimed at anti-corruption and contractionary welfare provision policy to combat economic and social challenges. This paper seeks to explain why different types of government embedment in two provinces results in different societal and economic reaction to the...

The development of network technology brings wider imaginary space for teaching techniques reforms. The research on application of WeChat as the most popular social information platform in classroom teaching is receiving increasingly more attention. This paper discusses the establishment of WeChat-based piano teaching communication platform. WeChat platform provides students with creation, comm...
