The 2020 Jiashi Mw 6.0 earthquake occurred at the Kepingtage fold-and-thrust belt in South Tianshan front, Northwestern China. ground shaking caused extensive co-seismic deformation of Xiker dam meizoseismal area. We obtained strata distribution characteristics foundation through drilling. Using laboratory and situ tests, particle size distribution, standard penetration, shear wave velocity eac...

The construction of a cut-off wall is common reinforcement method for earth rock dams. At present, compared with the in-depth study on homogeneous dams, more and attention being paid to stability deformation dams strengthened by concrete wall. In this study, aiming at Wujing project dam wall, influence water level rise fall slope, body, crack width crest were analyzed numerical calculation in s...

As environmental sounds are used by larval fish and crustaceans to locate and orientate towards habitat during settlement, variations in the acoustic signature produced by habitats could provide valuable information about habitat quality, helping larvae to differentiate between potential settlement sites. However, very little is known about how acoustic signatures differ between proximate habit...

Payment systems are one of the key Financial Market Infrastructures (FMIs) and have showed remarkable progress over the past two decades. The first half of this chapter focuses on the evolutionary process of payment systems, starting with the Deferred Net Settlement (DNS) system and progressing to the RealTime Gross Settlement (RTGS) system. Subsequently, much more sophisticated payment systems...

Processes occurring early in the life stages of corals can greatly influence the demography of coral populations, and successful settlement of coral larvae that leads to recruitment is a critical life history stage for coral reef ecosystems. Although corals in Singapore persist in one the world's most anthropogenically impacted reef systems, our understanding of the role of coral settlement in ...

The liquefaction of soil surrounding a pile significantly affects the dynamic interaction between and pile. In particular, sloping ground can induce permanent deformation bending moment on due to lateral displacement liquefied in downslope direction. However, numerical analysis studies piles installed liquefiable slope have been very limited not properly simulated behavior Therefore, modified s...

Both ecological and social factors play an important role in determining the structure of animal settlement patterns. While the ecological factors determining animal settlement are generally well known, the relative importance of social factors in mediating fine-scale settlement choices is poorly understood. As a result, we have little knowledge of why individuals choose to settle near specific...

Settlement size predicts extreme variation in the rates and magnitudes of many social and ecological processes in human societies. Yet, the factors that drive human settlement-size variation remain poorly understood. Size variation among economically integrated settlements tends to be heavy tailed such that the smallest settlements are extremely common and the largest settlements extremely larg...
