Abstract The composite system of stone columns reinforced soil overlaid by granular mattress (GM) has been given more attention as a hybrid improvement technique. This work presents 3D finite element analyses using PLAXIS software for floating group constructed in deep soft clay deposit Port-Said Egypt. limited area loading was investigated conjunction with the key parameters, i.e., length, dia...

The earth nailing system is a ground improvement technique used to stabilize slopes. behavior of the dependent on soil and characteristics, such as spacing between nails, orientation, length, method installation properties, slope height angle, surcharge loading, among others. In present study, three-dimensional physical model was built simulate nailed with scale 1:10 various nail characteristic...

Rock masses are non-homogenous, discontinuous media composed of rock material and naturally occurring discontinuities such as joints, fractures bedding planes. Due to the presence geological faults planes, compressive strength modulus elasticity jointed mass significantly reduced measurement behaviour these below foundation becomes a challenging task. Previous researches have dealt with bearing...

THE 1959 Mental Health Act emphasises the need to integrate psychiatric patients with the community at large rather than to isolate them from it, as hitherto. This identification with the normal community has been the Ministry of Labour's approach to the employment of disabled people since the time of the Disabled Persons (Employment) <4ct of 1944. For the past 17 years all disabled people, whe...

The nonverbal behaviors of conversational partners reflect their conversational footing, signaling who in the group are the speakers, addressees, bystanders, and overhearers. Many applications of virtual reality (VR) will involve multiparty conversations with virtual agents and avatars of others where appropriate signaling of footing will be critical. In this paper, we introduce computational m...

This research evaluated four SPT-based design equations used to estimate the carrying capacity of shallow footing. Using different methods, two plate load tests performed on silty clay and soil in Nasiriyah have been obtain ultimate load-carrying capacity. Further, this study aims utilize finite element method based Plaxis 3D foundation software simulate behavior settlement with actual dimensio...

We here consider a stochastic version of the classical neural field equation that is currently actively studied in the mathematical neuroscience community. Our goal is to present a well-known rigorous probabilistic framework in which to study these equations in a way that is accessible to practitioners currently working in the area, and thus to bridge some of the cultural/scientific gaps betwee...

David Makumi is an award-winning cancer control leader. The US Oncology Nursing Society. (ONS) awarded him the prestigious Distinguished Award for contribution to cancer care in 2011. The following year, the International Society of Nurses in Cancer Care presented him with the Past President Award for his work in designing low-cost models of increasing access to breast cancer screening. David i...
