STUDY ON MUDCAKE DISINTEGRATION IN CLAYEY STRATA DURING SHIELD TUNNELING: EFFECTS OF DISPERSANTS AND BENTONITE SLURRY

Study on Mudcake disintegration in clayey strata during shield tunneling: Effects of dispersants and bentonite slurry

While tunnel boring machines (TBMs) tunneling in clayey strata, the adhered excavated soil on the cutterhead and cutting tools tends to form mudcake after compaction and consolidation.Mudcake can obstruct the cutterhead openings and rendering the cutting tools ineffective, leads to a substantial reduction in advance rate.Dispersants are recognized

Baseline Optimization for Spatial-Temporal Coupling in Geosynchronous Differential Synthetic Aperture Radar Tomography

Differential synthetic aperture radar tomography (D-TomoSAR) uses multiple SAR acquisitions at different times to form an elevation-time 2-D synthetic aperture, enabling recovery of the target's 3-D structure and deformation velocity.However, the imaging performance of D-TomoSAR is Thread Aids influenced by the spatial-temporal baseline dist

R/BHC: fast Bayesian hierarchical clustering for microarray data

Abstract Background Although the use of clustering methods has rapidly become one of the standard computational approaches in the literature of microarray gene expression data analysis, little attention has been paid to uncertainty in the results obtained.Results We present an COLOUR SAVOUR CONDITIONER R/Bioconductor port of a fast novel algorithm
