Seismic Risk Assessment of Ancient Timber Structures Based on Improved Matter-element Extension Model

In order to accurately predict the risk level of ancient timber structures under earthquake,22 evaluation indexes were selected, including hazard of disaster-causing factors, susceptibility assessment of disaster environment, and vulnerabil...

Hydrogen-powered drives of the rail vehicles (part 1)

The paper presents the reasons for launching the efforts aimed at implementing the lowemission rail vehicles. A short history of development of the hydrogen-powered drive solutions is described. It has been pointed out that implementation o...

Accidental explosions on the railway: simulation-based prediction of damage to nearby buildings

A procedure for estimating potential damage to buildings induced by accidental explosions on the railway is developed. By the damage failures of nearby structures due to actions generated by the accidental explosions are meant. This damage ...

Transportation Engineering

Abstract Transportation engineering is a multidisciplinary subject within civil engineering involving the planning, design, operation, and maintenance of transportation systems and associated infrastructure such as highways, roads, and rail...

Transportation Engineering

The shipments were absolutely necessary at all times, but still have polluted and damaged the environment. The technique of transport or the engineering of transport is the application of the principles of technology and scientific findings...

Controls on Ice Cliff Distribution and Characteristics on Debris‐Covered Glaciers

Abstract Ice cliff distribution plays a major role in determining the melt of debris‐covered glaciers but its controls are largely unknown. We assembled a data set of 37,537 ice cliffs and determined their characteristics across 86 debris‐c...

Comparison between electrical resistivity tomography and tunnel seismic prediction 303 methods for detecting the water zone ahead of the tunnel face: A case study

In deep tunnels with hydro-geological conditions, it is paramount to investigate the geological structure of the region before excavating a tunnel; otherwise, unanticipated accidents may cause serious damage and delay the project. The purpo...

Two-Stage Framework for Efficient UAV-Based Wildfire Video Analysis With Adaptive Compression and Fire Source Detection

Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have become increasingly important in disaster emergency response by facilitating aerial video analysis. Due to the limited computational resources available on UAVs, large models cannot be run efficiently fo...

MFEFNet: An Efficient Network for Infrared Small Target Detection With Multiview Feature Extraction and Multiscale Attention Fusion

Infrared small target detection (IRSTD) remains a core challenge in remote sensing, mainly due to low signal-to-noise ratios, small target sizes, background interference, and large-scale variations. Although existing methods have achieved p...

Neural computing in geophysics

The 17th century philosopher-mathematician Rene Descartes offered the statement “Cogito, ergo sum” or “I think, therefore I am” as proof of his personal existence. While modern computers using artificial intelligence technologies cannot mat...

Encyclopedic Dictionary of Applied Geophysics

The fourth edition of SEG's best seller is a valuable, comprehensive reference that is a must for every geophysicist, geologist, explorationist, engineer, energy adviser, economist, editor, and student involved in the field. Hundreds of ter...

Glacier Geophysics

From physical measurements on glaciers and experimental studies of ice properties a framework of concept and theory is being built which bids fair to place glaciers among the more quantitatively understandable phenomena in the earth science...

Encyclopedic dictionary of exploration geophysics

The New Geophysics

Abstract New Geophysics of critically microcracked rock is a new understanding of fluid‐rock deformation that matches much of the behaviour of in situ rock observed throughout the Earth's crust and uppermost mantle. The behaviour of rock in...

Gondwana Six: Structure, Tectonics, and Geophysics

This volume contains ma ny of the papers presented at the Sixth International Gondwana Symposium, held at the Institute of Polar Studies, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, August 19-23, 1985. The symposium was the first held outsid...

A novel method for imitating true-triaxial stress path with conventional triaxial apparatus

Abstract The stress paths of the cylindrical specimen in the p–q stress space by controlling the ratio of the axial and the radial loading is guaranteed to be consistent with the cuboid specimen, a novel method for imitating true-triaxial s...

The Response of Radiative Forcing to High Spatiotemporally Resolved Land‐Use Change and Transition From 1982 to 2010 in China

Abstract Significant uncertainties remain in the estimate of radiative forcing (RF) induced by land‐use change (LUC), partially attributable to the lack of reliable LUC data with a high spatiotemporal resolution. We implemented a high spati...

A geotechnical investigation on a recent gigantic rock avalanche at the Patalganga-Langsi site on the Badrinath highway of chamoli, Uttarakhand (Garhwal Himalaya), India

Abstract Garhwal Himalaya is one of the most landslide-prone regions in the Himalayan Belt due to its seismo-tectonic background, geological complexity, climate, geomorphological setting and large-scale human interference. A gigantic rock a...

Land and Atmosphere Precursors to Fuel Loading, Wildfire Ignition and Post‐Fire Recovery

Abstract Land surface‐atmosphere coupling and soil moisture memory are shown to combine into a distinct temporal pattern for wildfire incidents across the western United States. We investigate the dynamic interplay of observed soil moisture...
