A Flexible Polynomial Expansion Method for Response Analysis with Random Parameters by Rugao Gao, Keping Zhou, Yun Lin

“…But in gPCEM, a nonlinear transformation of random variables should always be used to adapt the generalized Polynomial Chaos theory for the analysis of random problems with complicated probability distributions, which may introduce nonlinearity in the procedure of random uncertainty propagation as well as leading to approximation errors on the probability distribution function (PDF) of random variables. …”

Key challenges in providing assisted dying in Belgium: a qualitative analysis of health professionals’ experiences by Madeleine Archer, Lindy Willmott, Kenneth Chambaere, Luc Deliens, Ben P. White

“…Results: Four themes were generated: (1) the framing of the euthanasia legislation poses challenges; (2) providing euthanasia can place considerable burdens on health professionals; (3) clashing views about euthanasia can hamper opportunities for balanced discussions and (4) euthanasia and processes relating to euthanasia are not always well-understood. Conclusion: This study highlights the numerous and varied challenges physicians and nurses experience when providing euthanasia in Belgium, even 20 years after its law passing. …”

Energy Analysis on Dynamic Fragmentation Degree of Cemented Sand Specimens under Confining Pressure by Ying Xu, Jinjin Ge, Wei Huang

“…The results show that (1) the absorbed energy and incident energy were in a linear relationship and the proportion between them was relatively constant under confining pressure, and the absorbed energy had a quadratic relationship with the incident energy under zero confining pressure. (2) The fracture energy ratio increased with the increase in incident energy, the damage energy ratio decreased with the increase in incident energy, and the damage energy ratio were always higher than the fracture energy ratio under confining pressure. (3) The energy absorbed by the cemented sand specimens decreased sharply with the increase of confining pressure under the same incident wave energy conditions, and the reflected wave energy and transmitted wave energy increased. (4) When the incident wave energy was constant, the ratio of the energy causing surface fractures to the energy absorbed by the cemented sand specimens decreased sharply with the increase of confining pressure, while the energy causing crack growth and damage increased sharply. …”
