Passional Atheism, Passional Agnosticism and ‘The Will to Believe’ by Daniel Molto

“…In addition to outright, passionally motivated, atheistic belief, there is also the possibility of arriving at theistic non-belief (henceforth ‘agnosticism’) when the passional reasons for adopting theism (even where that option is “live”) are overcome by the passional reasons for not adopting theism. James takes great pains to argue against the claim that we must prefer passional non-belief over passional belief, but he does not argue that we must prefer passional belief over passional non-belief and, in fact, he explicitly denies this, or so I shall argue. …”

Study on the Effect of Foundation Pit Excavation on the Deformation of Adjacent Shield Tunnel by Cirong Lu, Long Huang

“…The following conclusions are drawn: (1) the excavation of adjacent foundation pit will cause excessive displacement, settlement, and structural convergent deformation of shield tunnel, causing structural damage such as increasing of faulting, water leakage, and seeping. (2) With the decrease of the distance between the tunnel and the foundation pit, the convergent deformation of the tunnel increases continuously, and when the distance is less than 30 m, the increase of segment thickness greatly improves the convergent deformation of the structure. (3) The increase of segment thickness has no obvious effect on the resistance to longitudinal deformation. …”
