Experimental Study on the Active Earth Pressure of Narrow Cohesionless Backfills against Rigid Retaining Wall under the Translation Mode by Li-Wei Xu, Yu-Jian Lin

“…The backfill behind the retaining wall is narrow, which causes an overestimation in the active earth pressure by using Coulomb’s earth pressure theory. In previous studies, experimental observations for the failure modes of narrow backfills are still rare. …”

«Omsk group» in exile in Manchuria by M. V. Krotova

“…Based on unpublished sources and emigrant memoirs, the work analyzes the issue of social adaptation to the conditions of emigration in Manchuria by representatives of the «Omsk group», which consisted of former members of the anti-Bolshevik Siberian governments during the Civil War. Based on the theory of social adaptation and the anthropological approach, the article focuses on such aspects of the biography of this category of figures as behavioral strategies, service on the Chinese Eastern Railway, and the choice of citizenship. …”

A robust scheme for securing relational data incremental watermarking by Maikel Lázaro Pérez Gort, Agostino Cortesi

“…Although incremental watermarking is defined in theory as the requirement of generating and inserting a mark whenever data is inserted or updated in a watermarked database (if the new value requires marking), its practical deployment is often ignored in the validation of proposed techniques, possibly due to how its deployment affects other requirements, such as the public system and security. …”

A Multistep Look-Ahead Deadlock Avoidance Policy for Automated Manufacturing Systems by Chao Gu, Zhiwu Li, Abdulrahman Al-Ahmari

“…This paper focuses on the deadlock avoidance problem for systems of simple sequential processes with resources (S3PR) by using Petri nets structural analysis theory. Inspired by the one-step look-ahead DAP that is an established result, which is of polynomial complexity, for an S3PR without one-unit-capacity resources shared by two or more resource-transition circuits (in the Petri net model) that do not include each other, this research explores a multiple-step look-ahead deadlock avoidance policy for a system modeled with an S3PR that contains a shared one-unit-capacity resource in resource-transition circuits. …”
