Information hidden in the state change of a gas obtained from the theoretical integrations of the partial derivatives by Sedong Kim, Soon-Ho Choi

“…The calculations of the change in the gas state are critical in most engineering applications. Generally, engineers and scientists use Boyle-Charles-Gay Lussac's (B-C-G) law of P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2 to calculate pressure (P), volume (V), and temperature (T) of gases and vapors. …”

Geometrical Distances of Extragalactic Binaries through Spectroastrometry by Yu-Yang Songsheng, Jian-Min Wang, Yuan Cao, XueFei Chen, JianPing Xiong, Zhi-Xiang Zhang, Rong-Gen Cai

“…Within a specific range of data quality and input parameters, the distance measurement precision of individual binary star systems is generally better than 10%. As a geometric method based on the simplest dynamics, it is independent of empirical calibration, and the systematics caused by model selections can be tested using nearby binaries with known distances. …”

In Situ Stress Prediction in Subsurface Rocks: An Overview and a New Method by Yushuai Zhang, Shangxian Yin, Jincai Zhang

“…This new stress polygon is easier to implement and is more accurate to determine in situ stresses by narrowing the area of the conventional stress polygon when drilling-induced tensile fracture and wellbore breakout data are available. Using the generalized Hooke’s law and coupling pore pressure and in situ stresses, a new method for estimating the maximum horizontal stress is proposed. …”

Blind Source Parameters for Performance Evaluation of Despeckling Filters by Nagashettappa Biradar, M. L. Dewal, ManojKumar Rohit, Sanjaykumar Gowre, Yogesh Gundge

“…The SMPI is three times more effective compared to the wavelet based generalized likelihood estimation approach. The quantitative evaluation and clinical validation reveal that the filters such as the nonlocal mean, posterior sampling based Bayesian estimation, hybrid median, and probabilistic patch based filters are acceptable whereas median, anisotropic diffusion, fuzzy, and Ripplet nonlinear approximation filters have limited applications for echocardiographic images.…”

Study on the Evolution of Water Gushing and Mud Bursting Process in Karst Tunnel by LEI Pengbo, XU Zhong, WANG Kunyun, HU Diyong, YANG Zhu, WANG Mengfei

“…With overall consideration of the influence of geological structure,hydrologic features, andconstruction,this paper abstractly generalizes the evolution of water gushing and mud burstingprocess in karst tunnel into four stages as follows:①The formation stage of karst geologicalenvironment provides geological conditions for the development and evolution of disaster-causingstructures;②The expansion stage of karst water system channel provides space for the storage andflow of water gushing and mud bursting; ③The critical state formation stage of karst watergushing and mud bursting is mainly affected by the disaster-causing mud &amp; water body and theartificial excavation of tunnels; ④The energy release and depressurization stage of karst watergushing and mud bursting is the end of the whole process, indicating that the disaster hasoccurred.Based on case analysis,the water gushing and mud bursting in karst tunnel is divided into 11types in 3 classes according to different factors as follows: geological structure class (faulttype, syncline type, anticline type, lithology interface type), water gushing channel class(fracture type, pipe type, cave type, underground river type), and water gushing and mud burstingclass (water gushing type, mud bursting type, mud and water bursting type).The research results canprovide reference for the research on the control of water gushing and mud bursting in the tunneland the safety construction of the tunnel.…”
