The relationship between the countries' performances at the major sport events with their performance at the Olympic Games by Bahman Asgarı, Shahab Bahramı

“…The results showed that there is positive and significantly relationship between the number of medals of gold, silver, bronze and total medals won by countries at former Olympic Games, world championships, Asian and Pan-American Games with the number of Medals of gold, silver, bronze and total medals won at upcoming Olympic Games, However, there is not significantly relationship between the number of medals of gold, silver, bronze and total medals won at all-African Games with the number of medals of gold, silver, bronze and total medals won at Olympic Games.…”

Improving the Stability of Subsurface Structures in Deep Metal Mines by Stress and Energy Adjustment: A Case Study by Huanxin Liu, Xingquan Liu, Zhuoying Tan, Yang Liu, Guilin Li

“…In this paper, the mechanism of structural failure and instability is discussed, and optimized excavation methods are proposed for stress control in deep gold mines. Based on the field observation and investigation of the joints distribution and rock failure modes at 800–1200 m depth of several large gold mines and a typical ultradeep borehole (2017 m depth) in northwest Jiaodong Peninsula, three engineering methods for reducing stress, including the stress transferring by mining optimizations, pressure relief by boreholes, and energy release in advance by optimizations of excavation and support, are analyzed by numerical simulation and field monitoring. …”

Formation of Au-Silane Bonds by Shira Yochelis, Eran Katzir, Yoav Kalcheim, Vitaly Gutkin, Oded Millo, Yossi Paltiel

“…With this respect, we choose to investigate self-assembly of disilane molecules sandwiched between gold surface and gold nanoparticles. These assemblies are found to exhibit covalent bonds not only between the anchoring Si groups and the gold surfaces but also in plane crosslinks that increase the monolayer stability. …”
