Study on the Seismic Performance of Small-Diameter Bolts Reinforced in Grottoes by Ningbo Peng, Bo Sun, Jizhong Huang, Yun Dong, Ye Zhu

“…Small-diameter bolts have also been used in the reinforcement projects at the Yungang Grottoes, but the corresponding effect on the seismic performance of grottoes is still unclear. In this paper, a dynamic analysis via the numerical modelling of an ear grotto of the 19th grotto in Yungang is established, and the rock displacement, acceleration, and bolt axial force responses under a seismic wave are analyzed. …”

A P2P Framework for Developing Bioinformatics Applications in Dynamic Cloud Environments by Chun-Hung Richard Lin, Chun-Hao Wen, Ying-Chih Lin, Kuang-Yuan Tung, Rung-Wei Lin, Chun-Yuan Lin

“…Various efforts have been made to address the problems of data discovery and delivery in the cloud framework, but most of them suffer the hindrance by a MapReduce master server to track all available data. In this paper, we propose an alternative approach, called PRKad, which exploits a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) model to achieve efficient data discovery and delivery. …”
