The Scale Effect of Coarse-Grained Materials by Triaxial Test Simulation by Xiaotao Ai, Guangjin Wang, Xiangyun Kong, Bo Cui, Bin Hu, Hongling Ma

“…If particle breakage and migration were assumed to be neglected, the internal friction angle φ and dmax would be roughly proportional, the cohesive force c fluctuated with the increase of dmax, and the empirical relations between dmax and c and φ were established, respectively, which provides a reference for estimating the actual shear strength parameters of coarse-grained materials on-site. The research results can provide a way of thinking for the study of the scale effect of coarse-grained materials and also have certain reference significance for inferring the strength parameters of the original-graded coarse-grained materials.…”

Development of the blockchain curriculum system based on the PRIDE teaching mode by Yizhong LIU, Jianwei LIU, Qianhong WU

“…In recent years, with the widespread attention received by its currency attributes from all sectors of society, blockchain technology has been rapidly developed.Being an emerging technology, blockchain technology possessed characteristics such as decentralization, immutability, and anonymity that found extensive applications in digital currency, supply chain management, electronic voting and other fields.In response to the government's call, universities across the country began offering blockchain courses.However, during the actual teaching process, common problems such as lack of educational resources and untimely curriculum updates were encountered.Many blockchain courses in universities remained at the theoretical level and lacked practical application and practice, resulting in poor learning effectiveness and difficulty in meeting societal needs.To address these problems, a blockchain curriculum construction scheme based on the PRIDE teaching model was proposed.This scheme combined the advantages of traditional teaching models with the characteristics of blockchain courses were combined, incorporating political teaching, research teaching, inspiration teaching, seminar teaching, and example teaching into blockchain courses.The aim was to improve students’ learning effectiveness and practical application abilities.Through years of teaching verification, it was proven that this scheme successfully resolved the issues existing in traditional blockchain courses and improved learning effectiveness and practical application abilities.Additionally, the scheme met the requirements for training cyberspace security talent, providing a strong talent guarantee for the development and application of blockchain technology in China while achieving significant teaching effects.…”
