Investigation into the PSD characteristics of internally unstable soils susceptible to suffosion by Xingjie Zhang, Ahmed Benamar, Linjun Yang, Jun Zhu, Mohamad Oueidat, Yulong Luo

“…Through this analysis, two characteristic parameters have been identified: fines content (F f ) and the retention ratio (D’ 15/d’ 85) which represents the relationship between coarse and fine particles. Soils including fines content greater than 35% are susceptible to suffosion, while soils with fines content lower than 20% are prone to suffusion. …”

The Behavioral Mechanism and Forecasting of Beijing Housing Prices from a Multiscale Perspective by Yan Li, Zhaoyang Xiang, Tao Xiong

“…Specifically, the monthly house price in Beijing over the period January 2005 to November 2018 is first decomposed into several different time-scale intrinsic-mode functions (IMFs) and a residual via EEMD, revealing some interesting characteristics in house price volatility. Then, we compose the IMFs and residual into three components caused by normal market disequilibrium, extreme events, and the economic environment using the fine-to-coarse reconstruction algorithm. …”
