Optimal life-cycle adaptation of coastal infrastructure under climate change by Ashmita Bhattacharya, Konstantinos G. Papakonstantinou, Gordon P. Warn, Lauren McPhillips, Melissa M. Bilec, Chris E. Forest, Rahaf Hasan, Digant Chavda

“…Due to the substantial uncertainties inherent in climate projections, this identified policy will likely be sub-optimal with respect to the actual climate trajectory that evolves in time. In this work, we thus formulate climate risk management as a dynamic decision-making problem based on Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) and Partially Observable MDPs (POMDPs), taking real-time data into account for evaluating the evolving conditions and related model uncertainties, in order to select the best possible life-cycle actions in time, with global optimality guarantees for the formulated optimization problem. …”

Migration Characteristics of Boring Mud in Roadway Floor Anchor Wire Hole and Test in Coal Mine by Hui Zhang, Weihai Han, Youlin Xu, Mengzhi Zhu, Zhanyang Liu, Zhenfeng Wang

“…It is concluded that the interaction between the three zones of drilling and slag is the fundamental reason restricting the rapid drilling of the anchor cable hole in the floor, and it is proposed that the pump reverse circulation drilling can effectively prevent the formation of the three zones of drilling and slag. According to the actual situation, the relationship between drilling depth, vacuum degree of the pump, and the velocity of drilling fluid and the volume of drilling slag is obtained. …”
