Experimental Study on Single-excavation Compound Shock-reflection Blasting Technology of Protective Layer by MA Mengmeng, ZHENG Jiawei, DU Haoliang, ZHAO Zhenfu, LU Wenbo

“…The excavation of the protective layer of the dam foundation needs to balance the excavation quality and high construction speed. Based on the excavation of the diversion channel foundation protection layer of the DBDP Hydropower Station in Pakistan, this paper proposes a compound shock-reflection blasting technique featuring a hollow iron ball installed at the gun hole's bottom and energy dissipation materials. …”

Kilonova/Macronova Emission from Compact Binary Mergers by Masaomi Tanaka

“…Kilonova/macronova candidates can be distinguished from supernovae by (1) the faster time evolution, (2) fainter absolute magnitudes, and (3) redder colors. Since the high expansion velocity (v~0.1–0.2c) is a robust outcome of compact binary mergers, the detection of smooth spectra will be the smoking gun to conclusively identify the gravitational wave source.…”
