Liquefiable Ground Treatment Using Cruciform Section Probe Resonant Compaction Method: A Case Study in the Xitong Expressway, Eastern China by Guangyin Du, Han Xia, Jun Cai, Huangsong Pan, Changshen Sun

“…The CSPRCM has wider applicability than traditional vibrating compaction methods, especially for sites with a high content of silt and clay particles. The strengthening mechanism of the CSPRCM is a vibration hammer that generates vibrational energy to obliterate the original soil structure and render the sand completely liquefied; the soil particles then rearrange to form a new structure.…”

Abernethy Malformation in Combination with Gilbert’s Syndrome by N. B. Gubergrits, E. L. Bondar, E. A. Dyadyk, E. V. Berezhnaya, Yu. E. Chirkov, N. V. Byelyayeva, G. M. Lukashevich, T. L. Mozhyna

“…Abernethy syndrome is a rare vascular anomaly associated with a congenital absence of the portal vein, as a result of which portal blood from the intestines and spleen drains directly into the systemic circulation bypassing the liver though a complete or partial shunt. In the vast majority of cases, Abernethy syndrome is manifested during the newborn period by jaundice syndrome, hypergalactosemia and encephalopathy. …”

A Coupled Thermo-Hydromechanical Model of Soil Slope in Seasonally Frozen Regions under Freeze-Thaw Action by Yongxiang Zhan, Zheng Lu, Hailin Yao, Shaohua Xian

“…Soil slope diseases in seasonally frozen regions are mostly related to water migration and frost heave deformation of the soil. Based on the partial differential equation defined using the COMSOL Multiphysics software, a thermo-hydromechanical coupling model considering water migration, ice-water phase change, ice impedance, and frost heave is constructed, and the variations in the temperature field, migration of liquid water, accumulation of solid ice, and deformation of frost heave in frozen soil slopes are analysed. …”
