Melting features and viscosity of SiO2-CaO-MgO-Al2O3-FeO nickel slag in laterite metallurgy by Pan C., Lv X., Bai C., Liu X., Li D.

“…The results showed that: 1) all the slag samples began to soften at the same temperature; 2) the softening temperature, melting temperature and flowing temperature decreased with the increase of basicity from 0.76 to 0.92, after that, the temperatures would increase sharply. 3) the inflection point temperature of viscosity-temperature curve became larger and larger with the increase of basicity within 0.76 ~ 0.99.…”

Experimental Assessments of Treating Effect on Retaining Walls for Loess Slopes under Long-Term Rainfall by Guodong Liu, Zhijun Zhou, Shiqiang Xu, Wenjing Mi

“…The results proposed that effectual measures hence needed to be taken so as to avert rainwater infiltrating along the wall face and back or flowing through the wall body, which can soften the soil of the slope bottom. Although the wet front was developed by the rainfall process, it cannot be used as the boundary between saturated and unsaturated areas. …”

Elemental analysis and hardness characterization of fermented green arabica coffee bean using Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) by Hartadi Beny Sulistyo, Ikhwani Rauzatul, Abdulmadjid Syahrun Nur

“…The spectral intensity of Ca was notably higher in ordinary coffee, with the Ca (II)/Ca (I) ratio 2.2 times that of fermented coffee, indicating a softer structure in fermented beans. This study demonstrates the potential of LIBS for distinguishing spectral characteristics of Gayo Arabica green beans.…”

Process Parameters and Tool Design in Friction Stir Extrusion: A Sustainable Recycling Technique by Mostafa Akbari, Parviz Asadi, Reza Abdi Behnagh, Fevzi Bedir, Naghdali Choupani, Tomasz Sadowski

“…The rotating mandrel exerts continuous axial pressure, generating frictional heat that softens and bonds the materials together. As the mandrel advances, the materials are reshaped and extruded through the cavity inside the mandrel or the space between the mandrel and the matrix, resulting in the desired product, such as wires or pipes. …”

Analysis of the Deformation Characteristics and Formation Mechanism of Reservoir Landslides under Rainfall Conditions by DOU Sijun, XU Xingqian, LI Jiguo, LING Huikun, ZHOU Shasha

“…Hexi reservoir landslide is located in Tianyuan Town,Changning County,Baoshan City,Yunnan Province.There are obvious tensile cracks,fault,bank slope retaining wall and cut-off ditch crack deformation at its rear edge,which bring a serious threat to the safety of spillways and dam body.Based on the basic morphological features and geological environment conditions of the landslide,combined with the geological survey data,this paper analyzes the deformation characteristics and induced factors of the landslide and judges the landslide as a large-scale thick-layer traction-pushing bedding landslide,simulates the change of slope pore water pressure and safety coefficient under the conditions of different rainfall intensity and reservoir water level change by Geo-Studio numerical software,and analyzes & evaluates its stability.The results show that:Under continuous rainfall,the reservoir water level rises,the front edge of the slope body softens,the pressure of pore water in the slope body increases,the natural discharge effect produces,and the sliding force increases,which aggravate the deformation,failure and destabilization of slope body.In the process of the sudden drop of reservoir water level,the backpressure effect of the reservoir water is weakened,and the water penetration of the pre-slope body produces the dynamic water pressure,which is more likely to lead to the occurrence of such landslides.The steep slope terrain and bedding structure of downward rock formation in the landslide area create favorable conditions for the development of the landslide,and thecontinuous rainfall is the main factor of the landslide.The joint cutting slope and backpressure anti-slip pile is an effective means to prevent and control the landslide.The results can serve as theoretical reference for the analysis,judgment and timely prevention of similar landslides in daily operation and management of reservoir.…”
