Morphologic and Osteometric Analysis of the Skull of Markhoz Goat (Iranian Angora) by Nader Goodarzi, Toraj Shah Hoseini

“…A skull length of 18.67 ± 0.66, a cranial length of 11.1±0.38, a facial length of 10.23±0.76, a skull index of 47.77±1.96, a cranial index of 54.04±2.29, a facial index of 100.77±6.85 and a foramen magnum index of 89.32±14.1 were recorded. Morphologically frontal bone did not constitute the caudal extent of frontal surface; rather it was formed by the parietal bone. …”

Calculation of Soil Deformation Caused by Shield Tunneling through the Sludge Layer with Plastic Drainage Plates by Fan Zhang, Linchong Huang, Yu Liang

“…In this work, a Mindlin solution for ground deformation in such a layer is obtained, considering four factors: the frontal additional pressure generated by the shield cutterhead due to the soil squeezing effect, the uneven lateral friction between the shield shell and the soil, the frontal friction generated by the shield cutterhead when cutting through the drainage plate, and the shield machine restart after shutdown. …”
