On the Location of Multiple Failure Slip Surfaces in Slope Stability Problems Using the Meshless SPH Algorithm by Liang Li, Ming Zhai, Xianzhang Ling, Xuesong Chu, Bin Hu, Yungming Cheng

“…The simultaneous determination of these potential slip surfaces is, however, not trivial. This paper presents a methodology based on the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) approach, which can simultaneously determine multiple failure slip surfaces and the debris flow process without previous knowledge or trial-and-error processes, and this methodology is validated against a slope with the presence of multiple critical slip surfaces. …”

Upstreamness and downstreamness in input–output analysis from local and aggregate information by Silvia Bartolucci, Fabio Caccioli, Francesco Caravelli, Pierpaolo Vivo

“…However, this task is often non-trivial due to the lack of complete and accurate information on the flows of money and goods between sectors and countries, which are encoded in input–output (I–O) tables. …”

Dynamical constraints on pseudo-gauge transformations by Zbigniew Drogosz, Wojciech Florkowski, Mykhailo Hontarenko, Radoslaw Ryblewski

“…However, in a special case of the boost-invariant flow, the STS condition is automatically fulfilled and a non-trivial residual pseudo-gauge transformation defined by a single scalar field is allowed. …”

Exploring confinement in Anti-de Sitter space by Riccardo Ciccone, Fabiana De Cesare, Lorenzo Di Pietro, Marco Serone

“…We compute the anomalous dimensions of the lightest scalar operators in the boundary theory, which are negative for the singlet and positive for non-trivial representations. We also compute the correction to the coefficient C J and we estimate that the singlet operator reaches marginality before the value of the coupling at which C J = 0. …”
