Rib Spalling 3D Model for Soft Coal Seam Faces with Large Mining Height in Protective Seam Mining: Theoretical and Numerical Analyses by Shuai Liu, Ke Yang, Tong Zhang, Chunan Tang

“…The results show that the failure is mainly related to the roof load, coal cohesion, internal friction angle, coal seam inclination, and sidewall protecting force. The key to limiting the frictional sliding of a slip body is to reduce the roof load and increase the sliding coefficient and cohesion of the main control weak surface (MCWS). …”

Walking into the wild. A transition to a co-evolutionary landscape by Adriano Dessì

“… This research paper attempts to shift the approach and the possible attitudes of architectural and landscape design towards an interpretation of ecological transition based on the dimension of the ‘wild’, that is, on the possibility that the transformation of places by man contemplates other and the most diverse forms of life, spheres of proximity in which human activities give way to third and fourth natures, which develop their own habitats in an autonomous, dynamic and vital manner. …”

STEAM-ME: A Novel Model for Successful Kaizen Implementation and Sustainable Performance of SMEs in Vietnam by Thanh-Lam Nguyen

“…Thus, this study is aimed at identifying determinants of the successful Kaizen implementation and sustainable performance so that SMEs can have proper actions and prioritize their operations within their available resources. Through a formal survey of 213 participants from 62 SMEs which have been successful in implementing Kaizen and appropriate statistical analyses, seven important determinants have been identified, namely, (1) supports from senior management; (2) training; (3) environment; (4) assessment; (5) motivation; (6) mindset; and (7) engagement of all members in the organization. …”

Orthogonal Latin square theory based group and batch verification for digital signatures by Hong WANG, Chengzhe LAI, Xiangyang LIU, Han ZENG

“…In order to solve the problem of fast security verification of massive and time-intensive messages on a central node in situational awareness networks, orthogonal Latin square theory based scheme was considered.Considering efficiency promotion of security verification of messages, group design of digital signatures based on orthogonal Latin square theory was formulated, batch verification of digital signatures was processed by aggregate signature, then an efficient, parallel and non-adaptive batch verification scheme of digital signatures was proposed in according with multiple processors.Theoretical analysis and simulation results demonstrate that it will be able to identify n digital signatures by approximately <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <msqrt> <mi>n</mi> </msqrt> </math></inline-formula> times given the upper bound d (<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mi>d</mi><mo>≪</mo><mi>n</mi></math></inline-formula>) of invalid digital signatures, together with higher time-efficiency and stronger error-tolerance by comparing with individual testing and binary splitting algorithms especially when multiple processors are available.…”
