Group Polarization Based on Agent Emotional Characteristics and Credibility by Shuyang Jiang, Hu Wang

“…The results show that group polarization is easier to form when the initial opinions are in a normal distribution, and group polarization will also form under the impact of initial minority agents with extreme opinions. Different network structures will pose different effects on the group opinion evolution, and group polarization is easier to form in the small-world network and BA scale-free network. …”

Dynamic response characteristics of tunnel linings at varied burial depths in landslide systems under seismic loading by Tao Li, Jun Liang, Luo Bo

“…This continuous fatigue effect progressively weakens the stability of the lining structure, ultimately leading to its failure. Therefore, the deformation and damage of the slope under seismic loading pose a serious threat to the safety of tunnel linings, highlighting the need for close attention to their long-term stability. …”

Retrieving 4D landslide displacement using Pléiades satellite stereo pairs on the La Valette landslide by Sheng Fu, Steven M. de Jong, Wiebe Nijland, Mathieu Gravey, Philip Kraaijenbrink, Tjalling de Haas

“…However, traditional field investigations are time- and labor-consuming, which may limit the understanding of the landslide evolution and thereby mitigation. We propose a new 4D landslide displacement framework, combining satellite-based structure-from-motion, cross-correlation feature tracking for horizontal ground-surface deformation measurements with COSI-Corr, and DEM differencing for vertical ground-surface deformation. …”
