Improved in-situ direct shear test of rock mass structural plane and its application to stability analysis of bedding slope by Zhiming Wang, Changguang Qi, Zhichao Zhang, Rufa Huang, Chaoxu Guo, Lijin Dong, Rongyue Zheng

“…It solves the problem that the previous in-situ direct shear test is too complicated and has poor applicability, and it can obtain the shear strength parameters of rock structural plane more accurately and conveniently. Hence, it provides a more reasonable parameter selection basis for the evaluation and support design of bedding rocky slope.…”

Exploring the possibility of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and fulleranes as the carrier of the 21 micron emission feature by Xuan-Xiang Liao, Yong Zhang, Yong Zhang, SeyedAbdolreza Sadjadi

“…A dozen of different molecular species (both organics and inorganics) have been proposed as the carrier candidates of this important feature, among which polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and fulleranes (hydrogenated fullerenes) have yet to be sufficiently examined.MethodIn this study, we attempt to fit the 21 μm features in observed spectra of the above-mentioned astronomical sources via theoretically simulated spectra of various PAHs and fulleranes, aiming to investigate whether the two hydrocarbon families can reproduce the 21 μm feature.Results and DiscussionBased on the fitting outcomes we conclude that fulleranes can provide a more plausible explanation for the origin of 21 μm feature than PAHs.…”
