An Impact-Echo Experimental Approach for Detecting Concrete Structural Faults by Ya-xun Yang, Wen-hao Chai, De-chuang Liu, Wei-de Zhang, Jia-cheng Lu, Zhi-kui Yang

“…Firstly, the ABAQUS finite element software was used to simulate these factors to obtain the influence law on the detection results, and a modal test was conducted to verify them. The results show that the impact-echo method can effectively test the location of defects and the degree of burial depth, and the pipe material influences the test results, and the impact of corrugated metal pipe is smaller and more accurate than the PVC pipe. …”

Design and Application of Uniaxially Sensitive Stress Sensor by Kaituo Wu, Zixun Xiang, Xinbo Lu, Yichao Yan, Chunyang Wu, Tao Wang, Wanli Zhang

“…With the aid of a Wheatstone bridge, the sensor can measure the uniaxial stress magnitude by simple calibration of the stress against the output voltage and detect the bidirectional stress magnitude and direction in a micro-zone by simple rotation. The theoretical sensitivity obtained from simulation is 0.087 mV/V·MPa when the X-bridge is stressed in the X-direction under 1 V of excitation, and the test sensitivity of the X-bridge prepared in this paper is 0.1 mV/V·MPa. …”

Rereading of asian cuisine: bullfrog meat (Aquarana catesbeiana) enriching the flavor and nutritional value by José Teixeira de Seixas Filho, Laura Kiyoko Ide

“…Frog meat also has excellent gourmet characteristics, in addition to being considered a food alternative for nutritional therapy with increased immune system response. The present work aimed to present ways of introducing frog meat into Asian cuisine, aiming to expand its enjoyment, mainly by people with food allergies to proteins of animal origin, as well as offering a healthy diet with low cholesterol and, finally, develop menus that make full use of the bullfrog carcass, with gastronomic and therapeutic recipes.…”

Cauchy–Logistic Unit Distribution: Properties and Application in Modeling Data Extremes by Vladica S. Stojanović, Tanja Jovanović Spasojević, Radica Bojičić, Brankica Pažun, Zlatko Langović

“…In this way, according to the well-known properties of the Cauchy distribution, a unit random variable with significantly accentuated values at the ends of the unit interval is obtained. Therefore, the proposed stochastic distribution, named the Cauchy–logistic unit distribution, represents a stochastic model that may be suitable for modeling phenomena and processes with emphasized extreme values. …”

Analysis of Floods in Xijiang River and Beijiang River Based on Copula Function by REN Chengjun

“…It is of great significance to analyze the flood situation of the Xijiang River and Beijiang River for peak shifting regulation of reservoirs in the basin and flood control and disaster reduction in the Pearl River Delta.Therefore,Gamma distribution and Von Mises distribution are used to fit the flood magnitude and occurrence time of annual maximum flood,respectively.The Copula function is used to construct a joint distribution of floods in Xijiang River and Beijiang River,and the possibility of floods in Xijiang River and Beijiang River is analyzed.The results show that the probability of simultaneous occurrence of major floods in Xijiang River and Beijiang River is extremely small.When Shijiao Station in Beijiang River experiences floods at a level of 5,10,20,50,100,and 200 a,respectively,the probability of occurrence of floods with the same frequency in Gaoyao Station Xijiang River is 0.345 0,0.200 3,0.108 5,0.046 6,0.023 7,and 0.012 0,respectively.The probability of floods in the two rivers is the highest in early June.As the flood magnitude increases,the risk of flood occurrence decreases.The probability of floods at a level of 5 a in the two rivers in early June is 1.32×10^-3,and that of floods at a level of 200 a is only 1.17×10^-6.…”
