It is well accepted that the quality of soft clay samples obtained using standard
fixed piston samplers can be relatively poor and that block samples are necessary to
yield very high quality samples. However for many ...
A cost efficient way of investigating shallow sediments and for collecting soils data for many offshore geotechnical problems, e.g. anchoring of floating structures with suction piles or evaluation of submarine slope ...
This paper presents a simple statistical exercise to provide a benchmark for the degree of electoral stagnation without direct officeholder benefits or challenger scare-off effects. Here electoral stagnation arises solely ...
Based on the fuzzy logic principle, a modified Fuzzy Synthetic Evaluation (FSE) is proposed to assess water quality status of Weihe River (Baoji, China). The potential application of the FSE has been tested in a case study. ...
We use three different quality based rankings of the publishing record of Irish based economists in academic journals during the period 1990-2000 and 1995-2000. While individual rankings are sensitive to the range of ...
Guidance is provided for geotechnical engineers designing civil engineering
works in silty soils based on a detailed characterisation of a glaciomarine silt from Os in western Norway. It was found that these soils are ...
This work aims to protect forests in Europe from effects of air pollution, and climate change, and to provide a basis for sustainable management of forest for multiple commercial and societal values. Monitoring of forest ...
Effective DNA extraction methods from bird feathers have facilitated non-invasive sampling, leading to the suggestion that feathers are a great source for genetic studies. However, few studies have assessed whether all ...
Guidance is provided for geotechnical engineers designing civil engineering works in silty
soils. A detailed characterisation of two estuarine silt sites in Ireland is performed and the soil
properties are linked to their ...
A database of research quality CPTU and shear wave velocity
information for Norwegian marine clays has been assembled so as to study the small
strain stiffness relationships for these materials and to examine the potential ...
