This paper aims to investigate the dynamic response characteristics of subway station under earthquakes. To this end, seismic waves are transformed into equivalent nodal loads on viscoelastic artificial boundaries using theories and methods of wave motion. The calculation formulas for equivalent nodal loads of SV waves incident at any angle are established, and ANSYS' APDL program compiles to automatically generate the viscoelastic artificial boundary and input the seismic loads. A finite element model of soil-subway station interaction was established, and the seismic response characteristics of a two-story three-span subway station under different incidence angles of SV waves were investigated using the above seismic input method...

Consumption of rice-based foods provides essential nutrients required for infants and toddlers' growth. However, they could contain toxic and excess essential elements that may affect human health. The study aims to determine the composition of rice-based baby foods in the USA and outside and conduct a multiple-life stages probabilistic exposure and risk assessment of toxic and essential elements in children. Elemental concentrations were measured using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) in thirty-three rice-based baby foods...

Using e^{+}e^{-} collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 7.33 fb^{-1} recorded by the BESIII detector at center-of-mass energies between 4.128 and 4.226 GeV, we present an analysis of the decay D_{s}^{+}→π^{+}π^{-}e^{+}ν_{e}, where the D_{s}^{+} is produced via the process e^{+}e^{-}→D_{s}^{*±}D_{s}^{∓}. We observe the f_{0}(980) in the π^{+}π^{-} system and the branching fraction of the decay D_{s}^{+}→f_{0}(980)e^{+}ν_{e} with f_{0}(980)→π^{+}π^{-} measured to be (1...

To reflect both fuzziness and hesitation in the evaluation of interactivity between attributes in the identification process of 2-order additive fuzzy measure, this work uses the hesitant fuzzy linguistic term set (HFLTS) to describe and depict the interactivity between attributes. Firstly, the interactivity between attributes is defined by the supermodular game theory. According to this definition, a linguistic term set is established to characterize the interactivity between attributes. Under the linguistic term set, the experts employ linguistic expressions generated by context-free grammar to qualitatively describe the interactivity between attributes...

The paper concerns the numerical modelling of a new slim-floor system with innovative steel-concrete composite beams called "hybrid beams". Hybrid beams consist of a high-strength TT inverted cross-section steel profile and a concrete core made of high-performance concrete and are jointed with prestressed hollow core slabs by infill concrete and tie reinforcement. Such systems are gaining popularity since they allow the integration of the main structural members within the ceiling depth, shorten the execution time, and reduce the use of concrete and steel...

Fragility fractures, which are more prevalent in women, may be significantly influenced by autophagy due to altered bone turnover. As an essential mediator of autophagy, Beclin-1 modulates bone homeostasis by regulating osteoclast and chondrocyte differentiation, however, the alteration in the local bone mechanical environment in female Beclin-1+/- mice remains unclear. In this study, our aim is to investigate the biomechanical behavior of femurs from seven-month-old female wild-type (WT) and Beclin-1+/- mice under peak physiological load, using finite element analysis on micro-CT images...

Based on the macroscopic structure control theory, The slate with a significant bedding plane is a composite rock mass composed of rock blocks containing microscopic defects, joint surface closure elements, and shear deformation elements. Considering the coupling damage effect of water erosion and triaxial compressive load on bedding structure plane, the transversely isotropic damage constitutive model of slate under triaxial compressive load is derived with the dip angle of bedding and confining pressure as the variable...

Concrete-filled steel tube columns (CFSTCs) are important elements in the construction sector and predictive analysis of their behavior is essential. Recent works have revealed the potential of metaheuristic-assisted approximators for this purpose. The main idea of this paper, therefore, is to introduce a novel integrative model for appraising the axial compression capacity (Pu ) of CFSTCs. The proposed model represents an artificial neural network (ANN) supervised by satin bowerbird optimizer (SBO). In other words, this metaheuristic algorithm trains the ANN optimally to find the best contribution of input parameters to the Pu ...

Analyzing the stability of footings is a significant step in civil/geotechnical engineering projects. In this work, two novel predictive tools are suggested based on an artificial neural network (ANN) to analyze the bearing capacity of a footing installed on a two-layered soil mass. To this end, backtracking search algorithm (BSA) and equilibrium optimizer (EO) are employed to train the ANN for approximating the stability value (SV) of the system. After executing a set of finite element analyses, the settlement values lower/higher than 5 cm are considered to indicate the stability/failure of the system...

Currently, there is increasing concern about the safety and leakage of process industries. Therefore, the present study aims to prioritize control measures before and after the leakage scenario by using the Hendershot theory and MCDM techniques. In this study, two proactive and reactive layers were selected before and after leakage of tanks, respectively. Then, criteria and alternatives were selected to perform fuzzy TOPSIS (FTOPSIS) and find the best alternative based on the literature review and Hendershot approach...

The prospect of creating ferroelectric or high permittivity nanomaterials provides motivation for investigating complex transition metal oxides of the form Ba(Ti, MV)O3, where M = Nb or Ta. Solid state processing typically produces mixtures of crystalline phases, rarely beyond minimally doped Nb/Ta. Using a modified sol-gel method, we prepared single phase nanocrystals of Ba(Ti, M)O3. Compositional and elemental analysis puts the empirical formulas close to BaTi0.5Nb0.5O3-δ and BaTi0.5Ta0.5O3-δ...

Shale gas reservoir fluid flow is characterized by complex interactions between a number of variables, including stress sensitivity, matrix shrinkage, and critical desorption pressure. The behavior and productivity of shale gas reservoirs are significantly influenced by these variables. Therefore, in this study, an in-house finite element poro-elastic simulator was integrated with an in-house Fortran-coded artificial neural network model for accurate estimation of free and absorbed gas volumes in shale gas reservoirs, taking into account the combined effects of stress sensitivity, matrix shrinkage, and critical desorption pressure...

Existing databases containing measurements of crack width and spacing are usually limited in size and based on isolated experimental studies. These databases are used to develop new formulas to describe crack patterns in concrete structures. A database obtained from multiple sources of experimental programmes is required to quantify the accuracy of those formulas. To this end, a database containing crack width and crack spacing measurements was created, based on 30 different experimental programs described in literature...

A total of 30 enteral formulas, 23 parenteral solution components, and 3 parenteral solutions were analyzed.

DGet! is an open-source analysis package written in Python for calculating the degree of deuterium enrichment in isotopically labelled molecules using mass spectrometric data. The nuclear properties of deuterium make it a valuable tracer in metabolic studies and an excellent contrast agent in nuclear spectroscopies. Determination of molecular deuteration levels is typically performed using mass spectrometry, however software options to perform these calculations are scarce. The in-house scripts and spreadsheets currently used rarely account for isotopic interferences from 13 C or multi-isotopic elements that impact deuteration calculations...

Dissolved organic matter (DOM), a ubiquitous and active ingredient, is extensively involved in the transformation and migration of environmental pollutants in aquatic ecosystems. However, its chemical composition in acid mine drainage (AMD)-impacted rivers remains poorly characterized, hindering our understanding of its role in the biogeochemistry of key elements in contaminated fluvial environments. Here, we investigated the concentration of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and spectroscopic and molecular characteristics of DOM in a headwater river contaminated with polymetallic mine-derived AMD in southern China...
