Rainfall induced landslides pose hazards to human safety and economic development in the world. The complex geological environments and variable precipitation lead to difficulties in the assessments of slope stabilities.
For actual rock masses with massive natural cracks, there are three basic fracture modes, including mode.
Each year animal shelters receive, care for, and rehome dogs, cats, and other companion animals. Even under the best of circumstances, however, shelters can be challenging environments for the animals admitted.
The most non-trivial of the established microscopic theories of physics is QCD the theory of the strong interaction. A critical link between theory and experiment is provided by the methods of perturbative QCD, notably the well-known factorization theorems. Giving an accurate account of the concepts, theorems, and their justification, this book is a systematic treatment of perturbative QCD. As …
Heavy ion collision experiments recreating the quark–gluon plasma that filled the microseconds-old Universe have established that it is a nearly perfect liquid that flows with such minimal dissipation that it cannot be seen as made of particles.
The electroweak theory unifies two basic forces of nature the weak force and electromagnetism. This achievement is comparable to Maxwell’s unification of electricity and magnetism. The theory made numerous predictions that have been confirmed by experiments.
The Standard Model of particle physics is the mathematical theory that describes the weak, electromagnetic and strong interactions between leptons and quarks, the basic particles of the Standard Model. The new edition of this introductory graduate textbook provides a concise but accessible introduction to the Standard Model.
