The effect of intermediate stress (in situ tunnel axial) on a strainburst is studied with a three-dimensional (3D) bonded block distinct element method (DEM).A series of simulations of strainbursts under true triaxial in situ stress conditions (i.e.high tangential stress, moderate intermediate stress and low radial stress) of near-boundary rock mas

To prevent or control wound infection is particularly important for the healing of common infectious wounds.In order to avoid bacterial resistance caused by traditional antibiotic therapy, this study developed a gelatin photocrosslinked hydrogel wrapped with graphene oxide quantum dots (GOQDs, GPH) that has photothermal antibacterial properties and

A series of freezing experiments were carried out on the Qinghai silty clay using a one-dimensional soil column particle image velocimetry (PIV) system.The effects of the initial water content and temperature gradient on the frost heave of the soil column were analysed.The experimental results show that the total volumetric water content after Wate

Blockchain has become particularly popular due to its promise to support business-critical services in very different domains (e.g., retail, healthcare).Blockchain systems rely on complex middleware, like Ethereum or Hyperledger Fabric, that allow running smart contracts, which specify business logic in cooperative applications.The presence of soft
