Rainfall threshold for initiating effective stress decrease and failure in weathered tephra slopesRainfall is one of the most important triggers of slope failure. Weathered pyroclastic (tephra) deposits are esp
Being able to predict this transitional effective stress with electrical measurements may be cardinal and useful in our quest to use non-invasive methods in the assessment and monitoring of potential instability conditions in the earth subsurface....
To pay off debt, you need to know how much you owe, how much you’re spending and where you can cut costs. The debt avalanche and snowball methods are popular debt repayment strategies. A debt consolidation loan can combine your debts into one loan with one interest rate and payment....
Having uplifting and optimistic quotations, or affirmative thoughts around, where you can see them regularly, can be one of the quickest ways to decrease your pessimism and increase your positivity. Have those positive slogans as a background for your computer screen, post them on your refrigerator...
Moreover, the permeability significantly decreases when the effective stress increases from 2 MPa to 12 MPa, and decreases slowly for effective stress greater than 12 MPa. The nonlinear deformation of the microcracks results in a significant permeability decrease at low effective stress level (Zheng ...
stress acting on the fault and the rupture velocity observed. Considering that Ω is not a function of the initial stress, the rupture velocity is expected to decrease with increasing fluid pressure (Methods section, Eq. (10)) or with decreasing initial stress acting on the fault (\({\bar{...
Setting goals clarifies what needs to be done. You know where to focus your attention and effort while avoiding distractions. This clarity encourages you to put in more effort and seek out or develop new strategies for success. You apply what you know innovatively and learn new methods. Reachin...
These projects encouraged teachers to engage in reflective dialogue about their teaching methods and explore new ways to connect different subjects. By working together, teachers were able to create a more cohesive and interdisciplinary learning environment for students, promoting a culture of ...
