NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF RAINFALL-INDUCED LANDSLIDE IN MUDSTONE USING COUPLED FINITE AND DISCRETE ELEMENT ANALYSIS

Numerical Investigation of Rainfall-Induced Landslide in Mudstone Using Coupled Finite and Discrete Element Analysis

In this study, the role of water infiltration on a rainfall-induced landslide in mudstone is investigated.Finite element analysis (FEA) and discrete element analysis (DEA) were employed to explore the driving mechanism in the prefailure regime and the dynamic runout process in the postfailure regime, respectively.The driving mechanism was revealed

Adsorption and desorption of Hg(II) by four aged microplastics and its effects on gaseous elemental mercury production in seawater

Microplastics (MPs) weather after entering the environment gradually, and the interaction with metal ions in the aqueous environment has received extensive attention.However, there are few studies on Hg(Ⅱ), especially the effect of MPs on the release of Hg0(DEM) in water after entering the aqueous environment.In this study, four types of MPs (PP,

Thalamocortical connectivity is associated with autism symptoms in high-functioning adults with autism and typically developing adults

Abstract Alterations in sensorimotor functions are common in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).Such aberrations suggest the involvement of the thalamus due to its key role in modulating sensorimotor signaling in the cortex.Although previous research has linked atypical thalamocortical connectivity with ASD, investigations of this asso
