The unprecedented rate of metro construction has led to a highly complex network of metro lines.Tunnels are being overlapped to an ever-increasing degree.This paper investigates the deformation response of double-track overlapped tunnels in Tianjin, China using finite element analysis (FEA) and LUO-COLOR field monitoring, considering the attributes
A synthesis of thermokarst lake water balance in high-latitude regions of North America from isotope tracers
Numerous studies utilizing remote sensing imagery and other methods have documented that thermokarst lakes are undergoing varied hydrological transitions in response to recent climate changes, from surface area expansion to drainage and evaporative desiccation.Here, we provide a synthesis of hydrological conditions for 376 lakes of mainly thermokar
DAMPs from death to new life
Our body handles tissue damage by activating the immune system in response to intracellularmolecules released by injured tissues (Damage-Associated Molecular Patterns, DAMPs), in a similar way as it detects molecular motifs conserved in pathogens (pathogen-associated molecular patterns, PAMPs).DAMPs are molecules that have a physiological role insi
Construction Claim Types and Causes for a Large-Scale Hydropower Project in Bhutan
Hydropower construction projects are complex and uncertain, have long gestational periods and involve several parties.Furthermore, they require the integration of different components (Civil, Mechanical and Electrical) to work together as a single unit.These projects require highly specialised designs, detailed plans and specifications, high-risk c
