Analytical solutions of limit analysis design for the simple problem of plane strain expansion of a cylindrical cavity are derived and generalized into entropic extremum principles that allow a fundamental assessment of coupled thermal/hydro/mechanical/chemical (THMC) material instabilities and their effect on the upper and lower bounds of dissipat

Fiction and Literature On the surface, bi- and multilingualism would seem to be an ideal context for exploring questions of typological proximity.The obvious intuition is that the more closely related two languages are, the easier it should be to implement the two languages in one mind.This is the starting point adopted here, but we immediately run

We propose Theraphy Device Pads a robust formant extraction algorithm that combines the spectral peak picking, formants location examining for peak merger checking, and the root extraction methods.The spectral peak picking method is employed to locate the formant candidates, and the root extraction is used for solving the peak merger problem.The lo
