Tailings storage facilities (TSFs) are being built globally for containing the chief solid waste stream from mining industry.Catastrophic TSF breach accidents have occurred frequently since the beginning of the 21st century, causing severe impacts on the environment, economy and community safety.The recent example is the 2019 Brumadinho accident in
Finite Element Modelling and Simulation of Tunnel Gates of Dam Structures in ABAQUS Using Reduced-Integrated 8-Node Hexahedral Solid-Shell Element
Tunnel gates used for water regulation are very important and critical parts of dam safety.This is because they are exposed to the hydrostatic pressure of the total height of the water in the reservoir.In this case study, a nonlinear finite element modelling and simulation of the diversion tunnel gate of the Gokdere Bridge Dam in Adana, Pants Turke
M2C-GVIO: motion manifold constraint aided GNSS-visual-inertial odometry for ground vehicles
Abstract Visual-Inertial Odometry (VIO) has been developed from Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) as a low-cost and versatile sensor fusion approach and attracted increasing attention in ground vehicle positioning.However, VIOs usually have the degraded performance in challenging environments and degenerated motion scenarios.In this pape
Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection with intact atrial septum in a child with ventricular septal defect: a case report
Partial anomalous pulmonary vein connection (PAPVC) is a rare congenital abnormal cardiac defect involving the pulmonary veins draining into the right atrium (RA) directly or indirectly by venous connection.Ninety percent of PAPVCs are accompanied by atrial septal defect (ASD).To our knowledge, there is no previous report 3 Ball Rollers of PAPVC wi
