Rainfall-Induced Soil Slope Failure: Stability Analysis and Probabilistic Assessment

Rainfall-induced landslides are common around the world. With global climate change, their frequency is increasing and the consequences are becoming greater. Previous studies assess them mostly from the perspective of a single discipline―correlating landslides with rainstorms, geomorphology and hydrology in order to establish a threshold prediction value for rainfall-induced landslides; analyzing the slope’s stability using a geomechanical approach; or assessing the risk from field records. Rainfall Induced Soil Slope Failure: Stability Analysis and Probabilistic Assessment integrates probabilistic approaches with the geotechnical modeling of slope failures under rainfall conditions with unsaturated soil. It covers theoretical models of rainfall infiltration and stability analysis, reliability analysis based on coupled hydro-mechanical modelling, stability of slopes with cracks, gravels and spatial heterogenous soils, and probabilistic model calibration based on measurement. It focuses on the uncertainties involved with rainfall-induced landslides and presents state-of-the art techniques and methods which characterize the uncertainties and quantify the probabilities and risk of rainfall-induced landslide hazards. Additionally, the authors cover: <ul>
<li>The failure mechanisms of rainfall-induced slope failure</li> <li>Commonly used infiltration and stability methods</li> <li>The infiltration and stability of natural soil slopes with cracks and colluvium materials</li> <li>Stability evaluation methods based on probabilistic approaches</li> <li>The effect of spatial variability on unsaturated soil slopes and more</li> </ul>

Rubber products are widely used in all aspects of oil and gas drilling and production, which play an important role in oil and gas development. The performances of rubber products determine the safe and efficient development of oil and gas. In this book, rubber experiment and the constitutive model have been introduced. The rubber sealing ring, metal-rubber sealing structure, stator rubber of PDM, wellhead BOP and downhole rubber packer have been investigated. The mechanical properties and sealing properties of rubber structures have been studied. These contents can provide a basis for the design, manufacture and maintenance of rubber structures.

This book provides an in-depth guide to femtocell technologies In this book, the authors provide a comprehensive and organized explanation of the femtocell concepts, architecture, air interface technologies, and challenging issues arising from the deployment of femtocells, such as interference, mobility management and self-organization. The book details a system level simulation based methodology addressing the key concerns of femtocell deployment such as interference between femto and macrocells, and the performance of both femto and macrocell layers. In addition, key research topics in interference modeling and mitigation, mobility management and Self-Organizing Network (SON) are highlighted. The authors also introduce HNB/HeNB standardization in 3GPP.. Furthermore, access methods (closed, open and hybrid), applications, timing synchronization, health issues, business models and security are discussed. The authors also provide a comparison between femtocells and other indoor coverage techniques such as picocells, repeaters, distributed antenna systems and radio over fiber. Lastly, both CDMA and OFDMA based femtocells are covered. Key Features: <ul>
<li>Provides a comprehensive reference on femtocells and related topics</li> <li>Offers the latest research results on femtocells based on simulation and measurements</li> <li>Gives an overview of indoor coverage techniques such as picocells, repeaters, distributed antenna systems, radio over fiber and femtocells</li> <li>Includes chapters on femtocell access network architecture, air interface technologies (GSM, UMTS, HSPA, WiMAX and LTE), femtocell simulation, interference analysis and mitigation in femto/macrocell networks, mobility management in femto/macrocell networks, femtocell self-organization and other key challenges such as timing synchronization and security faced by femtocell deployment</li> <li>Points to over 240 references from 3GPP, The Femto Forum, journals and conference proceedings</li> </ul>
This book will be an invaluable guide for RF engineers from operators, R&amp;D engineers from femtocells hardware manufacturers, employees from regulatory bodies, radio network planners, academics and researchers from universities and research organizations. Students undertaking wireless communications courses will also find this book insightful.

Party tyranny and nepotism, sexual hypocrisy and other evils bring unhappiness to the lives of ordinary people in a collection of stories by one of China's most popular authors

As Long As Nothing Happens, Nothing Will

"The horrors of the Chinese cultural revolution linger in the memories and lives of Zhang Jie's characters in this engrossing collection of six short stories and a novella. Though these are stories of often painful lives, they also remind us of the powers of love, commitment, and endurance. One of China's most popular-and controversial-authors." -NEWSWEEK
