Numerical modelling of the application of capillary barrier systems for prevention of rainfall-induced slope instability     

Scarfone  Riccardo  Wheeler  Simon J.  Smith  Colin C. 《Acta Geotechnica》2023,18(1):355-378

Acta Geotechnica - The most common cause of slope instability is intense or sustained rainfall, which may induce reduction in soil suction, and thus, shear strength. Capillary barrier systems...  相似文献

Acta Geotechnica - At high values of degree of saturation, the apparent soil water retention curve (SWRC) measured in a wetting test in the laboratory may differ from the true SWRC, because of the...  相似文献   

Analytical predictions of non-Gaussian distribution parameters for stellar plasmas     

A. M. Scarfone  P. Quarati  G. Mezzorani  M. Lissia 《Astrophysics and Space Science》2008,315(1-4):353-359

Stimulated by the recent debate on the physical relevance and on the predictivity of q-Gaussian formalism, we present specific analytical expressions for the parameters characterizing non-Gaussian distributions, such as the nonextensive parameter q, expressions that we have proposed for different physical systems, an important example being plasmas in the stellar cores.  相似文献
