Abstract: The ERA5 new generation of high-resolution reanalysis provides a possibility to obtain more accurate cyclone tracks in the Southern Ocean. With a commonly used cyclone tracking algorithm, this study evaluates the impact ...

Abstract: This research proposes a more accurate model for assessing stakeholder-related risks by integrated analyses of risk attributes and stakeholder influences from a theoretical perspective. In the proposed model, there are ...

Abstract: The Horqin Sandy Land is a typical desertification region in China, which is beset with ecological and environmental problems that affect economic and social development. Hence, the hydrological impact factors (underground ...

Abstract: Due to the excellent mechanical properties of ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC), the shear strength of stud–UHPC composite connections is significantly enhanced. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanism remains not fully ...
