Evaluation of Undrained Bearing Capacities of Wide-Shallow Bucket Foundation with Honeycomb Bulkheads in Clay by Qingshan Wang, Xun Han, Yunfei Guan, Yongyong Cao, Wenxuan Li

“…The results show that under uniaxial loading, the uniaxial bearing capacities of the wide-shallow bucket foundation are basically unaffected by the honeycomb bulkheads in homogeneous clay. For nonhomogeneous clay, the moment bearing capacity will be considerably enhanced with the increase in soil shear strength heterogeneity. …”

Probing Cosmic Isotropy with the FAST All Sky H i Survey by Yi-Wen Wu, Jun-Qing Xia

“…We apply the Markov Chain Monte Carlo method to fit these 2PACFs with a power-law model and assess the statistical significance of the best-fit parameters for the 10 FASHI sky regions by comparing them against results from mock catalogs generated under the assumptions of homogeneity and isotropy. Our findings indicate that the local Universe, as traced by the H i sources in the FASHI survey, aligns with the cosmic isotropy hypothesis within a 2 σ confidence level. …”

First-Principles-Based Structural and Mechanical Properties of Al₃Ni Under High Pressure by Chuncai Xiao, Baiyuan Yang, Zhangli Lai, Zhiquan Chen, Huaiyang Yang, Hui Wang, Yunzhi Zhou, Xianshi Zeng

“…Moreover, through analysis of Poisson’s ratio, the anisotropy factor, and the sound velocity, we ascertained that pressure attenuates the anisotropic attributes of the material, and Al₃Ni exhibits more pronounced isotropic characteristics and mechanical homogeneity under high-pressure conditions. The substantial increase in the Debye temperature further suggests that high pressure fortifies the lattice dynamic rigidity of the material. …”
