SLOW DEFORMATION WAVES IN THE SEISMIC REGIME AND GEOPHYSICAL FIELDS AT THE NORTHERN MARGIN OF THE AMUR PLATE by S. V. Trofimenko, V. G. Bykov, N. N. Grib

“…In the Baikal and Amur regions (107–140°E), the fronts of deformation waves migrate at a rate of 5–20 km per year [Sherman, 2007, 2013]. Considering the order of magnitude, this rate is comparable to the rates of crust deformation migration from the Japan-Kuril-Kamchatka zone (10–100 km per year). …”

A Review on Biomechanics of Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Materials for Reconstruction by M. Marieswaran, Ishita Jain, Bhavuk Garg, Vijay Sharma, Dinesh Kalyanasundaram

“…The key conclusions of this review are as follows: (a) the highest shear forces on the anterior cruciate ligament occur during hyperextension/low flexion angles of the knee joint; (b) the characterization of the anterior cruciate ligament at variable strain rates is critical to model a viscoelastic behavior; however, studies on human anterior cruciate ligament on variable strain rates are yet to be reported; (c) a significant disparity on maximum stress/strain pattern of the anterior cruciate ligament was observed in the earlier works; (d) nearly all synthetic grafts have been recalled from the market; and (e) bridge-enhanced repair developed by Murray is a promising technique for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, currently in clinical trials. …”

A Data-Driven Analysis of Engineering Contract Risk Characterization Based on Judicial Cases of Disputes by Yongcheng Zhang, Ziyi Wu, Chaohua Xiong, Jianwei Wang, Maxwell Fordjour Antwi-Afari

“…The research identifies contractual risk characteristics across dimensions such as regional distribution, dispute terminology, legal citation patterns, and appellate role transitions. The key findings include the following: (1) Primary risks involve payment disputes, quality assurance failures, contractual validity issues, and schedule compliance challenges. (2) Litigation patterns reveal complex interdependencies between contracting parties and stakeholders, posing significant risk management challenges. (3) High second-instance modification rates stem from procedural irregularities, new evidence, improper legal application, and factual errors in initial trials. …”
