Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a modern, highly accurate, non-invasive study of various eye structures. OCT is a non-contact method that allows a specialist to visualize eye tissue with a very high resolution (1–15 microns), the accuracy of which is comparable to microscopic examination. The theoretical foundations of the OCT method were developed in 1995 by the American ophthalmologist K. Pulafito, and already in 1996–1997 Carl Zeiss Meditec introduced the first device for optical coherence tomography into clinical practice. Today, OCT devices are used to diagnose various diseases of the fundus and anterior segment of the eye. Due to the maximum accuracy, the method of light scanning greatly simplifies the diagnosis of pathologies of the organs of vision, regardless of the cause of their occurrence and the stage of the course. In terms of information content, the technique is not inferior to histology, but the advantage of OCT is the absence of the risk of injury to the eye tissues [1, 2].

A large-scale engineering procurement and construction (EPC) project is often conducted by a joint venture. Many factors affect the success of cooperation among participating enterprises, such as trust and the degree of effort of both parties. The most important one is a rational profit sharing mechanism. Reasonable profit sharing mechanism concerns whether the advantages of the EPC model can be fully utilized. In this study, the proposed EPC project is undertaken by a joint venture integrating design and construction enterprises. Moreover, the profit sharing problem arises from the project optimization implemented by both parties. The fairness concern behavior of both parties is considered, and the profit sharing model for the EPC project is established on the basis of game theory. The effect of the fairness concern behavior of both parties on the EPC project optimization and its profit sharing is further analyzed by simulation analysis. The research findings show that the project optimization profit and its sharing are related to not only the efforts and cost coefficient but also the fairness concern behavior of both parties. The research results are conducive to the application of the EPC model in the field of construction engineering.

Beijing subway Huangzhuang stations is cross-transfer station. It has a complex tunneling structure. The characteristics of the reverse construction vertical well was been thinking in the course of excavation design. The vertical well excavation and support method, horizontal wells channel excavation and support methods, the main station pilot tunnel excavation and support methods were researched to determine in detail. In order to analysis and evaluation the feasibility of excavation and getting into hole, FLAC3D numerical simulation analysis method was applied to do simulation of the vertical well, horizontal channel and the main cavern excavation. All detail construction course of these three-part were been studied. Excavation and supporting method and progress were all included. The ground surface subsidence, deformation of support structure and strengthen structure were been got. On the condition of the vertical well support structure destruction caused by the horizontal guide hole excavation and the group cave effect caused by guiding cave excavation in main station underground building, the support structure and ground soil stability were studied. The research result gave the base technical support for the project optimization design and construction security.

A mineral deposit can be exploited by underground methods or by open pit methods, defined according to their characteristics, especially in relation to depth and geometry of the ore body and the economic feasibility of the methods. However, there are cases in which the alternative that represents the best return for the project is the application of combined methods, i.e., the open pit followed by underground mining. In these situations, the major difficulty is the definition of the transition point of methods, seeking to maximize the net present value of the project and the use of mineral resources. The premature suspension of activities in the open pit, as well as advancing beyond the optimum depth, can derail the implementation of the combination of methods, so it is important to analyze the project not only individually but also in an integrated way.
