Functions of the stomach are storage, mixing and emptying of gastric contents. Among these functions, we focus on the gastric mixing. The stomach shows an antral contraction wave (ACW) that propagates from the proximal antrum to the pylorus. Previous studies using high-resolution concurrent manometry and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have suggested that the ACW plays an important role in the gastric mixing. However it is difficult to observe in vivo intragastric fluid motion in detail.

Environmental criteria have become a critical issue for the evaluation of projects and products, particularly for businesses with extensive life cycles. Sustainability criteria and project risk management are underexplored in real estate development, and thus endanger business survival. The aim of this article is to improve the understanding of uncertainties in the real estate industry by using a stochastic risk assessment approach and to broaden the risk assessment methodology. Thus, this article investigates the importance of material selection regarding external and project risk for real estate development. Aside from conventional projects, risks are analyzed for projects with high-quality materials (HQMs) that are characterized by environmental benefits. In following a mixed method approach, we began by conducting interviews with developers about the most important risks, and later incorporating these factors into a stochastic cash-flow model. Finally, we illustrated our findings in a case study. Overall, the highest risks were shown from resource prices and changing regulations, while the rankings of the two materials differ slightly; HQMs rank higher on the created risk index than conventional materials. The cash-flow model shows that conventional materials perform slightly better than HQMs, although uncertainties within the calculations are similar. The article contributes to risk management and decision-making for real estate projects by providing insights into the discussion and analysis of the financial performance of sustainable construction material and design that might be crucial for disruptive innovations. We present a model that integrates environmental and long-term effects in the cash-flow evaluation of real estate projects, thereby increasing managerial flexibility.

SUMMARY The current contribution presents a new sinkage sensor specified for an unmanned ground vehicle to find the exact sinkage zone of a wheel interacting with the soil particles. This sensor will be wrapped around the wheel, and consequently, contact analog outputs will be used in soil deposition and bulldozing effect prediction. Furthermore, the new sensor will be used for a novel soil flow calculation estimating the total mass variation of the control volume of soil particles beneath the wheel. Accordingly, the spiral model simulating the displacement of the particle is implemented to calculate the soil deposition.
