The calculation and analysis of single pile settlement was one of the important geotechnical engineering issues, and many geotechnical engineers and scholars investigated and formed a systematic analysis method. Among the existing methods of analysis methods, the elasticity theory method was relatively mature. However, the traditional elasticity theory method could not consider the slip properties between pile and soil, and did not match the actual working properties of pile foundation. In this paper, based on Mindlin's solution, the pile is assumed to be elastic and the relationship between shear stress and relative displacement at the pile-soil interface is assumed to follow hyperbolic function, then series equations were derived and solved by Finite Difference Method. Two cases were demonstrated and the computed results agreed very well with testing data. The advantage of the analysis method proposed was that the interaction of pile and pile, and pile and soil can be considered.

<p>Machine learning (ML) has brought significant technological innovations in many fields, but it has not been widely embraced by most researchers of natural sciences to date. Traditional understanding and promotion of chemical analysis cannot meet the definition and requirement of big data for running of ML. Over the years, we focused on building a more versatile and low-cost approach to the acquisition of copious amounts of data containing in a chemical reaction. The generated data meet exclusively the thirst of ML when swimming in the vast space of chemical effect. As proof in this study, we carried out a case for acute toxicity test throughout the whole routine, from model building, chip preparation, data collection, and ML training. Such a strategy will probably play an important role in connecting ML with much research in natural science in the future.</p>

The investigations presented in this work were carried out in order to further deepen the knowledge about nitrite pathways in the area of sugar beet extraction. The article consists of two parts with different experimental set-up: the first part focuses on laboratory trials in which the fate of nitrate and nitrite was studied in a so-called mini-fermenter. These trials were carried out using juice from the hot part of the cossette mixer of an Agrana sugar factory in Austria. In the experiments, two common sugar factory disinfectants were used in order to study microbial as well as microbial-chemical effects on nitrite formation and degradation caused by bacteria present in the juice. The trials demonstrated that the direct microbial effect (denitrification) on nitrite degradation is more pronounced than the indirect microbial-chemical effect coming from pH value decrease by these bacteria and subsequent nitrite loss. The second part describes the findings from laboratory experiments and full scale factory trials using a mobile laboratory set-up based on insulated stainless steel containers and spectrophotometric detection of nitrite in various factory juices. The trials were made at two Nordzucker factories located in Finland (factory A) and Sweden (factory B). The inhibiting effect of the two common sugar factory disinfectants on nitrite formation was evaluated in laboratory trials, whereas the full scale trials focused on one disinfectant. Other trials to evaluate potential contamination sources of thermophilic nitrite producing bacteria to the extraction system, reactivation of nitrite producing bacteria in raw juice and the effect of a pH gradient on bacterial nitrite activity in cossette mixer juice are also reported.

The progress made in dentistry during the latest decades is due, conceptually, to the new, systemic vision of man, which has also taken place in this field of medicine. In this context, the link between organic and psychic is indestructible. Thus illness is understood as a drama in which the somatic process has a psychic value, and the mental one has a body value. It is known that the morphological and functional integrity of the dental system, health and vigorousness, gives the individual a state of well-being that affects his somatic and psychic health, as any disturbance at this level entails repercussions in psychological and social behavior. Such a disruption is the total edification that seriously alters not only the dental system but the whole organism, putting various biological and psychosocial problems to the practitioner. The total expression represents not only a physical disability but also a psychological one. A special importance in studying psychological changes at total edentulous presents the psychological aspects of senile involution. This is not only a theoretical but also a practical importance due to the increase in the number of elderly people. Through the researches of the present paper we intend to present the reality of the psychological manifestations in the total edentation, which is objectified on different methods of psychodiagnosis in the first part, in order for the second part to be addressed to problems of prosthetic psychotherapy.The study comprises a group of 43 patients, of whom 24 were men and 19 women with total uni or bimaxilar edentation. Total edentation can be and is responsible for somatopsychic alterations, along with other pathogens, general, local, social, which sometimes can take a dramatic form, converting, where the area is also favorable, a pure somatic disease, for those who are not in psychopathy or even psychosis, although these latter cases are extremely rare and especially in youngsters, which would disrupt not only the person�s behavior as an individual, but also their status, function and social integrity. The treatment of dental and psychological complex is mandatory for any patient, but especially for the elderly, where recovery is more difficult, with disease-specific disorders adding to those of senescence.

This study was conducted in order to investigate when low-calcium fly ash plays a physical or chemical effect and what is the chemical effect proportion of low-calcium fly ash. Two types of low-calcium fly ash and quartz powder, with similar fineness as active and inert admixtures, were used as materials in this study. Under different water/binder ratios and hydration ages, the effects of the different types of admixtures and their dosages on the flexural and compressive strength of the composites were studied. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and nitrogen adsorption methods, in addition to an assessment of the degree of hydration of the fly ash, were employed to observe the hydration products at different ages, the microstructures of the hydration products, as well as their surface areas and pore size distributions. The results show that during the hydration period of 28 days, the low-calcium fly ash has a micro-aggregate filling physical effect. However, after 56 days, the hydration degree of fly ash begins to exceed 1%. This illustrates that the low-calcium fly ash has both the pozzolanic activity effect and micro-aggregate filling effect. In contrast, the low-calcium fly ash hydrated for 90 days is still dominated by the physical filling effect.
