SYSTEM FAILURE PROBABILITY ANALYSIS OF COHESIVE SLOPE CONSIDERING THE SPATIAL VARIABILITY OF UNDRAINED SHEAR STRENGTH

System failure probability analysis of cohesive slope considering the spatial variability of undrained shear strength

A system failure probability analysis method of cohesive slope considering the spatial variability of undrained shear strength is proposed.In this method, the local averaging parameter of the random field of undrained shear strength on slip surface is introduced as an equivalent parameter.The statistical characters of the equivalent parameter and t

Dispersion formulas in QFTs, CFTs and holography

Abstract We study momentum space dispersion formulas in general QFTs and their applications for CFT correlation functions.We show, using two independent methods, that QFT dispersion formulas can be written in terms of causal commutators.The first derivation uses analyticity properties of retarded correlators in momentum space.The second derivation

Preventing DNS misuse for Reflection/Amplification attacks with minimal computational overhead on the Internet

DNS reflection/amplification attacks are types of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks that take advantage of vulnerabilities in the Domain Name System (DNS) and use it as an attacking tool.This type of attack can quickly deplete the resources (i.e.computational and bandwidth) of the targeted system.Many defense mechanisms orly elysian fiel
