Study on Supporting Protection of Tunnel Opening near a Rock Layer under Elastic Deformation of Surrounding Rock by Zhigang Jia, Yongsong Li

“…Due to the limitation of geological conditions and route alignment, tunnel engineering will inevitably pass through special sections such as shallow buried section, broken rock layer, and loss and weak rock stratum. Tunnel construction in these special sections will easily lead to tunnel collapse, landslide of portal slope, excessive deformation of supporting structure, and even deformation and damage accidents, which are high-incidence areas of engineering safety accidents. …”

Estimation of Finite Population Mean in Multivariate Stratified Sampling under Cost Function Using Goal Programming by Atta Ullah, Javid Shabbir, Zawar Hussain, Bander Al-Zahrani

“…In many real life situations, a linear cost function of a sample size nh is not a good approximation to actual cost of sample survey when traveling cost between selected units in a stratum is significant. In this paper, sample allocation problem in multivariate stratified random sampling with proposed cost function is formulated in integer nonlinear multiobjective mathematical programming. …”

Indigenous cultures in the era of globalisation by Nnamdi Tobechukwu Ekeanyanwu

“…Their argument is based on Schiller’s debatable notion that a society is brought into a modern world system when its dominating stratum is attracted, pressured, forced, cajoled and sometimes bribed into accepting its traditional system and values as inferior, outdated and mundane; and shaping such system and values to correspond to, or even promote, the values and structures of the dominating centre of the system. …”
