The basic equations used to study the fluid diffusion in porous media have been set by Fick and Darcy in the mid of the XIXth century but some data on the flow of fluids in rocks exhibit properties which may not be interpreted with the classical theory of propagation of pressure and fluids in porous media (Bell and Nur, 1978; Roeloffs, 1988).Concer
Abstract Twin boundaries (TBs) have been observed in and introduced into nonmetallic materials in recent years, which brought new concepts for the design of new structural materials.However, the roles of TB on the mechanical properties and strengthening/softening of transition metal nitrides remain unclear.To investigate the TB effects and the in-p
Abstract In modern cattle farm management systems, video-based monitoring has become important in analyzing the high-level behavior of cattle for monitoring their health and predicting calving for providing timely assistance.Conventionally, sensors have been used for detecting and tracking their activities.As the body-attached sensors cause stress,
