Abstract Mining activities worldwide are subject to serious geotechnical accidents involving tailings dams.Therefore, many studies have focused on Heat Tool Gun tailings dewatering before their deposition.This article studies the rheological properties of flocculated and thickened nickel tailings in order to determine the effect of the initial soli
Abstract Background Many animals live in groups.One proposed reason is that grouping allows cooperative food finding.Group foraging models suggest that grouping could increase food finding rates, but that such group processes could be evolutionarily unstable.These models assume discrete food patches which are fully detectable.However, often animals

Reasonable evacuation strategies are important in reducing casualties in the event of a fire.In this work, we conduct a simulation of a fire evacuation of a large public building based on the building information modeling technology to find the Modification best evacuation strategy.We identify the tolerance limit of evacuees in case of a fire as th
