Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFabric Behavior of Sand in Post-liquefactionSeyed Amirodin SadrnejadAn anisotropic plasticity model for post-liquefaction of the undrained behavior of sand is presented. The model incorporates the critical/steady state concept that postulates the existence of a state where sand continuously deforms at a certain constant effective stress depending two main parameters of both initial bulk parameters (void ratio or relative density) and the stress level (mean stress). The local … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,409 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrice-Taking in General EquilibriumMurray C. KempThe Arrow-Debreu and McKenzie existence propositions of 1954 rest on the assumption of price-taking behaviour by households and firms. No attempt was made to justify the assumption or to relate it to other assumptions. It is here suggested that, given other assumptions common to the Arrow-Debreu and McKenzie models, price-taking implies that each household is incompletely informed and/or incompletely rational. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 13 · 22 Dec 2005 · 7,717 accessesView PDF Cite

Case ReportOpen accessAll words, across the recordSteady State Groundwater Flow Modeling of an Ex-Landfill Site in Kuala Lumpur, MalaysiaMustapha Atta, Wan Zuhairi Wan Yaacob, Othman Bin JaafarEffective and rational management of groundwater resources require adequate information on the groundwater flow interactions with surface water and chemical species in the flow regime. The hydrologic conditions beneath the unlined ex- landfill site in Jinjang Kuala Lumpur were investigated to understand the groundwater flow and geochemical setting in which contaminants transport in the groundwater may occur in the ex-landfill. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 5 · 30 Oct 2015 · 8,092 accessesView PDF Cite
