Geophysical methods are widely used for void detection in an effort to non-invasively image subsurface cavities, and other subsidence features relevant to engineering, geotechnical, and environmental considerations. Voids can occur in numerous forms and dimensions with differing causal effects, including:
After heating to 300 degrees C, the oxide reduces to NbO and the surplus subsurface oxygen gets dissolved into the bulk. Our approach can be applied for further investigation of the effect of subsurface interstitial oxygen on the performance of niobium rf cavities. (C) 2008 American Institute of Physics.

Subsurface damages and surface roughness are the two significant parameters which determine the efficiency of optical components. In this study, a cup diamond wheel is used in grinding process of the specimens made of Zerodur ® glass–ceramic, to investigate the influences of grinding parameters on the SSD and SR. The grinding …
Mining-induced surface deformation disrupts ecological balance and impedes economic progress. This study employs SBAS-InSAR with 107-view of ascending and descending SAR data from Sentinel-1, spanning February 2017 to September 2020, to monitor surface deformation in the Fa'er Coal Mine, Guizhou Province. Analysis on the surface deformation …
The wafer was then rinsed in deionized water and dried in a nitrogen environment. PECVD silicon carbide and carbide films were deposited in a high frequency parallel-plate plasma reactor in which the frequency, the RF power and the substrate temperature were maintained at 13.56 MHz, 0.06 Wcm −2, and 350 °C, respectively.
Seismic surveys utilizing the MD-1 have been performed by Geophysical Specialties Company since 1957 in many parts of the, U. S. and Canada and in several foreign countries. These surveys have proven the refraction seismic technique to be applicable to a wide variety of engineering problems. The best known applications of the instrument have been in the, …

It involves hard abrasive grains contacting the surface and causing the cracks propagation inside the ground surface, which is known as subsurface damage (SSD) [8], [9]. When resonators oscillate, tension, closure and friction between crack interfaces of cracks in the subsurface of resonators consume a substantial amount of mechanical energy.
Other work developed an Random forest (RF) algorithm to predict metal sorption efficiency of biochars, attaining R 2 of 0.948 (Zhu et al., 2019). In a recent study, K-nearest neighbors (KNN) was utilized to predict methane production in anaerobic digesters that yielded the best prediction accuracy of 0.73 (Wang et al., 2020a).

Fifteen vertical electrical sounding (VES) stations were sounded using Schlumberger electrode configuration. The result revealed a total of 3 to 4 geoelectric layers. The first layer with resistivity values range from 2.8 to 149.2 Ωm and has thickness and depth of 0.1 to 6.5 m. The second layer has resistivity which ranges from 245.9 to 7761.2 Ωm, thickness of 1.1 to 10.7 m and ...
The topic of "subsurface integrity" has recently gained importance as well. Since all mechanical machining processes involving tool-workpiece contacts inevitably cause subsurface damage, the depth and structure of the near-surface layer will influence the mechanical, optical and electronic performance of silicon products.
Ground Investigations are undertaken to satisfy the requirements of our Clients' and where necessary the requirements of any regulatory bodies, Local Authority Departments etc. Ground Investigation Techniques. There are various methods of intrusive Ground Investigation techniques of which each technique has its advantages and limitations.
N2 - Studies of the former NE England coalfield in Tyneside demonstrated that heat flow perturbations in boreholes were due to the entrainment and lateral dispersion of heat from deeper in the subsurface through flooded mine workings. This work assesses the influence of historical mining on geothermal observations across Greater Glasgow.
