The term textitsoft emphasizes that no boundaries between particles are defined and every particle possesses a support consisting of a set of adjacent particles. The polynomial interpolation/approximation method is utilized for the evaluation of spatial derivatives using the information carried by particles in supports. The system of equations consisting of spatial derivatives is solved using an iterative nonlinear solver and the computation of the Jacobian matrix is parallelized. The simulations of laboratory tests have been carried out to show the applications and limitations of the current version of SPARC. In addition to the simulations, laboratory (zig-zag) model tests using fine sand were carried out, in which the cyclic tilt of a retaining wall induces a peculiar motion in the backfill (sand), with closed trajectories (eddies).Advances in geotechnical engineering and tunneling ;21.Geotechnical engineeringGranular materialsGeotechnical engineering.Granular materials.624.151Chen Jianxun623461MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910824748503321Development of soft particle code (SPARC)3996623UNINA02431oam 2200577 c 450 991095739890332120251202090341.03-8382-7224-29783838272245(CKB)4100000011297743(MiAaPQ)EBC6335828(ibidem)9783838272245(EXLCZ)99410000001129774320251202d2020 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierMass Murder and Serial Murder An Integrative Look /Arnon Edelstein, Sara Yurman1st ed.Hannoveribidem20201 online resource (427 pages) illustrationsIncludes bibliographical references.While “Mass murder” refers to the murder of several people at the same time, "serial murder" describes several killings by the same perpetrator in a repetitive pattern. Usually these incidents count a high toll of victims and create significant anxiety in the public. Yet, the rate of finding murderers in these cases is relatively very low, especially in serial murders; that is if they are ever caught at all. Arnon Edelstein examines the various categories of mass murder and serial murder and suggests a new category: “mass-serial murder”. He presents and criticizes the most up-to-date research and theoretical literature in the field and suggests an integrative theoretical model. This groundbreaking volume is intended for criminologists, psychologists, sociologists, students, and readers who are interested in truly understanding the complicated aspects of this fascinating field of investigation.MurderMass MurderSerial MurderMordMassenmordSerienmörderCriminologyKriminologieMurderMass MurderSerial MurderMordMassenmordSerienmörderCriminologyKriminologie364Edelstein Arnonaut1835876Yurman SaratrlMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910957398903321Mass Murder and Serial Murder4413364UNINA
