Is It All about a Science-Informed Decision? A Quantitative Approach to Three Dimensions of Justice and Their Relation in the Nuclear Waste Repository Siting Process in Germany

Nuclear waste management is a contested challenge that lasts for decades.Especially in Germany, the history of the usage of nuclear energy is conflictive and notions of justice are therefore omnipresent in the ongoing site selection process for a nuclear waste repository.Against the background of injustices caused by the deployment of nuclear energ

Machine learning approaches for stability prediction of rectangular tunnels in natural clays based on MLP and RBF neural networks

In underground space technology, the issue of tunnel stability is a fundamental concern that significantly causes catastrophe.Owing to sedimentation and deposition processes, the strengths of clays are anisotropic, where the magnitudes of undrained shear strengths in the vertical and horizontal directions are different.The anisotropic undrained she
