3D FEM Model on the Parameters’ Influence of EPB-TBM on Settlements of Single and Twin Metro Tunnels During Construction by Masoud Forsat (14158980)

“…The face supporting pressure had more effect on the surface settlement in comparison to the grout injection pressure. By increasing the face pressure in the single tunnel, the place of maximum settlement moved back while the grout pressure is insignificant for decreasing the settlements. …”

The nexus between debt structure, firm performance, and the financial crisis: non-linear panel data evidence from Japan by Rami Zeitun (17075215)

“…In addition, there is a U-shaped relationship between firm performance and short-term debt, suggesting that a firm’s profit decreases at lower levels of short-term debt (below 45.2%) and increases at higher levels of debt with short-term maturity. …”

Pore-scale simulation of fine particles migration in porous media using coupled CFD-DEM by Ahmed Elrahmani (17128837)
