Scaled Model Tests Investigating Deformation Characteristics of Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil (GRS) Abutments under Vertical Loads.

This study conducted plane-strain scaled model tests to investigate the deformation characteristics of geosynthetic reinforced soil (GRS) abutments subjected to vertical loads. Setback distance, i.e.

Potential influence of anaesthesia techniques on the recurrence and progression after resection of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer: a propensity score-matched analysis.

Background: The non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer is a common malignancy of the urinary system. Many patients relapse after transurethral resection surgery. Different anaesthesia techniques may influence a patient's immune system during the perioperative time.
