Soil-rock mixture embankments are essential for infrastructure stability, particularly in high-fill construction projects. This study evaluates the effects of rock content and spatial distribution of rock blocks on the bearing capacity, stability, and failure sliding surfaces of SRM embankments through static load model tests. An Equation for Sliding Surface of Block-Rock Content and Distribution was developed to calculate sliding surfaces based on rock content and distribution, and validated it through numerical simulation experiments.

The environmental behavior of paclobutrazol in soil and its toxicity were studied by field investigation and an outdoor pot experiment, and the residue of paclobutrazol was detected by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Field investigation has found that the residual paclobutrazol in the former succession crop could severely inhibit the growth of succeeding crops of potato; with migration and transformation of residual paclobutrazol in the soil, the stems of potato were thickened with residual amount of 1.23 mg kg, the growth was slow, and the height of potato in soil with residual amount of 1.

Fermi resonance is a phenomenon of molecular vibrational coupling and energy transfer occurred between different groups of a single molecule or neighboring molecules. Many properties of Fermi resonance under different external fields, the investigation method of Raman spectroscopy as well as the application of Fermi resonance, etc need to be developed and extended further. In this article the research results and development about Fermi resonance obtained by Raman spectral technique were introduced systematically according to our work and the results by other researchers.

Recent studies in vivo and vitro have shown that Fuzi polysaccharide has an antidepressant-like effect. Polysaccharide and total alkaloid are the two most important components of Fuzi. However, little is known about the antidepressant-like effect of Fuzi total alkaloid.

We have measured the Raman spectra of liquid CS(2) at different volume concentrations in CHCl(3) and CH(2)Cl(2) solutions. With decreasing the volume concentration of CS(2), a noticeable growth in the 2ν(2) band frequency was observed, while the ν(1) band location remained practically unchanged. This asymmetric wavenumber shift phenomenon of the Fermi doublet ν(1) and 2ν(2) of CS(2) has been ascribed to weak, non-conventional hydrogen bonds formed between the CS(2) and the solvent molecules.

The effect of the Fermi resonance (FR) on the Raman scattering cross sections (RSCSs) of the Fermi doublet ν1, 2ν2 of liquid CS2 in C6H6 using the method of changing the volume concentration of the solution is investigated. We have calculated the RSCSs of the Fermi doublet ν1, 2ν2 using Onsager's theory with the 992 cm(-1) Raman line of C6H6 as the internal standard. The result shows that the RSCS of the ν1 line decreases with decreasing the volume concentration of CS2, while that of the 2ν2 line unexpectedly increases.

The values of Raman scattering coefficients of some molecules in which Fermi resonance occurs vary with solution concentration variation. We measured the Raman spectra of some solvents such as CCl4, CS2, C6H6, etc by changing the concentration of the solutions ranging from 10% to 100% in volume. As a result, the authors obtained the general law of Fermi resonance.

The Raman spectra of binary solution (CCl4 and C6 H6) and pure liquid were measured up to pressures of 11 GPa. The results show that pressure effect on binary solution is different from that on pure liquid: When mixing two liquids, owing to the changes in the density of the solution, intermolecular distance decreases and interaction energy increases, the frequency shift (blue shift) of spectral bands increases, and the frequency shift of binary liquid is faster than pure liquid frequency shift. Phase transitions (spectral bands splitting) change earlier and natural frequency difference delta0 increases with increasing pressure, while the Fermi resonance bands nu1 + nu6 and nu8 of benzene and nu1 + nu4 and nu3 of CCl4 disappear as the pressure decreases gradually, the spectral bands with different compressibility have different speed, whereas CCl4 has smaller density, longer bond, smaller force constant and larger compressibility and is easy to compress, C6H6 has larger density, smaller bond, larger force constant, smaller compressibility and is hard to compress.

The Raman scattering coefficients of the fundamental v1 (992 cm(-1)) of C6 H6 and the fundamental v1 (656 cm(-1) ) of CS2 changed dramatically with relative concentration of the binary solution of CS2 and C6 H6. The Raman spectra of the binary solution with different relative concentrations were measured. The results show that both the v1 fundamentals intensities changed dramatically with the relative concentration of the solution and the fundamental v1 of C6 H6 has little effect on the Fermi resonance v1 +v6-v8.
