A two-dimensional beam is scattered by a cylinder buried below a slightly rough surface. The cylindrical wave approach is applied, i.e., cylindrical waves are employed as basis functions of the fields scattered by the cylinder. Moreover, a spectral representation of both the incident field and the cylindrical waves is used. Rough surface deviation is coped with by the first-order small perturbation method. Therefore, to a zeroth-order solution relevant to scattering in the case of a flat surface, a first-order approximation is superimposed. The theoretical approach has been implemented for a periodic surface with Gaussian roughness spectrum.

The interpretation of gravity anomalies is crucial for identifying subsurface mineralized targets and understanding the density variations between the targets and the surrounding structures. To confirm the presence of ore and mineral targets, simple geometric bodies are often used. One of the commonly used global metaheuristic algorithms for gravity data analysis is the particle optimization algorithm.

Shallow underwater environments around the world are contaminated with unexploded ordnances (UXOs). Current state-of-the-art methods for UXO detection and localization use remote sensing systems. Furthermore, human divers are often tasked with confirming UXO existence and retrieval which poses health and safety hazards.

Wire breakage is a major factor in the failure of prestressed concrete cylinder pipes (PCCP). In the presented work, an automatic monitoring approach of broken wires in PCCP using fiber-optic distributed acoustic sensors (DAS) is investigated. The study designs a 1:1 prototype wire break monitoring experiment using a DN4000 mm PCCP buried underground in a simulated test environment.

The white-rot fungus is known to cause brown root rot disease (BRRD) in woody trees and shrubs. To understand the pathogenicity of in herbaceous plants, we investigated 23 herbaceous weed and turfgrass species in 32 BRRD-infested sites in Taiwan and/or tested them by artificial inoculation. In the field survey, was isolated from seven symptomless herbaceous species (i.
