Geological and hydrogeological conditions in karst areas are complicated from the viewpoint of engineering. The construction of underground structures in these areas is often disturbed by the gushing of karst water, which may delay the construction schedule, result in economic losses, and even cause heavy casualties. In this paper, an innovative method of multichannel transient Rayleigh wave detecting is proposed by introducing the concept of arrival time difference phase between channels (TDP). Overcoming the restriction of the space-sampling law, the proposed method can extract the phase velocities of different frequency components from only two channels of transient Rayleigh wave recorded on two adjacent detecting points. This feature greatly improves the work efficiency and lateral resolution of transient Rayleigh wave detecting. The improved multichannel transient Rayleigh wave detecting method is applied to the detection of karst caves and fractures in rock mass of the foundation pit of Yan'an Road Station of Guiyang Metro. The imaging of the detecting results clearly reveals the distribution of karst water inflow channels, which provided significant guidance for water plugging and enabled good control over karst water gushing in the foundation pit.

A novel method has been developed for the simultaneous online determination of the isotopic compositions of different antimony (Sb) species in a single analytical run using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with multicollector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (MC-ICPMS), with hydride generation (HG) serving as the interface. Various parameters affecting the precision of Sb isotope analysis including HG conditions, transient signal processing methods and peak integration windows, were optimized. The linear regression slope method and a 100% peak integration window provided the optimal precision.

Reservoir computing (RC) is a machine learning paradigm that excels at dynamical systems analysis. Photonic RCs, which perform implicit computation through optical interactions, have attracted increasing attention due to their potential for low latency predictions. However, most existing photonic RCs rely on a nonlinear physical cavity to implement system memory, limiting control over the memory structure and requiring long warm-up times to eliminate transients.

Despite the fundamental and technological importance of the elastic constants, a suitable method for their full characterization in epitaxial films is missing. Here we show that transient grating spectroscopy (TGS) with highly k-vector-selective generation and detection of acoustic waves is capable of determination of all independent elastic coefficients of an epitaxial thin film grown on a single-crystalline substrate. This experimental setup enables detection of various types of guided acoustic waves and evaluation of the directional dependence of their speeds of propagation.

We investigated laser-induced cavitation dynamics in a small container with elastic thin walls and free or partially confined surface both experimentally and by numerical investigations. The cuvette was only 8-25 times larger than the bubble in its center. The liquid surface was either free, or two thirds were confined by a piston-shaped pressure transducer.
