Wedge failures in geotechnical engineering occur when slopes with discontinuities experience sliding along the line of intersection of two planes. This type of failure can happen under various geological and geometric conditions and involves specific criteria such as the dip of the intersecting plan

Circular failure in rock slopes, such as those containing discontinuities or weak materials like highly weathered or fractured rock, occurs along circular surfaces. This type of failure is common when geological features are not clearly defined. Factors influencing circular failure, conditions under

Peptic ulcer disease and dyspepsia are common gastrointestinal conditions. Dyspepsia presents with upper abdominal pain and may or may not be associated with peptic ulcers. The most prevalent causes of dyspepsia include non-ulcer dyspepsia, GERD, and peptic ulcers. Peptic ulcers account for a signif

Recognizable preplanetary nebulae typically exhibit bipolar structures with an opaque disk that contains a density discontinuity at a certain radius. These disks, when appropriately tilted, can block light from the rear lobe of the nebula, leading to the observation of a sharp outer boundary. Studie

Classification of discontinuities in metal processing involves identifying interruptions in the normal physical structure, such as cracks, seams, and inclusions, which may or may not be defects. Discontinuities can be surface or subsurface, with surface ones being more likely harmful. The origins of
