(3) The stress and failure analyses reveal that local failures occur in the rock mass around the excavation forming local rockfalls but these local failures have not accumulated to result in failures in massive area of the rock mass.
Background: Stereotactic radiosurgery has been employed as a salvage treatment of local failures of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).
The authors in [29, 30] study the problem of VN mapping while considering the local failures of the physical network in edge-of-things computing.
