Determining silt state from CPTu

Estimating in-situ soil permeability from CPT & CPTu

Engineers often want to estimate profiles of soil permeability (hydraulic conductivity) as part of the site characterization process. Several methods have been proposed to estimate the coefficient of permeability (k) using CPT results. These methods are generally based on two approaches: (1) estimated soil type and (2) rate of dissipation during a CPTu dissipation test. This paper presents upda...

Determining User State and Mental Task Demand From Electroencephalographic Data

Information about people’s current activity (their user state) and their mental task demand can be used for multiple purposes in meeting, lecture or office scenarios. Depending on the current user state and the level of task demand mobile communication devices such as cell-phones can configure themselves in a way that they notify their owner of an incoming event (e.g. a phone call) only, if thi...

Velocity, Silt and Larval Drift

8768 SILT 36 (M2989).indd

A decade after the publication of the Common European Framework of Reference for languages (CEFR, Council of Europe 2001), practitioners’ relationship with this fundamental tool is still rather ambivalent and certainly not homogeneous. Very often teachers feel hesitant, asking themselves if what they are doing is consistent with the CEFR guidelines. This scenario, with some minor variations, ca...
