Improving identification of a significant soil layer from CPTU combined with acoustic data

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...

Improving Data Availability Using Combined Replication Strategy in Cloud Environment

As grow as the data-intensive applications in cloud computing day after day, data popularity in this environment becomes critical and important. Hence to improve data availability and efficient accesses to popular data, replication algorithms are now widely used in distributed systems. However, most of them only replicate the static number of replicas on some requested chosen sites and it is ob...

Simplified model for evaluating soil liquefaction potential using CPTU

Combined Statistical Analyses of Peptide Intensities and Peptide Occurrences Improves Identification of Significant Peptides from MS-Based Proteomics Data

Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry-based (LC-MS) proteomics uses peak intensities of proteolytic peptides to infer the differential abundance of peptides/proteins. However, substantial run-to-run variability in intensities and observations (presence/absence) of peptides makes data analysis quite challenging. The missing observations in LC-MS proteomics data are difficult to address with tr...

A Comprehensive Method of Evaluating Open Government Data with the Aim of Improving Data Quality and Increasing Citizens' Willingness

Purpose: The purpose is to present an open government data evaluation method by considering comprehensive and complete dimensions and criteria - calculating the weight and importance of each criterion, examining the country in this area, clustering organizations and presenting a classification model to predict the situation. Methodology: Library studies was used to extract the dimensions and cr...
