چکیده
EPA’s research-based regulations have fostered significant strides in environmental improvement in the United States and inspired analogous endeavors around the globe. Notably, air quality has improved (https://gispub.epa.gov/air/trendsreport/2017/#highlights) over North America and Europe in recent decades, and China and India are making concerted efforts to protect the health of their citizens and environment.

Bucking the Trend: Large-Scale Cost-Focused Active Learning for Statistical Machine Translation
We explore how to improve machine translation systems by adding more translation data in situations where we already have substantial resources. The main challenge is how to buck the trend of diminishing returns that is commonly encountered. We present an active learning-style data solicitation algorithm to meet this challenge. We test it, gathering annotations via Amazon Mechanical Turk, and f...
متن کاملErgonomic Field Assessment of Bucking Bars during Riveting Tasks
Riveting tasks in aircraft manufacturing results in exposure to vibration from both rivet guns and bucking bars. Long term exposure to vibration has been associated with symptoms of vibration white finger and musculoskeletal disorders. Four different bucking bars of the same shape but different material and mass characteristics (90% tungsten, >90% tungsten, cold rolled and stainless steel) were...
متن کاملThe Effect of Two Bucking Methods on Scots Pine Lumber Quality
Modern harvesters are equipped with measurement and bucking optimization systems able not only to continuously measure the length and diameter of the stem but also to predict the profile of the unknown part of a stem and to calculate the optimal cross-cutting points for the whole stem. So far, tree-bucking optimization in the Nordic countries has been efficiently applied only with spruce becaus...
متن کاملBuckling strength of uniaxially compressed orthogonally stiffened plates
The bucking strength calculation includes the determination of global buckling strength, the effective plate width and the torsional buckling strength of open section stiffeners. In each calculation the classic strength formula should be modified considering the effect of initial imperfections and residual welding stresses. The calculation method of Det Norske Veritas design rules and the Euroc...
متن کاملA 3D Optimal Bucking System for Central Appalachian Hardwood Species
An optimal tree-stem bucking system was developed for central Appalachian hardwood species using 3D modeling techniques. ActiveX Data Objects were implemented via MS Visual C++/OpenGL to manipulate tree data which were supported by a backend relational data model with five data tables for stems, grades and prices, logs, defects and stem shapes. Network analysis algorithm was employed to achieve...
