In order to study pressed pile test and ultimate bearing capacity character of large-diameter steel pipe pile, based on two high-piled wharfs of Zhanjiang Port, pressed pile test and numerical simulation of three large-diameter steel pipe piles are analyzed in this paper. Anchored pile method is used to pressed pile test, and the curves of Q-s and ultimate bearing capacity are attained. Then th...

We show that the one-dimensional Oslo rice-pile model is a special case of the abelian distributed processors model. The exact steady state of the model is determined. We show that the time evolution operator W for the system satisfies the equation Wn+1 = Wn where n = L(L + 1)/2 for a pile with L sites. This is used to prove that W has only one eigenvalue 1 corresponding to the steady state, an...

Type A affine shuffles are compared with riffle shuffles followed by a cut. Although these probability measures on the symmetric group Sn are different, they both satisfy a convolution property. Strong evidence is given that when the underlying parameter q satisfies gcd(n, q−1) = 1, the induced measures on conjugacy classes of the symmetric group coincide. This gives rise to interesting combina...

 Sorting is the process of arranging the data into a meaningful order so that we can analyze it more effectively. Sorting is a key requirement in many applications like digital signal processing, scientific computing, network processing etc. This paper presents an area efficient technique for designing high throughput and low latency sorting units. Two popular parallel sorting algorithms are u...

impact pile driving is a multi-component problem which is associated to multi-directional ground vibrations. at first, vibration is transferred from the hammer to the pile and then to the common interface of pile and soil. this is then transferred to the environment and has great impact on the adjacent structures, causing disturbance to residents and also damage to the buildings. it is of high ...

numerous techniques have been presented by different researchers to analyze piled raft. in order to analyze pile foundation, soil can be modeled as spring, continuous medium, or porous media. pile can also be modeled as spring or continuous medium. this study includes three main stages: a short description of different types of analysis methods of pile foundation, writing a computer program bas...

The widespread occurrence of ideophones, large classes of words specialized in evoking sensory imagery, is little known outside linguistics and anthropology. Ideophones are a common feature in many of the world’s languages but are underdeveloped in English and other Indo-European languages. Here we study the meanings of ideophones in Siwu (a Kwa language from Ghana) using a pile-sorting task. T...

Obesity and associated health risks disproportionately affect Aboriginal (First Nations) children in Canada. The purpose of this research study was to elicit First Nations children's perceptions of food, activity, and health to inform a community-based obesity prevention strategy. Fifteen 4th- and 5th-Grade students participated in one of three focus group interviews that utilized drawing and p...
