This paper presents a numerical study of 3×3 pile groups embedded in clay under vertical and inclined eccentric loads. Simplified modelling, based on elastic beams soil continuum, is used to explore the soil-pile-cap response. simple model allows rigorous treatment 3D foundation geometry local plasticity, demonstrated through validation with finite element analysis. The results reveal that comp...

Reliable estimation of wind-induced displacement responses long-span bridges is critical to evaluating their wind-resistant performance. In this study, two Bayesian approaches, generalized linear model (BGLM) and sparse learning (SBL), are proposed for characterizing the lateral with structural health monitoring (SHM) data. They fully model-free data-driven preferable reckoning total intended p...

This paper describes and evaluates predictive power management algorithms that we have developed to minimize energy consumption and unmet demand in parallel computer systems. The algorithms are evaluated using workload data obtained from production servers from several applications, showing that energy savings of 20% or more can readily be achieved, with a small degree of unmet demand and accep...

The aim of this article is to describe basic possibilities of the e-learning application called eAmos. I have chosen this product which is already being used as a base for the development of my future e-learning system. This system is used with orientation to usage and serviceability of functions serving for assessment of students at the South Bohemian University in České Budějovice. Comparison...

For the last two decades, the healthcare industry has gone through changes in healthcare service deliveries. These changes are a response to: higher service expectations from patients, ever-advancing technology, greater access to health information through the internet and the digital media, and a holistic approach to health and well-being concerns (Francis, 2010). In this competitive healthcar...

In assessing the military serviceability of marginally adjusted individuals two types of criteria arc commonly useds the number of individuals within the marginal group who fail to complete a stated period of military service (i.e. are discharged for neuropsychiatrie, other medical, or disciplinary reasons before service is completed), and various performance mensures (i.e. incidence ef hospita...
