One of the most important issues in all stages of mining study is capital cost estimation. Determination of capital expenditure is a challenging issue for mine designers. In recent decade, quite a few number of studies have focused on proposing estimation models to predict mining capital cost. However, these efforts have not achieved to a predictor model with reliable range of error. Both of ov...

Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) is widely used in soil and rock engineering. In a variety of conditions, it is necessary to estimate the torque required for performing the reaming operation. Nevertheless, there is not presently a convenient method to accomplish this task. In this paper, to overcome this difficulty based on the basic concepts of rock engineering systems (RES), a model for ...

background often, there is no access to sufficient sample size to estimate the prevalence using the method of direct estimator in all areas. the aim of this study was to compare small area’s bayesian method and direct method in estimating the prevalence of steatosis in obese and overweight children. materials and methods: in this cross-sectional study, was conducted on 150 overweight and obese ...

The paper is focused on the Word Error Rate (WER) estimation in Analog to Digital Converters (ADCs) as specified in Annex A of the IEEE Std. 1241. The aim is to give a contribution for the next version of such standard. A new statistical approach for WER estimation, that can better integrate what it is stated in the standard, is proposed. In particular, Student’s t and chi-square distributions ...

the wepp physically model is able to dynamically simulate runoff and soil erosion using physical concepts of erosion and hydraulic of overland flow science considering plant growth, residue decomposition, winter process. determination of the capability of this model in runoff and erosion estimation in different range type with investigation the effects of management were the main objectives of ...
