This paper assesses the uncertainty of partial safety factors for design corroded pipelines against burst failure due to variability associated with strength model selection. First, 10 calibrated pressure prediction models are adopted and duly categorised under low-, medium- high-grade steel classes. The probabilistic characteristics pipe studied using Monte Carlo simulation selected models. Mo...

Due to the increasing need for continuous use of face masks caused by COVID-19, it is essential evaluate filtration quality that each mask provides. In this research, an estimation method based on thermal image processing was developed; main objective effectiveness different while being used during breathing. For acquisition heat distribution images, a thermographic imaging system built; moreov...

The pathogens such as fungi and bacteria can lead to rice diseases that drastically impair crop production. Because the illness is difficult control on a broad scale, field monitoring one of most effective methods control. It allows for early detection disease implementation preventative measures. Disease severity estimation based digital picture analysis, where pictures are obtained from using...

Comparing and contrasting examples is a core cognitive process that supports learning in children and adults across a variety of topics. In this experimental study, we evaluated the benefits of supporting comparison in a classroom context for children learning about computational estimation. Fifth- and sixth-grade students (N=157) learned about estimation either by comparing alternative solutio...

Load forecasting allows for the utilities to plan their operations to serve their customers with more reliable and economical electric power. With the developments in computer and information technology new techniques to accurately forecast power system loading are emerging. This research culminates in development of modified algorithms for short-term load forecasting (STLF) of a utility grade ...
