Whereas an inference (deductive as well as inductive) is usually viewed as being valid in virtue of its argument form, the present paper argues that scientific reasoning is material inference, i.e., justified in virtue of its content. A material inference is licensed by the empirical content embodied in the concepts contained in the premisses and conclusion. Understanding scientific reasoning a...

Not all universities, and especially newly established institutes in biomedical engineering are able to develop and provide a high quality learning content. A distant, open and free learning environment European Virtual Campus for Biomedical Engineering (EVICAB) could provide a solution for that. The learning content has been already developed for EVICAB and is available in different formats, i...

The use of the Internet for course preparation is ill served by traditional, content-based search engines. This paper describes SourceFinder, a web search engine that locates text material based on linguistic characteristics, such as reading level. Combining SourceFinder with content-based searches may allow instructors more easily to identify material relevant for their courses. We present exa...

Tempeh known as indigenous food that has high nutrients and antioxidant compounds. was produced from the fermentation of soybean with Rhizopus sp. usually wrapped plastic or banana leaf. The purpose this study to know effect originated (import local soybean) packaging material types (plastic, teakwood leaf, hibiscus leaf) on activity, fat content, ash content tempeh. methods research were activ...

in this paper attempts have been done to create a mortar with relatively high uniaxial compressive strength (ucs), easy casting, high flexibility, instant hardening, low cost and easy availability. the main use of this material is to physically model the mechanical behavior of jointed rock-like blocks. the effect of four parameters such as joint roughness coefficient (jrc), bridge length (l), b...

Partially Lateritised Khondalite (PLK) rocks are the waste materials generated as a result of mining of bauxite. The major discolouring elemental impurity in the PLK is iron oxides, which render it unsuitable for its use as a refractory material. The iron can be removed by suitable beneficiation methods. The main aim of this present investigation is to prepare a value added material from the mi...

The capability to automatically identify shapes, objects and materials from the image content through direct and indirect methodologies has enabled the development of several civil engineering related applications that assist in the design, construction and maintenance of construction projects. This capability is a product of the technological breakthroughs in the area of image processing that ...

Broadband electromagnetic frequency or time domain sensor techniques present high potential for quantitative water content monitoring in porous media. Prior to in situ application, the impact of the relationship between the broadband electromagnetic properties of the porous material (clay-rock) and the water content on the frequency or time domain sensor response is required. For this purpose, ...
