Since the COVID-19 pandemic hit last year, countries locked their borders. Thus, international shipping deteriorates drastically. Simultaneously, social distancing increased need for immediate online consumption and fast home delivery. In non-digital world, products still to be shipped destination using trucks, trains, airplanes, ships. requirements volumes of goods, transport costs, external l...

ATMs enable the public to perform €nancial transactions. Banks try to strategically position their ATMs in order to maximize transactions and revenue. In this paper, we introduce a model which provides a score to an ATM location, which serves as an indicator of its relative likelihood of transactions. In order to eciently capture the spatially dynamic features, we utilize two concurrent predic...

In non-invasive thermal diagnostics for the location of a tumor, accurate correlations between the thermal image on skin surface and interior human physiology are often desired, which require general solutions for the bioheat equation. In this paper we use sensitivity analysis in order to compute the shape derivative of the funtional that provides the minimum (the geometrical position of the tu...

This thesis is in Computational Geometry. Computational Geometry is a subfield of Computer Science that deals with problems of a geometric nature that arise in application domains such as Computer Graphics, Robotics, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and Molecular Biology. More specifically, in this thesis we conduct research in Computational Geometry in the context of (Geometric) Facility ...

in this paper effect of pile-soil consideration in obtaining seismic response offshore structure is assessed due to earthquake loading. inducedseismic force is one of the most important excitations for the dynamic response of an offshore structure. according to api, seismic forces should be accounted in platform design for seismically active regions in order to determine the allowable seismic r...

A series of shaking table model tests were performed to examine the effects deep cement mixing (DCM) columns with different reinforcement depths on seismic behavior a pile group in liquefiable sand. Due DCM column reinforcement, fundamental natural frequency ground increases noticeably. The excess pore pressure soils reduces increase columns. Before liquefaction, acceleration response improved ...

Abstract Piled embankments have been extensively used for high-speed rail over soft soils because of their effectiveness in minimizing differential settlement and shortening the construction period. Stress concentration ratio, defined as ratio vertical stress carried by pile heads (or caps if applicable) to that adjacent soils, is a fundamental parameter design piled embankments. In view compli...
