Reinforcement learning tasks are often used to assess participants' tendency to learn more from the positive or more from the negative consequences of one's action. However, this assessment often requires comparison in learning performance across different task conditions, which may differ in the relative salience or discriminability of the stimuli associated with more and less rewarding outcom...

in this study the performance of clay nano-particles on the soil reinforced with polypropylene fibers (pp-fiber) has been investigated. also a series of investigations concerning the effect of random orientation of fibers on the engineering behaviour of soil were conducted. soil mixtures were modified with varying percentages of nanoclay and fibers. unconfined compressive strength (ucs), compac...

We adopt the HITS algorithm and assess the performance of its mutual reinforcement principle to detect terms and sentences with high saliency scores in documents. An overview is given of the goal, possible applications and the implementation. The weighting scheme that has been used, is described and accounted for. Experimental results are given as well as ideas for further research. 1 Goal and ...

Torsional demand acting on beams can significantly effect structural behavior and cause high-local stresses. The torsional resistance of be potentially increased by using fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets. In this study, basalt (BFRP) carbon (CFRP) fabrics with different layouts are used to strength the steel I-beams, enhancement in is investigated experimentally numerically. First, 12 spec...

To provide sustainable reinforced concrete deep beams, the replacement of steel rebars by FRP with high-chemical resistance is proposed researchers. However, effects strength, top and web longitudinal reinforcements, types flexural on non-linear performance beams have rarely been evaluated. This study numerically assessed reinforcements strength behaviour GFRP- CFRP-strengthened various shear s...

The combination of web document contents, sentences and users’ comments from social networks provides a viewpoint of a web document towards a special event. This paper proposes a framework named SoRTESum to take advantage of information from Twitter viz. Diversity and reflection of document content to generate high-quality summaries by a novel sentence similarity measurement. The framework firs...

Al7075 alloy reinforced with h-Boron Nitrate (BN) composites were processed by stir casting technique. The produced composite was subjected to microstructural studies using OLYMPUS -BX51M, tensile, hardness, density and wear tests. Tensile strength and hardness were found to increase by 12.8% and 20% respectively due to increased dislocation density with the addition of reinforcement. Microstru...
