The progress status of jet-grouting construction during the phase is difficult to verify and even after completion construction, it can be verified only by empirical methods. This study attempted recreate a realistic simulation result middle-pressure method establishing computer-aided engineering (CAE) system from planning/design stage ground model verifying validity process was analyzed moving...

We present a space annealing version for a contour Monte Carlo algorithm and show that it can be applied successfully to finding the ground states for an off-lattice protein model. The comparison shows that the algorithm has made a significant improvement over the pruned-enriched-Rosenbluth method and the Metropolis Monte Carlo method in finding the ground states for AB models. For all sequence...

Enzymes are one of the most important biomolecules which has a wide range of applications in industrial as well as biomedical field. They are important due to their many useful properties. Their development, to a great extent, has been possible due to the availability of microbial sources. Microorganisms are of much attention because they can be produced economically and are amenable to genetic...

The history and origins of proficiency testing of clinical laboratories are reviewed. Since the introduction of proficiency testing in the late 1940s, dramatic improvement in laboratory performance has been demonstrated. Nonetheless, the poor performance found two decades earlier was summoned to support the passage of the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act of 1967 (CLIA '67).

Preloading and Prefabricated Vertical Drains (PVD) is a ground improvement technique used to increase the consolidation process of clayey soils by means of shortening the drainage path. This paper discusses a case study of a road construction where a part of road alignment goes through a low laying water logged area. Primary consolidation of soft clay will continue for longer period of time aft...

NASA’s Software Engineering Laboratory (SEL), one of the earliest pioneers in the areas of software process improvement and measurement, has had a significant impact on the software business at NASA Goddard. At the heart of the SEL’s improvement program is a belief that software products can be improved by optimizing the software engineering process used to develop them and a long-term improvem...
