The fine-grained soil including the problematic ones can cause many difficulties in project accomplishment. Settlement and swelling are among the problems of the fine-grained soils. The present study compared the effects of the polypropylene waste plastic (PWP) and glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) on geotechnical properties of the clayey soils for the subgrade design. To this end, the PWP ...

This supplementary material is organized as follows. Sec. 2.1 and Sec. 2.2 present proofs for the Eq. 4 in the paper in the case of max and average pooling operator, respectively. Sec. 2.3 substantiates variance statements associated with Eq. 6 and Eq. 7 in the Section 3.3. Sec. 3 shows numerical details for Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 in the paper. Last, Sec. 4 shows examples of object instances in JHUI...

We present a new integrated environment for cellular computing and other fine grained applications. It is based upon previous developments concerning cellular computing environments (the ParCeL family) and coarse grained algorithms (the SSCRAP toolbox). It is aimed to be portable and efficient, and at the same time to offer a comfortable abstraction for the developer of fine grained programs. A...

Capillary barrier system (CBS) was developed as a slope protection method to prevent rainwater infiltration into the underlying soil based on principle of unsaturated mechanics by harnessing distinct difference in hydraulic properties fine-grained layer with those coarse-grained soils. The CBS is commonly designed and constructed using gravel material fine sand material. However, due scarcity n...

In spite of excellent corrosion resistance, good ductility and low cost of AISI 316 austenitic stainless steel, the low hardness and poor mechanical charecteristic of material restricts its applicability in several industrial services. To improve upon mechanical properties AlFeCuCrCoNi-WC10 high-entropy alloy coatings were deposited via laser cladding on austentic stainless steel AISI 316 subst...

the kashkan formation (paleocene to middle eocene), consists of conglomerate, sandstone, and siltstone in the zagros folded zone, southwest iran. type of the sedimentary facies, architectural elements and trace fossils show that kashkan deposits were formed in a low sinuosity braided stream system, with north to south flow direction. the formation displays coarsening-upward succession reflects ...

An important characteristic of sketches, compared with text, rests with their ability to intrinsically capture object appearance and structure. Nonetheless, akin to traditional text-based image retrieval, conventional sketch-based image retrieval (SBIR) principally focuses on retrieving images of the same category, neglecting the fine-grained characteristics of sketches. In this paper, we advoc...

We address fine-grained entity classification and propose a novel attention-based recurrent neural network (RNN) encoderdecoder that generates paths in the type hierarchy and can be trained end-to-end. We show that our model performs better on fine-grained entity classification than prior work that relies on flat or local classifiers that do not directly model hierarchical structure.
