Dynamic behavior of ground supported cylindrical storage tanks (CST) is of crucial importance because of its applications in industrial complexes. Seismic behavior of tanks is greatly affected by the height to diameter ratio, fluid height and fluid type. Five CSTs with different height to diameter ratios, three CSTs with the same height and diameters but various fluid heights and one CST with t...

The response of submerged slopes on the continental shelf to seismic or storm loading has become an important element in the risk assessment for offshore structures and “local” tsunami hazards worldwide. The geological profile of these slopes typically includes normally consolidated to lightly overconsolidated soft cohesive soils with layer thickness ranging from a few meters to hundreds of met...

Pseudo-natural maps show land cover information in a compelling style that combines cartographic abstraction with natural appearance. To make this style available to the modern cartographer, a (semi-) automatic method that generates pseudo-natural textures for rendering land cover categories on maps would be helpful. This article focuses on a single aspect of pseudo-natural map creation, namely...

State-space models are a very general class of time series capable of modeling dependent observations in a natural and interpretable way. While optimal state estimation can now be routinely performed using SMC (sequential Monte Carlo) methods, on-line static parameter estimation largely remains an unsolved problem. In Andrieu and Doucet [2003] it was proposed to use a pseudo-likelihood approach...

Using infrared spectroscopy, we found that changes in the in-plane charge dynamics attributable to static stripe order in La(1.275)Nd(0.6)Sr(0.125)CuO(4) or superconductivity in La(1.875)Sr(0.125)CuO(4) are confined to energies smaller than 100 cm(-1). An absorption peak in the low- omega conductivity of the Nd-doped compound is suggestive of localization effects due to the reduced dimensionali...

The geological profile of submerged slopes of the continental shelf typically consists of normally to lightly overconsolidated clays with depths ranging from a few meters to a few hundred meters and very low slope angles. The stability of these slopes is often investigated with pseudo-static methods by reducing the dynamic loading to an equivalent inertial force. The simplifications are such th...

It is well known that for some tasks, labeled data sets may be hard to gather. Self-training, or pseudo-labeling, tackles the problem of having insufficient training data. In the self-training scheme, the classifier is first trained on a limited, labeled dataset, and after that, it is trained on an additional, unlabeled dataset, using its own predictions as labels, provided those predictions ar...

We measured aortic pressure during clinically apparent cardiac electromechanical dissociation (EMD). Patients with pulse pressures were designated as having pseudo-EMD; those without, as having true EMD. Of the 200 patients studied, 54 presented with EMD, and 40 others developed it during resuscitation. Of the 94 with EMD, 39 were found to have pseudo-EMD. We compared the two types of EMD for e...
