This paper introduces a methodology for soil slope stability analysis based on optimization, limit equilibrium principles and method of slices. In this study, the slope stability analysis problem is transformed into a constrained nonlinear optimization problem. To solve that, a Self-Adaptive Genetic Algorithm (GA) is utilized. In this study, the slope stability safety factors are the objective ...

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using a homologous combination of antiserum raised against testosterone-3-0-carboxymethyloxime-bovine serum albumin (T-3-0-CMO-BSA ) and penicillinase-labelled T-3-0-CMO was developed. This assay was utilized to measure testosterone in serum samples of male and female subjects. The sensitivity of the assay is 50pg/well and the antibody developed crossrea...

The purpose of this article is to investigate the divergent approaches of Iranian couples towards purchasing activities. A questionnaire comprising 55 items was distributed among 400 couples in shopping centers in order to examine their decision-making styles. Analyses conducted included scale reliabilities and validities, as well as EFA and CFA were utilized. Seven decision making styles among...

Nowadays, Alkali Aggregate Reaction is considered as one of the most dangerous weak points of concrete and its occurrence has been widely reported in various structures. In the current study, a program is developed for predicting and examining the effects of mentioned reaction on the three-dimensional analysis of concrete structures such as arch dams. In this regard, a program provided for dam ...

4D printing is a cutting-edge technology that allows for the creation of dynamic, self-assembling structures by utilizing cutting edge, newly introduced smart materials. It builds upon traditional 3D adding dimension time, allowing printed objects to change shape or behavior over time. This achieved through use materials, such as memory alloys polymers, which respond external stimuli heat moist...

Deep learning has gained attention from researchers, and numerous models utilizing deep have been proposed. In this study, YOLOv5 model utilized identify objects aid determining movement conditions. However, li...

In this paper, we investigate the multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problem based on the arithmetic and geometric aggregation operators with hesitant fuzzy linguistic information. Then, motivated by the idea of traditional arithmetic operation, we have developed some aggregation operators for aggregating hesitant fuzzy linguistic information: hesitant fuzzy linguistic weighted average (...
