To understand the optimal requirement of d.lysine and threonine in White Leghorn (WL) layers (25-44 weeks), two independent experiments were executed. For d. lysine study, birds (N=528) categorized into eleven dietary groups (11×6×8) fed with different protein levels (13.36 15.78%) each containing five concentrations Lys. optimize Thr, (N=390) allotted to thirteen (13×5×6) these diets formulate...

The traditional slope stability analysis used the Factor of Safety (FS) from the Limit Equilibrium Theory as the determinant. If the FS was greater than 1, it was considered as “safe” and variables or parameters of uncertainty in the analysis model were not considered. The objective of research was to analyze the stability of natural slope, in consideration of characteristics of rock layers and...

Earth-fill dams stability in steady state seepage condition is very important, especially during earthquakes. Numerical software analyses require accurate and realistic modeling of construction stages. Since earth-fill dams are constructed in different layers, so these conditions should be considered in software modeling to achieve a reasonable design. In this study, an earth-fill dam is modele...

A methodology for reliability analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with ultra high-performance fibre (UHPFRC) tensile layers is presented. The proposed includes stochastic stress-block a section, assuming perfect bond between the RC beam and UHPFRC layer. Annual before after strengthening operation conducted. Deterioration induced by chloride corrosion incorporated into via m...

One of the central issues in making efficient use of IT in the design, construction and maintenance of buildings is the sharing of the digital building data across disciplines and lifecycle stages. One technology which enables data sharing is CAD layering, which to be of real use requires the definition of standards. This paper focuses on the background, objectives and effectiveness of the Inte...

Forest road construction is the most costly operation in forestry. Road designing and construction in unsuitable areas may increase construction and maintenance costs and also cause many environmental impacts. Therefore, it is required to pay more attention to forest road design. In this research, we tried to introduce an appropriate method for locating forest roads using GIS and AHP simultaneo...

Mg alloys have a vast usage where weight reduction is really significant since they do the features really well for materials of ultra-light weight. However, Mg is inherently a reactive metal and its alloys generally possess quite weak corrosion resistance that widely restricts their technological usages, especially in some rough service conditions. Despite, many investigations on the passive a...

these investigations indicate that the anterior layer of the renal fascia continues across the midline of the body in front of the aorta and inferior vena cava to become continuous with a similar layer on the opposite side of the body. the posterior layer of the renal fascia blends with the fascia covering the psoas major especially at the medial and lateral edges of this muscle. but, in additi...

We present a network architecture for processing point clouds that directly operates on the collection of points represented as a sparse set of samples in a high-dimensional lattice. Naı̈vely applying convolutions on this lattice scales poorly both in terms of memory and computational cost as the size of the lattice increases. Instead, our network uses sparse bilateral convolutional layers as bu...
