Shallow Soil Mixing (SSM) is a sister technology to Deep Soil Mixing (DSM) developed to more economically improve soils within ten meters of the surface. SSM was recently utilized to provide a foundation for large effluent storage tanks as well as to contain foundation soils in the event of liquefaction from an earthquake. Two large storage tanks were required to be built in a pulp mill. The on...

It is well known that lesions affecting the trigeminal nerve may lead to the development ofneurotrophic keratitis (Magendie, I 824), but the incidence and the extent of the keratitis seen by biomicroscopic examination of the cornea, and in particular its effect upon visual acuity, are not well documented. The present study was undertaken to investigate these aspects of keratitis, in corneae ren...

Hydrological models require accurate precipitation and air temperature inputs in order to adequately depict water fluxes and storages across Arctic regions. Biases such as gauge undercatch, as well as uncertainties in numerical weather prediction reanalysis data that propagate through water budget models, limit the ability to accurately model the terrestrial arctic water cycle. A hydrological m...

The natural language sentence generation program Penman provides computational technology for generating English sentences and paragraphs, starting with input specifications of a non-linguistic kind. The research goals underlying Penman are threefold: to provide a useful and theoretically motivated resource for other research and development groups and the computational community at large, to p...

Channel estimation problem is one of key technical issues in time-variant multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems. To estimate the MIMO channel, least mean square (LMS) algorithm was applied to adaptive channel estimation (ACE). Since the MIMO channel is often described by sparse channel model, such sparsity could be exploited and then estimation performance could be improve...

Sparse channel estimation problem is one of challenge technical issues in stable broadband wireless communications. Based on square error criterion (SEC), adaptive sparse channel estimation (ASCE) methods, e.g., zero-attracting least mean square error (ZA-LMS) algorithm and reweighted ZA-LMS (RZA-LMS) algorithm, have been proposed to mitigate noise interferences as well as to exploit the inhere...

The recommended Penman±Monteith reference crop evapotranspiration (ET0) with derived crop coef®cients (Kc) from the phenomenological stages of Acala cotton is used to estimate the crop water requirements (CWRs) of Acala cotton in the Gezira area of Sudan. The published basal crop factors of Acala cotton were used with Penman±Monteith equation as well to estimate ET. The results were compared wi...
