For evaluating quality of electrical insulation, it is necessary to measure the property of insulators. Dielectric constant and loss tangent (tans) are two important parameters for determining the property of insulator. The measurement of above parameters is normally based on the time- domain and frequency-domain, which is costly and time consuming. In this study a multiple-frequency binary se...

Identification and mapping of the significant alterations are the main objectives of the exploration geochemical surveys. The field study is time-consuming and costly to produce the classified maps. Therefore, the processing of remotely sensed data, which provide timely and multi-band (multi-layer) data, can be substituted for the field study. In this study, the ASTER imagery is used for altera...

The increasing complexity of construction, along with its rapid development, as well as ambiguities and gaps in the legal terms governing constructions, lack of trust in the parties regarding obligations and regulations are the main reasons of disagreements in domestic projects. These disagreements are inevitable even in contracts which are set correctly. Disagreements are costly, time-consumin...

Abstract. Landslide is one of the most common natural disasters triggered mainly due to heavy rainfall, cloud burst, earthquake, volcanic eruptions, unorganized constructions roads, and deforestation. In India, field surveying method used identify potential landslide regions update inventories maintained by Geological Survey but it very time-consuming, costly, inefficient. Alternatively, advanc...

In order to obtain the soil water retention curve of an unsaturated soil which is defined as the relationship between water content and suction, extensive laboratory tests are essential. These laboratory tests are usually costly and time consuming. Moreover, for most practical problems, it has been found that approximate unsaturated soil properties are adequate for analysis. Thus, empirical pro...

Each system has its own definition of reliability. Reliability in mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET) could be interpreted as, the probability of reaching a message from a source node to destination, successfully. The variability and volatility of the MANET configuration makes typical reliability methods (e.g. reliability block diagram) inappropriate. It is because, no single structure or configurat...

discrimination between iron deficiency (ida) anemia and β-thalassemia trait (β-tt) is a time consuming and costly problem. because, they have approximate similar effects on routine blood test indices, in some cases, the complementary tests, which are expensive and time consuming, would be needed for differentiate the anemia. complete blood count (cbc) is a fast, inexpensive, and accessible medi...

Alternative splicing is a phenomenon that gives rise to multiple mRNA transcripts from a single gene. It is believed that a large number of genes undergoes alternative splicing. Predicting alternative splicing events is a problem of great interest to biologists, as it can help them to understand transcript diversity. Supervised machine learning approaches can be used to predict alternative spli...
