the available methods for predicting mechanical characteristics of pavement layers are categorized into two general groups, destructive and non-destructive. in destructive method, using coring and pavement subgrade and performing necessary experiments on them, the quantities of layers properties will be identified. in non-destructive method, the attained deflection is measured by applying the l...

Due to an increase in demand of petroleum products which are transported by vessels or exported by pipelines, oil spill management becomes a controversial issue in coastal environment safety as well as making serious financial problems. After spilling oil in the water body, oil spreads as a thin layer on the water surface. Currents, waves and wind are the main causes of oil slick transport. The...

yield prediction before harvesting is one of the tools in order to planning food production supply in future.yield prediction was carried out for wheat(triticum aestivum) using different meteorological variables with agrometeorological indices in hamedan district during 2003-04 and 2004-05. according to correlation coefficients, standard error of estimate as well as relative deviation of predic...

In this paper, we discuss dierent predictors of times to failure of units censored in multiple stages in a progressively censored  sample from proportional hazard rate models. The maximum likelihood predictors, best unbiased predictors and conditional median predictors are considered. We also consider Bayesian point predictors for the times to failure of units. A numerical example and a Monte C...

A priori wirelength prediction is an important and often addressed problem in physical design with numerous and high impact applications. In the last four decades a wide spectrum of insightful and sophisticated techniques for a priori wirelength prediction have been developed. In addition, highly accurate predictions and models have been reported for average wirelength and wirelength distributi...

Prediction on the basis of censored data is very important topic in many fields including medical and engineering sciences. In this paper, based on progressive Type-II right censoring scheme, we will discuss Bayesian two-sample prediction. A general form for lifetime model including some well known and useful models such asWeibull and Pareto is considered for obtaining prediction bounds ...
