To study the evolution of geological hazard sources waste dump slopes under rainfall conditions, a physical model rainfall-affected slope was designed. The apparent resistivity rock and soil mass at different times measured via high-density method, formation process internal disaster obtained. variation characteristics rain-affected were analyzed when it had weak surface crack development. Base...

Three sample information retrieval systems, archie, autoLib, and WAIS, are compared as to their expressiveness and usefulness — first, in the general context of information retrieval, and then as prospective software reuse repositories. While the representational capabilities of these systems are limited, they provide a useful foundation for future repository efforts, particularly from the pers...

Architectural designers use a wide variety of reasoning and decision-making aids such as rules, prototypes and specific examples. In this paper we discuss how we have structured cases in a case-based design aid called ARCHIE to allow designers to navigate through the database in a flexible manner yet maintain links between general statements and specific examples. In particular, we focus on the...
