Gels are used to design bilayered structures with high residual stresses. The swelling of a thin layer on a compliant substrate leads to compressive stresses. The post-buckling of this layer is investigated experimentally; the wavelengths and amplitudes of the resulting modes are measured. A simplified model with a self-avoiding rod on a Winkler foundation is in semi-quantitative agreement with...

Fayyad and Uthursamy (2002) have stated that the majority of the work (representing months or years) in creating a data warehouse is in cleaning up duplicates and resolving other anomalies. This article provides an overview of two methods for improving quality. The first is data cleaning for finding duplicates within files or across files. The second is edit/imputation for maintaining business ...

A modified technique for the Winkler determination of dissolved oxygen has been used at the Chesapeake Bay Institute for several years. The modifications result in increased simplicity and speed and reduction in the errors due to manipulation. The unusual features of the technique are the elimination of the volumetric transfer of the final iodine solution and the reagent concentrations. The sou...

Loglinear modeling methods have become quite straightforward to apply to discrete data X. The models for missing data involve minor extensions of hot-deck methods (Little and Rubin 2002). Edits are structural zeros that forbid certain patterns. Winkler (2003) provided the theory for connecting edit with imputation. In this paper, we give methods and algorithms for modeling/edit/imputation under...

This paper presents three novel approaches of text steganography. The first approach uses the theme of missing letter puzzle where each character of message is hidden by missing one or more letters in a word of cover. The average Jaro score was found to be 0.95 indicating closer similarity between cover and stego file. The second approach hides a message in a wordlist where ASCII value of embed...

Using dynamic causal modelling (DCM), we have presented provisional evidence to suggest: (i) the mismatch negativity (MMN) is generated by self-organised interactions within a hierarchy of cortical sources [Garrido, M.I., Kilner, J.M., Kiebel, S.J., Stephan, K.E., Friston, K.J., 2007. Dynamic causal modelling of evoked potentials: a reproducibility study. NeuroImage 36, 571-580] and (ii) the MM...

This research deals with the nonlinear material and geometric behaviors of reinforced concrete deep beams resting on linear or nonlinear Winkler foundation. The finite elements through ANSYS (Release-11, 2007) computer software are used. The reinforced concrete deep beam is modeled using (SOLID 65) 8 node brick element and the soil is modeled using linear spring (COMBIN 14) element or nonlinear...
