A new approach is proposed to evaluate the non-limit active earth pressure in c–? soil based on horizontal slices method and limit equilibrium method, which takes into account arching effect, displacement, mobilized friction angle, tension cracks, shear stress of layer. The accuracy was demonstrated by comparing experimental results other theoretical methods. comparison showed that appropriate ...

throughout the present research, squash (cucurbita pepo) slices (0.4 cm thickness and 4 cm diameter) were blanched in a steam chamber for 4 min. following cooling to room temperature, the squash slices were dehydrated by use of a hotair dryer, under air temperature of 60°c up to moisture content of 0.1065 kg h2o per kg d.m. squash slices of specified weights were rehydrated by immersion in dist...

  The effects of chronic morphine administration on the development of long-term potentiation (LTP) were investigated at the Schaffer collateral-CA1 pyramidal cell synapses of the rat hippocampal slices using primed-bursts tetanic stimulation. Significant enhancement of orthodromic population spike (OPS) was found for all stimulus intensities after tetanic stimulation. OPS enhancement was great...

In this paper, we propose a new method for morphing between two polygonal, possibly non-simply connected, shapes in the plane. The method is based on reconstructing an xy-monotone surface whose extreme cross-sections coincide with the given shapes. The surface generated by our algorithm does not contain any self-intersections, does not change the topologies of the input slices, does not contain...

In cat striate cortex, patchy horizontal axonal projections link columns of similar orientation specificity. To assess the physiological correlates of such clustered projections, a new multisite stimulation technique was used to functionally map the pattern of horizontal synaptic inputs onto single layer 2/3 cells within tangential slices of developing ferret visual cortex. Twenty-four separate...

We consider scalable randomized algorithms for many common tensor operations, including tensor multiplication, low-rank decomposition and nuclear norm minimization. Such operations arise in a number of modern day applications of tensors in machine learning and signal processing. Specifically, we introduce polynomial time algorithms that employ a small number of lateral and/or horizontal slices ...

This paper is concerned with the defuzzification of the discretised generalised type-2 fuzzy set. In 2008 Liu proposed the α-Plane Representation — a decomposition of the generalised type-2 set into horizontal slices termed ‘α-planes’. An α-plane is akin to an interval type-2 fuzzy set. The α-Plane Representation must be used in conjunction with an interval defuzzification method: The three mai...

The computations performed within cortex are likely to be determined by its internal dynamics in addition to its pattern of afferent input. As a step toward characterizing these dynamics, we have imaged electrical activity in slices from rat primary visual cortex stained with the voltage-sensitive dye di-4-ANEPPS. In response to electrical stimulation two fluorescence signals of similar maximum...
