While ASTM E119-07a is commonly employed to establish a fire rating for a fire resistive material (FRM)/steel assembly, the test method provides little quantitative information on either the thermophysical or adhesion properties of the FRM, beyond indicating that they are sufficient to achieve the measured rating. As part of the Building and Fire Research Laboratory (BFRL) Structural Performanc...

this research compared ratings of task performance and contextual performance from three different sources: self, peer, and supervisor. participants were service industry employees in the service industries in yogyakarta, indonesia. a sample of 146 employees and 40 supervisors   from the service industries provided ratings of task performance and contextual performance. the results indicated th...

simultaneous thermal analysis (sta) method has been applied to study decomposition reactions of ap under a flowing nitrogen atmosphere and static air. results obtained indicate that a phase transformation occurs prior to the decomposition reaction. decomposition takes place exothermally in two stages, first stage of decomposition could be suppressed by the controlled heating programme. addition...

The mechanical properties of certain flexible core materials ship structure sandwich panels, having skins made metallic or composite laminates maybe significantly influenced by the temperature variations that may occur during operational loading. At same time, improving knowledge behaviour these panels in terms bending strength and other stress/strain related aspects various harsh conditions in...

The development of algorithms for online Collaborative Filtering (CF) in the past few years enables to add new rating data to existing models. The Recommender System (RecSys) task changes from calculating recommendations from a static and finite dataset to continuously processing rating data. Instead of using stream processing frameworks to implement CF algorithms, we present a prototype that e...

| This report studies rating systems: systems that produce quantitative measures, called \rat-ings," of the ability of players in a league, based on game results. By \quantitative", it is meant that win odds for a game between two players in the league may be estimated from their ratings. We consider both`static' and`dynamic' systems. The latter update the ratings after each game. Attention is ...
