this paper presents the effects of different amounts of reclaimed asphalt on fatigue life of asphalt mixtures. central composite method was used to design of experiments based on response surface method (rsm). binder type (pen 60/70 and pen 85/100), reclaimed asphalt pavement (rap) content (25, 50 and 75%) and loading strain (150, 250 and 350 micro strain) were selected as independent variables...

the thermal diffusion factor, at, for a binary gas mixture is calculated on the basis of nonequilibrium thermodynamics. a new formula for at is derived and this factor is given for several paris of gases according to this formula.

Precipitation forecast verification is essential to the quality of a forecast. The Gaussian Mixture Model can be used to approximate the precipitation of several rain bands and provide a concise view of the data, which is especially useful for comparing forecast and observation data. The robustness of such comparison mainly depends on the consistency of and the correspondence between the extrac...

Change detection is an important part of image interpretation and automated geographical data collection. In this paper we show a reduced rank regression mixture model for the verification of image changes detected by a human operator. Maximum likelihood estimators are used to learn the operator behaviour. Then, the operator uses the trained system to validate the image changes found. Computati...
