Three-dimensional model is established with finite difference method to simulate construction process based on design and construction plans of existing overpass pile foundation adjacent to certain large-section railway tunnel in Chengdu, China. Ground, isolation pile, main bridge pier and ramp pile near the tunnel are taken as research object, and surface settlement amount, displacement change...

The PilE protein is the major component of the Neisseria meningitidis pilus, which is encoded by the pilE/pilS locus that includes an expressed gene and eight homologous silent fragments. The silent gene fragments have been shown to recombine through gene conversion with the expressed gene and thereby provide a means by which novel antigenic variants of the PilE protein can be generated. We hav...

Abstract A new system of multiple dynamic strain sensors and accelerometers embedded in test piles provides direct synchronous measurement of force and acceleration at various locations within a pile during high strain dynamic pile testing. This instrumentation system creates an opportunity to explore side and end bearing pile resistance distribution with a higher level of confidence and reliab...

This New Year, the ®rst of the New Millennium, sees an important landmark in the development of Comparative and Functional Genomics (CFG). CFG is no longer a specialised section of Yeast, but is now a journal in its own right (or is that write?). Yeast subscribers should not fear, they will continue to receive complimentary copies of CFG throughout 2001. What it does mean is that CFG will recei...

LR parsing is a popular parsing strategy for variants of Context-Free Grammar (CFG). It has also been used for mildly context-sensitive formalisms, such as Tree-Adjoining Grammar. In this paper, we present the first LRstyle parsing algorithm for Linear ContextFree Rewriting Systems (LCFRS), a mildly context-sensitive extension of CFG which has received considerable attention in the last years.

The process includes in hand tagged corpus, tree annotation on paper for large corpus, NU-FAST Treebank in form of brackets, extraction of CFG through NU-FAST Treebank, evaluation of PCFG from CFG and then PDCG from PCFG for inspection/testing through PROLOG parser.

Laboratory measurements were undertaken to investigate wave and current velocities in the vicinity of a wind turbine monopile foundation, in order to inform environmental impact assessments and to quantify flow variability in the region of the power take off cable. Flow measurements were made up to 15.5 pile diameters (D) downstream of the pile. Measurements were also taken around the perimeter...

Background: In Canada, pregnant women are typically referred to Canada’s Food Guide (CFG), a set of national dietary recommendations designed to promote adequate nutrient intake. Pregnant women are also advised to gain weight within the Institute of Medicine guidelines, which differ by prepregnancy body mass index (BMI). However, CFG recommendations do not account for prepregnancy BMI and provi...

Grouped and single pile behavior differs owing to the impacts of the pile-to-pile interaction. Ultimate lateral resistance and lateral subgrade modulus within a pile group are known as the key parameters in the soil-pile interaction phenomenon. In this study, a series of experimental investigation was carried out on single and group pile subjected to monotonic lateral loadings. Experimental inv...

This paper describes an algorithm for accelerating the CFG-parsing process by using dependency (or modiier-modiiee relationship) information given by, for instance, dependency estimation programs such as stochastic parsers, user's indication in an interactive application, and linguistic annotations added in a source text. This is a method for enhancing existing grammar-based CFG-parsing system ...
