This study examines the capability of the Relevance Vector Machine (RVM) and Multivariate Adaptive Regression Spline (MARS) for prediction of ultimate capacity of driven piles and drilled shafts. RVM is a sparse method for training generalized linear models, while MARS technique is basically an adaptive piece-wise regression approach. In this paper, pile capacity prediction models are developed...

This paper comprehensively reviews seismic hazard assessment in machine foundation design and highlights key research directions for future studies. The review includes a detailed analysis of existing literature that covers wide range subjects associated with foundations. It begins an overview the evaluation procedure various factors influence it, such as soil properties, stiffness, earthquake ...

With more severe resource scarcity and environmental problems, the evaluation of circular economy in microcosmic level has become the focus of the academic world. Based on the concept of circular economy, this paper not only structures the evaluation index system of circular economy for iron and steel enterprises, builds the evaluation model of circular economy for iron and steel enterprises ba...

The relationships between geological features and rockmass behaviors under complex geological environments were investigated based on multiple intelligence classifiers. Random forest, support vector machine, bayes’ classifier, fisher’s classifier, logistic regression, and neural networks were used to establish models for evaluating the rockmass stability of slope. Samples of both circular failu...

Learning English is an important and challenging task for English as Foreign Language (EFL) students. Educators had indicated that, without proper learning support, most EFL students might feel frustrated while learning English, which could significantly affect their learning performance. In the past research, learning usually utilized grouping, but few studies have considered the difference in...

in this study, a bearing capacity device is designed and fabricated to determine the load-settlement behavior of three circular footing models resting above the ground water table. capillary rise in the studied well graded sand is measured and the level of the water table is controlled at the desired heights during each bearing capacity test. moreover, shear strength parameters and soil water r...

Using the MIPS instrument on Spitzer, we have searched for infrared excesses around a sample of 82 stars, mostly F, G, andKmain-sequence field stars, alongwith a small number of nearbyM stars. These stars were selected for their suitability for future observations by a variety of planet-finding techniques. These observations provide information on the asteroidal and cometary material orbiting t...

Over the past few years, the prevalence of web-based applications in school and at home makes learning and teaching through the Internet become an inevitable way in education. With great potentials for enriching all kinds of educational applications, web-based instruction is becoming an impressive apparatus for learning resource delivering. In this study, an asynchronous web-based language lear...

In order to solve the problem of reciprocating motion in no beam supported mining machines, putting energy saving as a starting point in Coal Bed Methane (CBM) exploitation, this paper designs a completely non-circular gear automatic reversing vertical drainage machine based on the theory of non-circular gear transmission. In the field of CBM exploitation, the use of non-circular gears is an at...

Türing’s argument that there can be no machine computing the diagonal on the enumeration of the computable sequences is not a demonstration. As well known, Türing historical article of 1936 is the result of a special endeavor focused around the factuality of a general process for algorithmic computation. As resultant formal model his famous abstract computing machine, soon called Türing machine...
