when the degree of saturation at intersection approaches one, webster’s optimum cycle length equation becomes inapplicable, because the cycle length will becomes very big when the degree of saturation approaches one and will be fully unrealistic when the degree of saturation becomes greater than one. this is not a problem for hcm2000 method. but optimum cycle length calculation in this method h...

Soil nailing is a technique which used to reinforce and strengthen the existing ground conditions. This done by installing closely spaced, passive, structural inclusions known as nail into soil these nails helps improve overall shear strength of soil. The pullout resistance stress at grout-soil interface. soil-nail depends on many parameters. Among factors influencing resistance, degree saturat...

The paper presents a series of noise detection experiments in a medical problem of coronary artery disease diagnosis. The following algorithms for noise detection and elimination are tested: a saturation lter, a classiication l-ter, a combined classiication-saturation l-ter, and a consensus saturation lter. The distinguishing feature of the novel consensus saturation lter is its high reliabilit...
