Abstract: This study has attempted to address a challenging problem in winter road maintenance, namely road surface condition (RSC) forecasting. A novel conceptual framework for short-term road surface condition forecasting is ...

Abstract: In light of the challenges posed by climate change and rural revitalization, high-quality construction in rural areas is facing significant obstacles from rainstorm flooding. This study adopts a regional disaster system ...

Abstract: This paper describes the application of machine learning approaches for predictive modeling to improve the estimation of risks for complications of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation ...

Abstract: The laminar forced convection of a heated rotating sphere in air has been studied using a threedimensional immersed boundary based direct numerical simulation method. A regular Eulerian grid is used to solve the modified ...

Abstract: A class of semi-Lagrangian schemes has been derived for solving the advection equation. Compared with other semi-Lagrangian-type schemes, the presented schemes require less computational stencils for interpolation construction. ...

Abstract: The fundamental problem of heat and mass transfer from a slightly deformed sphere at low but finite Peclet numbers in Stokes flow is solved by a combined regular and singular perturbation method. The deformed sphere is ...

Abstract: To efficiently implement the interpolation methods (e.g., Shepard?s method and its variants) for the radar reflectivity field, a fast method that calculates the k-nearest-neighbor nodes (sampling points in radar volume ...

Abstract: This study aims to investigate the minimum voluntary safety investment through optimization of total controllable safety costs for building projects. A correlational research study was designed to achieve the research aim. ...

Abstract: The compaction degree of asphalt mixture directly affects the tensile or compressive strength of pavement, given that high elastic crumb rubber exists in asphalt rubber mixtures and the characteristics of asphalt rubber ...

Abstract: Specimen preparation methods and the resulting fabric can significantly influence the mechanical behavior of sand. To clarify the influence of specimen preparation methods on liquefaction behavior, a series of undrained ...
