Abstract: AbstractThe study presented in this paper investigated the combined effects of environmental factors and real-time traffic conditions on freeway crash risks. Traffic and weather data were collected from a 35-km freeway ...

Abstract: Flood frequency analysis (FFA) provides an important basis for determining the construction size of hydraulic facilities. The selection of a suitable distribution and parameter estimation method (D/E procedure) is of vital ...

Abstract: This paper proposes an assembly system for ultravioletlithographie galvanik abformung (UVLIGA) parts with a robotic manipulator. Both images of base part and object part could be obtained simultaneously from an inhouse ...

Abstract: One of the most crucial functionalities of loadbearing biological materials such as shell and bone is to protect their interior organs from damage and fracture arising from external dynamic impacts. However, how this class ...

Abstract: The first-order second-moment approximation (FOSM) has been proposed to estimate the annual runoff (Q) distribution from the statistical information of annual precipitation (P), annual potential evapotranspiration (Ep), ...

Abstract: Optimizing reservoir refill operations is important for improved water use. This study developed a real-time refill operation model using scenario-based forecasts. To bridge the gap between forecast horizon and operation ...

Abstract: The existing risk-based approaches for quantifying expected flood damage loss may not be suitable in the changing environment when streamflow becomes nonstationary. Conditional value-at-risk (CVaRα), a modified form of ...

Abstract: Recent years, the sintered silver paste was introduced and further developed for power electronics packaging due to low processing temperature and high working temperature. The pressure-less sintering technology reduces ...
