Abstract: Some scores for yes/no forecasts discussed in a paper by Woodcock (1976) are further considered. An expression for a probability p0 is found for any score such that the expected value of the score is maximized if the event ...

Abstract: Existing research on smart contracts in construction primarily concentrates on their operational stage and the mechanics of their potential operation. The response to the question “Can we do it?” is a resounding yes. The ...

Abstract: A methodology was developed for assessing student performance with respect to program outcomes and course objectives using available graded coursework. The methodology uses a matrix formulation to relate individual coursework ...

Abstract: Various methods for the production of bulk nanostructured (NS)/ultrafine-grained (UFG) materials have been developed, including equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE), a form of severe plastic ...

Abstract: Large-eddy simulations of a free convective atmospheric boundary layer with an overlying capping inversion are considered. Attention is given to the dependence of the results upon the various factors influencing the ...

Abstract: Plunge pool scour depths are normally assumed to be dependent on unit flow

Abstract: The Brier and ranked probability skill scores are widely used as skill metrics of probabilistic forecasts of weather and climate. As skill scores, they compare the extent to which a forecast strategy outperforms a (usually ...
