Abstract: Educational facilities are an important part of public service facilities. The scientific planning of educational facilities is conducive to the optimal allocation of educational resources and the equalization of educational ...

Abstract: A testing procedure to diagnose whether the stochastic dynamic programming (SDP) models for reservoir operations will converge is presented. Theoretically, the stability of SDP can be diagnosed by checking whether a ...

Abstract: This paper presents and compares four types of stochastic dynamic programming (SDP) for on‐line reservoir operation, relying on observed or forecasted inflows. The models are different because of the assumptions regarding ...

Abstract: This paper formulates the derivative of buckling load with respect to intermediate constraint locations. These intermediate constraints include intermediate spring supports and pinned supports. The analysis is based on the ...

Abstract: This paper aims to estimate the probability of failure (Pf) of slope based on Chebyshev inequalities. Traditionally, for a slope reliability analysis, the supposed distribution types of shear strength parameters are employed; ...

Abstract: A model for oil-in-water emulsion has been developed in this paper. A group of viscosity coefficients transiting smoothly and incessantly from the thick film region to the thin film region is ...

Abstract: The effects of water transport through membrane electrolyte assembly of a polymer exchange membrane fuel cell on cell performance has been studied by a one-dimensional, nonisothermal, steady-state ...

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to introduce an effective way to solve the problem of nonstationary data generation. Empirical mode decomposition (EMD) algorithms have been widely used in data diagnosis. A new EMD-based data ...

Abstract: Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) is a metal three-dimensional (3D) printing method that enables large-scale structural elements with complex geometry to be built in a relatively efficient and cost-effective manner, ...

Abstract: The objective of this study was to explore the association rules influencing the frictional performance of high-friction road markings based on the skid resistance acceptance standard in excess of 65 British Pendulum Number ...
