An Estimated Correlation between California Bearing Ratio (CBR) with some Soil Parameters of Gypseous Silty Sandy Soils

open access: yesTikrit Journal of Engineering Sciences, 2020
California Bearing Ratio (CBR) value represents the main soil characteristic factor for paving design of flexible pavements & paving of airport sites. It should be used to determine subgrade modulus of crust soil layer, by using certain correlations.

Algorithm for Adapting Cases Represented in a Tractable Description Logic [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Case-based reasoning (CBR) based on description logics (DLs) has gained a lot of attention lately. Adaptation is a basic task in the CBR inference that can be modeled as the knowledge base revision problem and solved in propositional logic.

Strength and Deformation Behavior of Fine-Grained Soils Reinforced with Hair Fibers and Its Application in Pavement Design

open access: yesJournal of Natural Fibers, 2022
Although waste hair fibers are consumed in agricultural and pharmaceutical industries, etc., their use in civil engineering is very limited. Because of fibrous nature, it can be used as reinforcement material in soil for sustainable development, similar ...

Cracking the Code: Genotype–Phenotype Correlation Models in Sarcoglycanopathies

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Sarcoglycanopathies are among the most severe limb‐girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMD), though milder presentations have been described. These diseases are primarily caused by missense variants, but the limited predictability of their effect on protein maturation, complex formation, and transport has hindered reliable genotype ...

Choroid Plexus Enlargement and USPIO‐Based Inflammatory Feature in Cerebral Small Vessel Disease

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The choroid plexus (CP) is a key component of the blood–cerebrospinal fluid barrier (BCSFB), but its mechanism of action in cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) remains unclear. This study investigated CP volume (CPV) alterations and their association with conventional imaging markers in CSVD and explored the underlying role of ...

Predictors of long-term knowledge retention in the driver theory test

open access: yesScientific Reports
To obtain a driver’s licence, one must successfully complete a practical driving test and a theory test. Although the theory test is widely regarded as an important element of driving competence, little is known about the predictors of theory test ...
