Analysis of concrete damage during testing by explosive charges
Vojnotehnički Glasnik, 1996 The results of a new testing method for the determination of concrete strength under pressure using small quantities of explosive charges are given. The method is based on the measurement of the crater size on a concrete surface after explosion.

Self-adaptation of mutation distribution in evolutionary algorithms [PDF]
, 2007 This paper is posted here with permission from IEEE - Copyright @ 2007 IEEEThis paper proposes a self-adaptation method to control not only the mutation strength parameter, but also the mutation distribution for evolutionary algorithms. For this purpose,

Quantitative Models for the Effects of Differential-pressure Manometer Scale Resolution and Hot-wire Voltage Measurement Bit Depth on Gaussian Fluctuation Characteristics [PDF]
Journal of Applied Fluid MechanicsA rigorous analytical framework quantifies the influence of instrument resolution on flow-velocity statistics. Differential-pressure fluctuations recorded by a Pitot tube are assumed Gaussian, whereas pressure-transducer graduations are treated as a ...

Generalised discretisation of continuous-time distributions
The Journal of Engineering, 2020 In this study, the definition of discretisation that was proposed recently for continuous-time distributions is made applicable not only to ordinary functions but to a variety of distributions including weak derivatives such that they could be viewed ...

Higher order moments of the density field in a parameterized sequence of non-gaussian theories [PDF]
, 1998 We calculate the higher order moments in a sequence of models where the initial density fluctuations are drawn from a chi^2_nu distribution with a power-law power spectrum.

K-L Divergence Based Image Classification and the Application [PDF]
Journal of Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics, 2021 Image classification is widely used in many fields. Traditional metric learning based classification methods always maximize between-class distances and minimize within-class distances based on features calculated from each individual.

3D Face Reconstruction From Single 2D Image Using Distinctive Features
IEEE Access, 2020 3D face reconstruction is considered to be a useful computer vision tool, though it is difficult to build. This paper proposes a 3D face reconstruction method, which is easy to implement and computationally efficient. It takes a single 2D image as input,

Effects of vertical ship exhaust plume distributions on urban pollutant concentration – a sensitivity study with MITRAS v2.0 and EPISODE-CityChem v1.4 [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2022 The modeling of ship emissions in port areas involves several uncertainties and approximations. In Eulerian grid models, the vertical distribution of emissions plays a decisive role for the ground-level pollutant concentration.
