ABSTRACT: A laboratory investigation on a scaled model of landfill liner was conducted to provide data regarding the occurrence and extent desiccation cracking prototype liners. The crack intensity factor, CIF, introduced as descriptor surficial cracking. CIF is defined ratio surface area A, total clay liner, t . computer aided image analysis program used determine CII’ values from scanned photographs process. variation related duration drying measured soil moisture suctions. this...
The hydraulic properties of compacted clay liners can be adversely affected by desiccation cracking. Previous studies evaluated the use soil additives (such as lime, cement, and sand) for crack reduction. Initial results indicated that shrinkage was reduced. However, in many cases, resulted an increased conductivity decrease plasticity. As a result, there is increasing interest fiber reinforcement, which has shown successful concrete other material applications. present investigation focused...
We perform a search for stellar streams around the Milky Way using first three years of multi-band optical imaging data from Dark Energy Survey (DES). use DES covering $\sim 5000$ sq. deg. to depth $g > 23.5$ with relative photometric calibration uncertainty $< 1 \%$. This set yields unprecedented sensitivity density field in southern celestial hemisphere, enabling detection faint heliocentric distance 50$ kpc. matched-filter color-magnitude space derived synthetic isochrone an old,...
Tests were conducted to determine the variation of water content and pore suction for compacted clayey soils. The soils had varying amounts clay fraction with plasticities ranging from low high plasticity. unsaturated soil behavior was investigated six conditions, covering a range compactive efforts contents. experimental data fit four commonly used models content-pore relationship. Each model provided satisfactory data. However, individual parameters obtained curve fits varied significantly...
ABSTRACT We present a detection of the splashback feature around galaxy clusters selected using Sunyaev–Zel’dovich (SZ) signal. Recent measurements optically have found that radius, rsp, is smaller than predicted by N-body simulations. A possible explanation for this discrepancy rsp inferred from observed radial distribution galaxies affected selection effects related to optical cluster-finding algorithms. test possibility measuring in via SZ effect data South Pole Telescope survey and...
Objectives This study examined whether high levels of television viewing are associated with attention problems and hyperactivity in preschool children. Methods Parent teacher ratings inattention, impulsivity, objectively measured activity level, parental estimation early exposure were collected for a sample Separate linear regression analyses conducted parent behavioral assessed level as outcome variables. Results indicated that after controlling demographic factors (i.e., age, sex, SES),...
Abstract Ground water flow associated with pumping and injection tests generates self‐potential signals that can be measured at the ground surface used to estimate pattern of depth. We propose an inversion accounts for heterogeneous nature aquifer a relationship between electrical resistivity streaming current coupling coefficient. recast data into Bayesian framework. Synthetic are performed showing advantage in using addition situ measurements potentiometric levels reconstruct shape table....
Labyrinth weirs present an effective solution for high discharge efficiency in space-restrictive situations. However, these exhibit negative effects (vibrations, noise, and instability) when the nappe clings to downstream surface of weir because subatmospheric pressures. Nappe breakers are used limit occurrence this behavior. Currently, only a limited number investigations have focused on performance applied circular labyrinth weirs. The study has been designed provide detailed data...
Short-term electricity price forecasting has become important for demand side management and power generation scheduling. Especially as the market is becomes more competitive, a accurate prediction than day-ahead locational marginal (DALMP) published by independent system operator (ISO) will benefit participants in increasing profit or improving load Hence, main idea of this paper to use autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) models obtain better LMP DALMP utilizing DALMP,...
Pair programming is a practice in which two programmers work collaboratively at one computer, on the same design, algorithm, or code. Prior research indicates that pair produce higher quality code essentially half time taken by solo programmers. An experiment was run to assess efficacy of an introductory Computer Science course. Student were more self-sufficient, generally perform better projects and exams, likely complete class with grade C than their counterparts. Results indicate creates...
Household flooding has wide ranging social, economic and public health impacts particularly for people in resource poor communities. The determinants outcomes of recurrent home urban contexts, however, are not well understood. A household survey was used to assess neighborhood level Detroit, MI. Survey activities were conducted from 2012 2020. Researchers collected information on past flooding, housing conditions outcomes. Using the locations homes, a "hot spot" analysis performed find areas...
Labyrinth weirs provide higher discharge capacity than conventional weirs, with the ability to pass large flows at comparatively low heads. are primarily used as spillways for dams where spillway width is restricted. In recent years, many research investigations have considered hydraulic performance of labyrinth particularly dependent on geometric features. The previous work has improved design basis such weirs. However, their still requires experimentally derived and generalized curves. It...
