Crawling the construction web - A machine-learning approach without negative examples
(Applied Artificial Intelligence, 2008)
Professionals and craftsmen in the construction sector make an intensive use of information in their decision-making processes but only make limited use of the abundant information, that is potentially available to them, ...
A multi-model approach to the simulation of large scale karst flows
(Journal of Hydrology, 2008)
The possible effects of water transfer through a tunnel from Fatnicko Polje to Bile a Reservoir on the hydrologic regime of the Bregava River located. in Eastern Herzegovina, in an area characterised by a predominantly ...
Providing answers to questions from automatically collected web pages for intelligent decision making in the construction sector
(Journal of Computing in Civil Engineering, 2008)
The construction sector is notorious for the dichotomy between (a) its intensive use of information in its decision-making processes and (b) its limited access to, and insufficient use of, the pertinent information that ...
Should particle trajectories comply with the transverse momentum distribution?
(European Physical Journal-Special Topics, 2008)
The momentum distributions associated with both the wave function of a particle behind a grating and the corresponding Bohmian trajectories are investigated and compared. Near the grating, it is observed that the former ...
Thermoinelasticity of Damaged Elastomers by Self-consistent Method
(International Journal of Damage Mechanics, 2008)
This study deals with an elastomer body having a random 3D distribution of two types of inclusions: spheroidal mutually parallel voids and differently oriented reinforcing parallel elastomeric stiff spheroidal short fibers. ...
Boundary element-dual reciprocity formulation for bound electron states in semiconductor quantum wires
(Computer Physics Communications, 2008)
Using the boundary element dual reciprocity method-multi-domain (DRM-MD) a bound electron states and corresponding wave functions in semiconductor quantum wires embedded in a matrix were considered. The single circular and ...
Contribution to transient analysis of inelastic steel frames with semi-rigid connections
(Engineering Structures, 2008)
Dynamic behavior of multistory flexibly connected steel frames under earthquake excitations is studied in this paper. The numerical model that simultaneously includes nonlinear connection behavior, member yielding and ...
Governing factors for motor oil removal from water with different sorption materials
(Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2008)
This paper has been focused on the sorbent efficiency for motor oil removal from water. Two types of sorbents were investigated: organic and inorganic. Natural wool fibers (NWFs) and recycled-wool-based nonwoven material ...
Punching failure mechanism at edge columns of post-tensioned lift slabs
(Engineering Structures, 2008)
A test program designed to evaluate the punching shear strength of unbonded post-tensioned lift flat slabs at edge columns is described. Three isolated specimens, which represented a part of the edge panel in the vicinity ...
