Structural Engineering: Seeing the Big Picture
The state-of-the-art of progress of structural engineering over the last 50 years is examined in three areas: (1) The spatial idealization of structural elements in the form of kinematical assumptions; (2) The constitutive idealization of materials in the form of generalized stresses and generalized strains relations; and (3) The computational implications of solution strategy in the form of cl...
متن کاملAssessing Blinding in Clinical Trials
The interaction between the patient’s expected outcome of an intervention and the inherent effects of that intervention can have extraordinary effects. Thus in clinical trials an effort is made to conceal the nature of the administered intervention from the participants in the trial i.e. to blind it. Yet, in practice perfect blinding is impossible to ensure or even verify. The current standard ...
متن کاملSeeing the Big Picture: A Digital Desktop for Researchers | THETA
rethink the way they interact with data to discover new knowledge. One of the many challenges of big data is how to visualize very large datasets. With sophisticated software, extremely large datasets can be reduced to more understandable graphical summaries. However, these data reduction methods can make it difficult to observe unexpected phenomena at the limit of detectability. In the case of...
متن کاملA stratified traffic sampling methodology for seeing the big picture
This work explores the use of statistical techniques, namely stratified sampling and cluster analysis, as powerful tools for deriving traffic properties at the flow level. Our results show that the adequate selection of samples leads to significant improvements allowing further important statistical analysis. Although stratified sampling is a well-known technique, the way we classify the data p...
متن کاملSeeing the Big Picture: Deep Embedding with Contextual Evidences
In the Bag-of-Words (BoW) model based image retrieval task, the precision of visual matching plays a critical role in improving retrieval performance. Conventionally, local cues of a keypoint are employed. However, such strategy does not consider the contextual evidences of a keypoint, a problem which would lead to the prevalence of false matches. To address this problem, this paper defines “tr...
