The mechanical behaviour of sedimentary rocks is conditioned by the interactions at grain-grain contacts. We present a micromechanics digital rock workflow based on cohesive contact model and introduce general parameterization that can capture two extreme behaviours: free grains fixed grains, as well any intermediate degree grain consolidation. With this parametric model, we simulate wide range...

This chapter will discuss and present examples of Internet database tools, typical instructional methods used with the tools, and implications for Internet-supported action research as a progressively deeper examination of teaching and learning. ActION rEsEArcH AND tHE scOrM Perhaps nowhere is the Internet database tool more critical today than in upgrading military readiness. Since 1997, the U...

Multistrategy learning systems are systems that employ multiple methods to solve learning problems. In many multistrategy systems, either the user or the system selects a single method to use on the current problem. At best, such a selection-type multistrategy learning system can solve the union of the problems solvable by the individual learning methods it contains. Another strategy is to have...

Communities with high levels of social capital are likely to have a higher quality of life than communities with low social capital (Coleman, 1988, 1990; Putnam, 1993, 2000). This is due to the greater ability of such communities to organize and mobilize effectively for collective action because they have high levels of social trust, social networks, and well-established norms of mutuality (the...

Resistive bridging faults in combinational CMOS circuits are studied in this work. Circuit-level models are abstracted to voltage behavior for use in voltage-level fault simulation and test generation. Fault simulation is done using different test sets in order to study their effectiveness. Test generation is done to detect the highest possible bridging resistance for each fault. Different test...
