Soil strata delineation is a fundamental step for any geotechnical engineering design. The dynamic penetration test (DPT) fast, low cost in situ that commonly used to locate boundaries between of differing density and driving resistance. However, DPT data are often noisy typically require time-consuming, manual interpretation. This paper investigates probabilistic method enables dissimilar soil...

• Four types of temperature sampling are compared for scaling precipitation extremes. The peak structure remains in the extreme precipitation‐temperature relationship. IMERG’s daily rate is close to observation. Against expectations, 30-min precipitations much smaller. This study explores sensitivity (termed factor, SF) and 30-minute extremes with several variables, i.e., within-day surface air...

Twenty-two surface sediment samples were collected from Visakhapatnam harbour, east coast of India, and analysed for monophenyltin (MPT), diphenyltin (DPT), triphenyltin (TPT), total bacteria, and TPT tolerant bacteria. Concentrations of MPT, DPT and TPT varied between 1-26, 3-28, and 0.31-145 ng Sn g(-1) dry wt, respectively. Phenyltin concentrations were influenced by ship related activities,...

We study hysteresis for a two-dimensional, spin-1/2, nearest-neighbor, kinetic Ising ferromagnet in an oscillating field, using Monte Carlo simulations. The period-averaged magnetization is the order parameter for a proposed dynamic phase transition (DPT). To quantify the nature of this transition, we present the first finite-size scaling study of the DPT for this model. Evidence of a diverging...

The Discrete Polynomial Transform (DPT) has been introduced recently as a computationally eecient algorithm for estimating the phase parameters of constant-amplitude polynomial phase signals. In this note we present a modiication of the DPT, which improves the estimation accuracy. We show by a perturbation analysis that the mean-squared error of the estimates is reduced when the order of the po...

DPT, a combination vaccine against diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis is available since many years and still continued in the national immunisation schedule of many countries. Although highly potent, reactions to DPT vaccine are well known, mainly attributed to the factors like Pertussis component, aluminum adjuvant and lower purity of tetanus and diphtheria toxoids. The latter most important a...

Two recent reports(l,2) suggest that Canadian children receiving preschool (fifth) dose of diphtheria-pertussis-tetanus (DPT) vaccine may be experiencing severe local adverse reactions at a higher rate than previously. In Alberta<>, reports of severe local reactions after the fourth or fifth dose of DPT increased from 25 in 1984 to 484 in 1986. A survey completed in Alberta in 1987(l) of over 6...

Monte Carlo simulations have been performed to investigate the dependence of the dynamic phase behavior on the bilinear exchange anisotropy of a classical Heisenberg spin system. The system under consideration is a planar thin ferromagnetic film with competing surface fields subject to a pulsed oscillatory external field. The results show that the films exhibit a single discontinuous dynamic ph...

Doctor of physical therapy (DPT) graduates are expected to be competent in professional behaviors, communication, critical inquiry, clinical decision making, and evidence-based practice. The purpose of this qualitative study was to describe the experience of students enrolled in a single, problembased learning (PBL) course within a conventional lecture-based transitional DPT (tDPT) program. Stu...
