We show that the one-dimensional Oslo rice-pile model is a special case of the abelian distributed processors model. The exact steady state of the model is determined. We show that the time evolution operator W for the system satisfies the equation Wn+1 = Wn where n = L(L + 1)/2 for a pile with L sites. This is used to prove that W has only one eigenvalue 1 corresponding to the steady state, an...

We apply Context-free Grammars (CFG) to measure the structural information content of a symbolic music string. CFGs are appropriate this domain because they highlight hierarchical patterns, and their dictionary rules can be used for compression. adapt approach estimate conditional Kolmogorov complexity string with concise CFG another Thus, related may compressed production first then define an ...

Abstract Ensuring the safety of existing structures is an important issue when planning and executing adjacent new foundation pit excavations. Hence, understanding stress state conditions experienced by soil element behind a retaining wall at given location during different excavation stages has been key observational modelling aspect performance By establishing carrying out sophisticated soil–...

We conducted three trials near Cairns, Australia, to compare the numbers of mosquitoes collected with the standard Encephalitis Vector Surveillance (EVS) and Centers for Disease Control (CDC) light traps with the new MosquitoMagnet (MM) and counterflow geometry (CFG) traps with the use of a 4 x 4 latin square experimental design. The MM was generally equal to the performance of the CDC and CFG ...

An efficient parsing technique for HPSG is presented. Recent research has shown that supertagging is a key technology to improve both the speed and accuracy of lexicalized grammar parsing. We show that further speed-up is possible by eliminating non-parsable lexical entry sequences from the output of the supertagger. The parsability of the lexical entry sequences is tested by a technique called...

In their recogniser forms, the Earley and RIGLR algorithms for testing whether a string can be derived from a grammar are worst-case cubic on general context free grammars (CFG). Earley gave an outline of a method for turning his recognisers into parsers, but it turns out that this method is incorrect. Tomita’s GLR parser returns a shared packed parse forest (SPPF) representation of all derivat...

impact pile driving is a multi-component problem which is associated to multi-directional ground vibrations. at first, vibration is transferred from the hammer to the pile and then to the common interface of pile and soil. this is then transferred to the environment and has great impact on the adjacent structures, causing disturbance to residents and also damage to the buildings. it is of high ...

numerous techniques have been presented by different researchers to analyze piled raft. in order to analyze pile foundation, soil can be modeled as spring, continuous medium, or porous media. pile can also be modeled as spring or continuous medium. this study includes three main stages: a short description of different types of analysis methods of pile foundation, writing a computer program bas...

Okinawan Awamori is produced by fermenting steamed indica rice with black mold, yeast, and water. Awamori-pressed lees is a by-product of the Awamori production process. Tofu lees is a by-product of the Tofu production process. This research consisted of two experiments conducted to elucidate whether or not dried Awamori-pressed lees and Tofu lees can be used as a mixed feed ingredient for rais...

The research on damages of structures that are supported by deep foundations has been quite intensive in the past decade. Kinematic interaction in soil-pile interaction is evaluated based on the p-y curve approach. Existing p-y curves have considered the effects of relative density on soil-pile interaction in sandy soil. The roughness influence of the surface wall pile on p-y curves has not bee...
