The lower structure of a building construction consists foundation and layer soil to support the load upper construction. condition under is closely related behavior itself when it receives loads, for example failures that occur in sub-grade embankment foundation, namely too soft so carrying capacity withstand small, as result settlement occurs large. So must be strong, stable, safe, does not d...

Abstract This paper develops a theory of footing in Harmonic Serialism (HS; Prince & Smolensky 1993/2004; McCarthy 2000, 2016) where Con contains only directionally evaluated constraints (Eisner 2002; Lamont 2019, 2022 , b ). Directional harmonically order candidates by the location violations rather than total number violations. A central result adopting directional evaluation is that cons...

Hebbian and competitive Hebbian algorithms are almost ubiquitous in modeling pattern formation in cortical development. We analyse in theoretical detail a particular model (adapted from Piepenbrock & Obermayer, 1999) for the development of Id stripe-like patterns, which places competitive and interactive cortical influences, and free and restricted initial arborisation onto a common footing.

The fundamental lower bounds on the thermodynamic energy cost of measurement and information erasure are determined. The lower bound on the erasure validates Landauer’s principle for a symmetric memory; for other cases, the bound indicates the breakdown of the principle. Our results constitute the second law of “information thermodynamics,” in which information content and thermodynamic variabl...

As a result of the importance foundation in engineering construction, it is important to investigate bearing capacity construction soils, this study therefore investigated soils Ayedaade Local Government Area, southwest Nigeria. To achieve aim study, soil samples were collected from selected 20 sites area. Using standard procedures, preliminary and geotechnical tests such as natural moisture co...
