In this note, we prove the generic Kobayashi volume measure hyperbolicity of singular directed varieties (X,V ), as soon as the canonical sheaf KV of V is big in the sense of Demailly.

This paper presents the Aether web application for generating, viewing and comparing extended VoID statistical descriptions of RDF datasets. The tool is useful for example in getting to know a newly encountered dataset, in comparing datasets between versions and in detecting outliers and errors. Examples are given on how the tool has been used to shed light on multiple important datasets.

expansive soils show swelling and shrinkage behavior when subjected to cyclic wetting and drying. the variation in water content influence the volume change in this kind of soil. these volume changes can cause ground movement which may result in damage to the buildings and structures. to study the behavior, a number of successive wetting-drying cycles were conducted on a statically compacted ex...

We present results from our computational efforts to determine defect characteristics via solution of inverse problems which involve the 2D wave equation in a domain which presents geometric complexities. We develop a technique for determining “optimal” placement of a receiver based on the geometry of the interrogation problem which involves a plane wave pulse and single receiver. A forward sim...
