slope stability analysis is an enduring research topic in the engineering and academic sectors. accurate prediction of the factor of safety (fos) of slopes, their stability, and their performance is not an easy task. in this work, the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (anfis) was utilized to build an estimation model for the prediction of fos. three anfis models were implemented including g...

although the term psychosomatic is used in a wide range of contexts – from media to clinics – no exact definition of the term exists that even practitioners and experts of different schools in this domain agreed on. this may be due to its intertidisciplinary, multisystemic, and evolutionary nature. psychosomatic medicine is an approach to health which deals with the beliefs, narratives, relatio...

We compare several adaptive design strategies using a data set of 223 M2AX family of compounds for which the elastic properties [bulk (B), shear (G), and Young's (E) modulus] have been computed using density functional theory. The design strategies are decomposed into an iterative loop with two main steps: machine learning is used to train a regressor that predicts elastic properties in terms o...

Learning Management Systems (LMSs) are used in many (educational) institutes to manage the learning process. Adaptive Learning Environments (ALEs) offer support for the learning process through adaptive guidance and perhaps also personalized learning material (content). GRAPPLE offers a new infrastructure that brings both together. This is done through single sign-on, a common User Model Framew...

In this paper, new numerical modeling of material flow in the thermo-mechanical friction stir welding process is presented. In this numerical model, the discretization in space is derived by the meshfree Galerkin method using a Lagrangian meshfree convex approximation. The discrete thermal and mechanical equations are weakly coupled as the time advances using a forward difference scheme. A mort...

in this paper an adaptive pid controller for wind energy conversion systems (wecs) has been developed. theadaptation technique applied to this controller is based on reinforcement learning (rl) theory. nonlinearcharacteristics of wind variations as plant input, wind turbine structure and generator operational behaviordemand for high quality adaptive controller to ensure both robust stability an...

Aim. Of the research is to create a new highly productive initial material of buckwheat with increased resistance adverse environmental factors. Actuality. According its biological nature, combines high productivity potential relatively low and, it would seem, inconsistent yield. Historically, in Ukraine has become almost national cereal crop, which remains among important products for food sec...
