this study aims at presenting a numerical model for predicting grout flow and penetration length into the jointed rock mass using universal distinct element code (udec). the numerical model is validated using practical data and analytical method for grouting process. input data for the modeling, including geomechanical parameters along with grout properties, were obtained from a case study. the...

The growing number of eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) projects around the world and strong interest from bodies such as Security Exchange Commission in the United States (SEC), Central European Banking Supervisors in the European Union (CEBS) or International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) in building XBRL taxonomies demonstrate the need for formalisation and methodical approac...

in this research a three dimensional model is explained which simulate the oil spill behavior inseas. this model is the developed version of previous two-dimensional study of aghajanloo et al., 2013.because of three-dimensional nature of the oil dispersion/movement in water, this is a more realistic model of oil spill transport and fate in marine environment. the model is based on eulerian appr...

existence of heavy minerals in waters in some regions causes serious environmental pollution and affects the soil and water resources quality. soil and waters sensitive to pollutants were investigated in this research, based on the degree of sensitivity of their parameters. the samples obtained from industrial and agricultural areas for identifying water tables at higher risk and display region...

Numerical taxonomy and seed storage protein analysis of Hyoscyamus species of Iran was carried out with the aim to illustrate species inter-relationship and to check the sub-generic taxonomic treatment proposed for the genus. Cluster analysis of morphological and protein data grouped the species in three separate clusters which supports the relationships of H. niger with H. reticulatus and H. k...

We present a new modeling taxonomy for computer simulation. The importance of this work centers on a cohesive approach to modeling that attempts to unify heretofore disparate modeling techniques. For example, while there exists a taxonomy for discrete event simulation, this taxonomy does not incorporate models whose execution is via continuous time increment. The modeling taxonomy has a similar...

one priority of planning at the regional level is to recognize the system of residence and particularly its urban system. one of the features of urban system in each area or country is the way of population distribution between the cities of these areas which is called city distribution size. in functional analysis of mazandaran province 41 development indexes of educational, cultural, social, ...

Domain model enhanced search-A comparison of taxonomy, thesaurus and ontology CWI's research has a theme-oriented structure and is grouped into four clusters. Listed below are the names of the clusters and in parentheses their acronyms. Domain model enhanced search-A comparison of taxonomy, thesaurus and ontology ABSTRACT This thesis investigates the use of domain models for improving electroni...
