one of the main distinctions between geomaterials and other engineering materials is the spatial variation of their properties in different directions. this characteristic of geomaterials -so called heterogeneity- is studied herewith. several spatial distributions are introduced to describe probabilistic variation of geotechnical properties of soils. among all, the absolute normal distribution ...

the purpose of this study is to compare the results of different probabilistic methods such as the perturbation method, stochastic finite element method (sfem) and monte carlo method. these methods were used to study the convergence of direct approach for slope stability analysis and are developed for a linear soil behavior. in this study, two dimensional random fields are used and both the fir...

in this paper, we propose a new definition of intuitionistic fuzzyquasi-metric and pseudo-metric spaces based on intuitionistic fuzzy points. weprove some properties of intuitionistic fuzzy quasi- metric and pseudo-metricspaces, and show that every intuitionistic fuzzy pseudo-metric space is intuitionisticfuzzy regular and intuitionistic fuzzy completely normal and henceintuitionistic fuzzy nor...

In this work, we study recent advances in context-sensitive language models for the task of query expansion. We behavior existing and new approaches lexical word-based expansion both unsupervised supervised contexts. For models, Contextualized Embeddings Query Expansion (CEQE) model. introduce a model, Supervised with Transformers (SQET) that performs as classification leverages context pseudo-...

In this paper, we define the concept of probabilistic like Menger (probabilistic like quasi Menger) space (briefly, PLM-space (PLqM-space)). We present some coupled fixed point and fixed point results for certain contraction type maps in partially order PLM-spaces (PLqM- spaces).

we study umbilic (space-like) submanifolds of pseudo-riemannian space forms, then define totally semi-umbilic space-like submanifold of pseudo euclidean space and relate this notion to umbilicity. finally we give characterization of total semi-umbilicity for space-like submanifolds contained in pseudo sphere or pseudo hyperbolic space or the light cone.a pseudo-riemannian submanifold m in (a ps...

The aim of this paper is to introduce the notion of commutative pseudo BE-algebras and investigate their properties.We generalize some results proved by A. Walendziak for the case of commutative BE-algebras.We prove that the class of commutative pseudo BE-algebras is equivalent to the class of commutative pseudo BCK-algebras. Based on this result, all results holding for commutative pseudo BCK-...

Surrogate models, also referenced as metamodels, have emerged attractive data-driven, predictive models for storm surge estimation. They are calibrated based on an existing database of synthetic simulations and can provide fast-to-compute approximations the expected surge, replacing numerical model that was used to establish this database. This paper discusses specifically development a kriging...
