ABSTRACT: This paper presents the settlement analysis of a beam resting on geosynthetic reinforced granular fill-soft soil system. Each subsystem of the reinforced fill-soil system is idealized by elastic membrane, Pasternak shear layer, Winkler springs and dashpots, as applicable. The suggested model incorporates various aspects of the behavior of the geosynthetic-reinforced granular fill-soft...

Bundled gap filling exercises (Wojatzki et al., 2016) were recently introduced as a promising new exercise type to complement or even replace single gap-fill tasks. However, it is not yet confirmed that the applied creation method works properly and it is still to be investigated if bundled gap-fill tests are a suitable method for assessing language proficiency. In this paper, we address both i...

In KDD procedure, to fill in missing data typically requires a very large investment of time and energy often 80% to 90% of a data analysis project is spent in making the data reliable enough so that the results can be trustful. In this paper, we propose a SVM regression based algorithm for filling in missing data, i.e. set the decision attribute (output attribute) as the condition attribute (i...
