In this study, fuzzy logic was implemented to formulate the fuzziness of layer boundaries for a two-layered clay soil. A field of two-layered clay with fuzzy boundaries between layers was generated, and then the bearing capacity of strip footing on this field was calculated by the assumption of plane-strain conditions. The Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion was used and bearing capacity calculation...

One of the most important parameters in evaluating a watermarking algorithm is its capacity. Generally, watermarking capacity is expressed by bits per pixel (bpp) unit measure. But this measure does not show what the side effects would be on image quality, watermark robustness and capacity. In this paper we propose a three dimensional measure named Capacity surface which shows the effects of ca...

Abstract This article mainly introduces that, as the proportion of renewable energy to total consumed increases further, with large-scale development and construction new energy, local power grid may face problem conflicting consumption in future, original transmission lines will no longer meet demand. For this reason, dynamic capacity increase technology is used calculate load real-time. Throu...

An antiferromagnetic system on a 2-D triangular lattice leads to geometric topological frustration. This ideal system has been the subject of theoretical investigations. One experimental realization of this system is the compound Cs2CuCl4. Various magnetization, heat capacity, neutron scattering and NMR studies have identified several magnetic transitions when the magnetic field is applied alon...

Temperature profiles of the first and the second moment of the nematic order parameter distribution function, as determined from the deuteron nuclear magnetic resonance line shapes, as well as heat capacity response, provide support for the supercritical scenario of the nematic-paranematic phase transition in liquid single crystal elastomers. The relative strength of the locked-in internal mech...

BACKGROUND People with stroke have a low peak aerobic capacity and experience increased effort during performance of daily activities. The purpose of this study was to examine test-retest reliability of a portable ergospirometry system in people with stroke during performance of functional activities in a field-test. Secondary aims were to examine the proportion of oxygen consumed during the fi...
