This paper presents the results of two triaxial compression tests performed on approximately 9×10 3 oblate spheroids (lentils) with different initial orientations respect to loading axis (approximately 30° and 60°). Typical stress-strain information is complemented x-ray tomography scans every 1 % strain. Starting from an labelling particles, a new technique used obtain unprecedented detail tra...

While the recognition of language rights is slow to progress, with incremental development technologies, an increasing number solutions makes enforcement fundamental members linguistic feasible. Although these developments are be welcomed, such technologies inherently ’biased’ in sense that developed primarily for ’larger’ or more powerful minorities. This situation opens new cleavages besides ...

Multi-task learning (MTL) improves the prediction performance on multiple, different but related, learning problems through shared parameters or representations. One of the most prominent multi-task learning algorithms is an extension to support vector machines (svm) by Evgeniou et al. [15]. Although very elegant, multi-task svm is inherently restricted by the fact that support vector machines ...

Complex scientific data is becoming the norm, many disciplines are growing immensely data-rich, and higher-dimensional measurements are performed to resolve complex relationships between parameters. Inherently multi-dimensional measurements can directly provide information on both the distributions of individual parameters and the relationships between them, such as in nuclear magnetic resonanc...
