Sediments recovered from Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) holes undergo elastic rebound and physical expansion when recovered from great depths below the seabed (about 75 m). This expansion contributes to the artificial “growth” of the composite depth section (Hagelberg et al., 1992). Sediment elastic properties, derived from one-dimensional consolidation tests, are used to correct the expanded sed...

To study the influence of consolidation stress ratio and history on 1-D permeability saturated clay, one-dimensional tests were carried out with GDS triaxial device. The results indicated that coefficient void normally overconsolidated clay decreased increase under different ratios but same history. And amount final sample’s compression increased ratio. Under condition history, was smaller than...

Land consolidation is the basis of making the land arrangement special plan, meanwhile, land consolidation sub area, ascertaining land consolidation item and setting land consolidation indices are mainly depended on land consolidation potentiality, so it is necessary to do this research. As the most important pattern of land consolidation, potential evaluation of cultivated land consolidation i...

in this study, the incomplete gamma function, an exponential function, a mixed-log function and a polynomial function were evaluated to describe the lactation curve in moroccan holstein-friesian dairy cows. data from 1990 to 1999, comprising 77130 monthly milk yields of 6029 dairy cows in 280 dairy herds, were used. edits were carried out by considering the lactation length (5 d and

the friction properties of granular materials play an important role in the determination of specifications for designing hoppers, transporting passages, dryers, silos and machines through which grain flows. in this study, the angle of repose and internal friction coefficient were determined for three common wheat varieties (sardary, gaspard and saysoter) at four moisture contents (12, 15, 18, ...

purpose previous studies have shown that physical activity improves learning and memory. present study was performed to determine the effects of short term and long term treadmill exercise on learning, memory consolidation and retrieval of passive avoidance learning in an animal model. methods in this study fifty male wistar rats with 3-4 months of age were randomly divided into five groups (n=...

maintenance treatment for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (aml) in remission has recently been controversially discussed and even abandoned by several groups. an analysis of 16 published multicenter trials, however, revealed the highest probabilities of relapse free survival (rfs) in the range of 35-42 % at 4-5 years only in patients assigned to maintenance treatment when adult age and int...

The Cloud Computing model leverages virtualization of computing resources allowing customers to provision resources on-demand on a pay-as-you-go basis. During recent years, the power consumption of datacenters in cloud environment attracted researchers. Optimization of energy consumption can be performed by different methods including virtual machine (VM) consolidation. This technique can reduc...
