Soil scour near a bridge pier foundation is one of the leading causes failures. Traditional vibration-based monitoring methods are nearly incapable quantifying levels using single acceleration response without knowledge excitation information. In this paper, new output-only level prediction method introduced via integration an unscented Kalman filter (UKF), random decrement (RD), and newly deri...

We identify two features of common process algebra operations their rst order avour and the fact that they respect bisimulation in a uniform manner For this purpose two notions are introduced rst a notion of rst order de nable operations on process graphs and second respect for sequence extension In the rst part of the paper those rst order de nable operations are characterised whose de ning fo...

In this paper I will give a modal two-dimensional analysis of presupposition and modal subordination. I will think of presupposition as a non-veridical propositional attitude. This allows me to evaluate what is presupposed and what is asserted at different dimensions without getting into the binding problem. What is presupposed will be represented by an accessibility relation between possible w...

This search engine allows users to quickly obtain information from networks. Traditional search engines can only search the data of modal characters. To solve this problem, Image Comparison Search Engine (ICSE) makes use of “Fractal Image processing “to create a database using image Eigen values. When a user input is an image query, this system will generate image Eigen value data, compare this...

We present an experimental validation of a recently proposed solution to the problem of finding the input torque command that provides rest-to-rest motion in a given time for a one-link flexible arm. The basic idea is to design an auxiliary output such that the associated input-output transfer function has no zeros. Planning a smooth interpolating trajectory for this output imposes a unique res...
