Scientific theories are hard to find, and once scientists have found a theory H, they often believe that there are not many distinct alternatives to H. But is this belief justified? What should scientists believe about the number of alternatives to H, and how should they change these beliefs in the light of new evidence? These are some of the questions that we will address in this paper. We als...

During the past decade, the appreciation and understanding of how bacterial cells can be organized in both space and time have been revolutionized by the identification and characterization of multiple bacterial homologs of the eukaryotic actin cytoskeleton. Some of these bacterial actins, such as the plasmid-borne ParM protein, have highly specialized functions, whereas other bacterial actins,...

To improve the water damage resistance performance of a tuff asphalt mixture, mixture with cement and liquid anti-stripping agent was used as research object, limestone mixtures without additives were selected contrast samples. Through an improved boiling test stability before after aging, modification effect different types contents on evaluated to obtain appropriate type content additives. On...

To evaluate the influence of vehicle load and driving speed on permanent deformation characteristic asphalt mixture in high temperature rainy areas, Hamburg wheel tracking test was conducted under different conditions by changing load, loading frequency environment. The coupling effect moisture, overload discussed. Meanwhile, three kinds anti-rutting agents commonly used engineering were select...

Basics We will use the following parameters: • n, the security parameter.

Working memory capacity is one of the most important learner's characteristics that can be used as an input parameter for personalizing learning in order to improve the learning process. Therefore, knowing learner’s working memory capacity and personalizing the learning contents according to learner’s working memory capacity levels are important research issues. This paper proposes an approach ...

Present paper deals with the development of a Mechanistic-Empirical model strain-based design perpetual road pavement using Odemark's principle. The bituminous which can withstand minimum traffic 300 msa has been classified as in this paper. considered three-layered system top layer mix followed by unbound granular materials rest on soil subgrade. constituent thickness determined limiting radia...
