Mapping ontologies is a crucial process when facilitating system interoperability and information exchange. Ontology Mapping systems commonly utilize string metrics in the mapping process to compare concept names. String metrics can be extended using the Winkler method, which increases the similarity value of two strings if these have a common prefix. A common occurrence for two corresponding o...

A recently published revision of the absorption cocfficienLs for oxygen in water has prompted a reinvestigation of the subject by a new microgasometric technique. A known volume of gas-free water (approximately 1 ml) was brought into contact with oxygen at constant pressure and temperature. The oxygen uptake and the amount of water were measured with a micrometer burette. The results obtained a...

Earthquakes have caused significant damage to civil engineering structures worldwide due inadequate lateral load capacity and excessive deformation of pile foundations supporting these structures. The seismic performance interacting with unsaturated soils could be affected by changes in matric suction the moisture content variation induced seasonal weather or water table fluctuations. Hence, ma...

The present study theoretically investigates the free vibration problem of a discrete granular system. This can be considered as simple model to rigorously effects microstructure on dynamic behavior equivalent continuum structural model. consists uniform grains confined by elastic interactions, take into account lateral contributions. repetitive system referred Cosserat chain or lattice with sh...
