the purpose of this study is to examine different scenarios for implementing operations in the pre-construction phase of a project, based on several competing criteria with different importance levels in order to achieve a more efficient execution plan. this paper presents a new framework that integrates discrete event simulation (des) and data envelopment analysis (dea) to rank different scena...

Evolution of an osteoma may result in neurosensory detachment, deossification, and choroidal neovascularization (CNV). The authors report a rare case of choroidal osteoma with CNV associated with a deep non-conforming focal choroidal excavation. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina. 2017;48:944-947.].

We report on spectroscopic observations of periodic comet 9P/Tempel 1 by the Alice ultraviolet spectrograph on the Rosetta spacecraft in conjunction with NASA’s Deep Impact mission. Our objectives were to measure an increase in atomic and molecular emissions produced by the excavation of volatile sub-surface deceased May 11, 2005

Problems in deep excavations are full of uncertain, vague, and incomplete information. In most instances, successfully solving such problems depends on experts' knowledge and experience. The primary object of this research was to propose an “Evolutionary Support Vector Machine Inference Model (ESIM)” to predict wall deformation in deep excavation in Taipei Basin. ESIM is developed based on a hy...

This paper reviews the results of more than a hundred small archaeological “test pit” excavations carried out in 2013 within four rural communities in eastern England. Each excavation used standardized protocols in a different location within the host village, with the finds dated and mapped to create a series of maps spanning more than 3500 years, in order to advance understanding of the spati...
