The present study compared the performance of soldier pile and concrete bearing pad anchored wall facings. Using Abaqus finite element software, two case studies have been precisely represented for the facing designs and effects of the parameters of soil type, spacing of anchors and facings, surcharge and facing sizes were investigated. The analysis results indicate that the soldier pile method...

Previous approaches to comparing gene and chromosome organization between two genomes have been based on genetic maps or genomic sequences. We have developed a system to align an FPC-based physical map to a genomic sequence based on BAC end sequences and sequence-tagged hybridization markers and to align two FPC maps to one another based on shared markers and fingerprints. The system, called Sy...

In inertial-based pedestrian navigation, anchors can effectively compensate the positioning errors originating from deviations of Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs), by putting constraints on pedestrians' motions. However, these anchors often need to be deployed beforehand, which can greatly increase system complexity, rendering it unsuitable for emergency response missions. In this paper, we pr...

In today's dynamic and uncertain career context, values play an important role for career choice and lifelong career self-management. Values are desirable goals that are sought by individuals to satisfy their needs and are important for understanding career orientations in terms of protean and boundaryless career orientations and career anchors. However, how career orientations or career anchor...

Kandogan introduced the concept of star coordinate projection in 2000 [1]. To illustrate the idea behind 2DSCP, consider an example data point of dimension 8 given by 0.98]. 0.95 0.06 0.869 0.01 0.43 37 . 0 [ = A The dimensional anchors for 2DSCP are shown in Fig. 1. The dimensional anchors multiplied by the dimension values for data point ‘A’ are shown in Fig. 2. As shown in Fig. 2, each...
