Waste management is a complex and detailed process that involves evaluation of certain important factors, such as a geological, geotechnical, hydrological, hydrogeological, climate, urban management, environmental, along with social, cultural, and psychological parameters. Unfortunately, in Iran, there is minimal evaluation of initial parameters and in some cases even don’t exist. The purpose o...

With recent changes to the National Building Code of Canada (NBCC) in 2005 there has been an increasing demand for site classification based on dynamic shear wave velocity measurements of soil and rock. There are three seismic methods typically used for the NBCC seismic site classification; multichannel analysis of surface waves, vertical seismic profiling, and crosshole seismic testing. Typica...

With the exponential growth of both the amount and diversity of the information that the web encompasses, automatic classification of topic-specific web sites is highly desirable. In this paper we propose a novel approach for web site classification based on the content, structure and context information of web sites. In our approach, the site structure is represented as a twolayered tree in wh...
