Do we need a fundamental change in our professional culture and knowledge foundation for control automation? If so, what are necessary critical steps must take to ensure such would place effectively efficiently, or more general, smoothly sustainably?

The determination of the bearing capacity pile foundations is very important for their design. Due to high uncertainty various factors between and soil, many methods predicting ultimate focus on correlation with field tests. In recent years, artificial neural networks (ANN) have been successfully applied types complex issues in geotechnical engineering, among which back-propagation (BP) method ...

Mathematical models play an increasingly important role in science and engineering. In this paper, we present the WoM , a platform for building up knowledge repositories for searching, exploring, combining, and sharing such models. In contrast to similar efforts, WoM supports a well-defined semi-structured representation for mathematical models, which acts as a solid foundation for intelligent ...

Access control is the cornerstone of information security and integrity, but the semantic diversity of object models makes it di cult to provide a common foundation for access control in objectoriented systems. This paper presents a primitive capability-based access control architecture that can model a variety of authorization policies for object-oriented systems. The architecture described is...

We propose to study the impact parameter dependence of the Λ/p ratio in Pb(160AGeV)+Pb reactions. The Λ/p ratio is a sensible tool to distinguish between hadronic cascade models and hydrodynamical models, which incorporate a QGP phase transition.

This paper is the second in a series that details the thermodynamically constrained averaging theory (TCAT) approach for modeling flow and transport phenomena in porous medium systems. In this work, we provide the mathematical foundation upon which the theory is based. Elements of this foundation include definitions of mathematical properties of the systems of concern, previously available theo...
