the dynamic probe is an effective tool used in site investigation. it is more economic than the use of direct drilling, particularly in explorations with moderate depth. this paper presents an experimental study to investigate the capability of using dynamic probing to evaluate the shear strength and compaction percent of fine soil. a series of dynamic probe tests were carried out at 6 differen...

In Iran, using the hand excavated pits (wells) have been more common compared to other countries. As a matter of fact, recent years, utilizing the dynamic probing test (DPT) in these types of pits has been significantly developed in Iran. This is while the standard state of doing this test is from the ground level. In this work, the dynamic probing test is carried out in two similar wells with ...

This paper addresses testing of compressed structures, such as shells, that exhibit catastrophic buckling and notorious imperfection sensitivity. The central concept is the probing of a loaded structural specimen by a controlled lateral displacement to gain quantitative insight into its buckling behaviour and to measure the energy barrier against buckling. This can provide design information ab...

A confidential and effective probing is fundamental to a cooperative and cognitive wireless network. Previous seminar works are not deadline sensitive, and often suffer from highly dynamic multi-channel environments. As they focus more on transmitting packets with the optimal channel, resources are not efficiently used when sufficient channels are available in multi-radio multi-channel systems....

This paper presents a distributed channel probing scheme for wireless networks. By transmitting a probing signal in a channel and measuring the signal-to-interference ratio (SIR), a wireless node can estimate channel admissibility and predict its required transmission power without fully powering up. The channel probing scheme can be used as part of a distributed channel allocation algorithm, a...

statement of problem: among periodontal defects, the furcation involvement represents one of the most chalenging scenarios due to the difficulty of achieving a predictable improvement regardless of the type of periodontal therapy. moreover, the presence of furcation involvement has been demonstrated to considerably affect tooth prognosis. thus, treatment of furcation defects is a challenge in c...
