The flanged, barbell, and rectangular squat reinforced concrete (RC) walls are broadly used in low-rise commercial highway under overpasses. shear strength of is the major design consideration because their smaller aspect ratio. Most current codes or available published literature provide separate sets capacity equations for walls. Also, a substantial scatter exists predicted due to large discr...

Abstract Assessment of water surface profile in compound channels is essential for flood defence systems. Agriculture and development activities floodplains affect the floodplain shape over length, leading a converging channel. Few laboratory investigations proved overbank flow floodplains. Therefore, innovative precise approaches are still great demand. In this paper, new approach has been pro...

This research based on record and collected data from four stations at Eymir Lake, Turkey, which are monitored daily in seven months. Water quality monitoring using former methods are time-needed and expensive, while the application of gene expression programming is more understandable, rapid, and reliable which is used in this article to provide a prediction for dissolved oxygen. The concentra...

The classifier system XCSF was modified to use gene expression programming for the evolution and functioning of the classifier conditions. The aim was to fit environmental regularities better than is typically possible with conventional rectilinear conditions. An initial experiment approximating a nonlinear oblique environment showed excellent fit to the regularities.

Gene Expression Programming (GEP) aims at discovering essential rules hidden in observed data and expressing them mathematically. GEP has been proved to be a powerful tool for constructing efficient classifiers. Traditional GEP-classifiers ignore the distribution of samples, and hence decrease the efficiency and accuracy. The contributions of this paper include: (1) proposing two strategies of ...

As the major proteins of adult keratinocytes, keratins provide biochemical markers for exploring mouse epidermal embryogenesis. Here, we used a modified method of whole-mount in situ hybridization to track skin-specific expression of endogenous keratin mRNAs throughout embryogenesis. To monitor transcriptional regulation, we coupled this with beta-galactosidase expression of a human epidermal k...

conclusions the gp40/15 gene, which was cloned in the pet28a+, was successfully expressed and produced in e. coli. therefore, this protein can be used in future studies to develop recombinant vaccines and diagnostic kits. methods in this experimental study, the gp40/15 gene sequence was extracted from genbank (no. af155624) and cloned in the pet28a+ plasmid. colony polymerase chain reaction (pc...
