Design method for quantifying embankment safety against lateral spreading and determining contribution of basal reinforcements
(Elsevier, 2020-06)
This study proposes an analytical method for the calculation of the safety factor against lateral spreading in embankments, both for cases with and without basal reinforcement. Hence, a new limit equilibrium approach is ...
Performance analysis of MIMO NLOS UV communications over atmospheric turbulence channels
(IEEE, 2016)
Strong molecular and aerosol scattering in ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths enable the non-line-of-sight (NLOS) outdoor wireless connectivity which is attractive in many applications due to covertness and security. In the ...
From passive to active pitch regulation of wind turbines: Optimization method with numerical validation
(ASME, 2015)
An optimization method that changes the control strategy of the Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT) from passive- to active-pitch has been developed. The method aims to keep the rated power constant by adjusting the blade ...
Measurement of the transverse momentum spectrum of the Higgs boson produced in pp collisions at √s=8 TeV using H → WW decays
(Springer Nature, 2017-03)
The cross section for Higgs boson production in pp collisions is studied using the H → W+W− decay mode, followed by leptonic decays of the W bosons to an oppositely charged electron-muon pair in the final state. The ...
Mass and pole residue of Yb(10890) state with JPC = 1−− at finite temperature
(AIP Publishing, 2019)
The status of the hidden beauty state Y-b is not clear up to now. The deviations from the expected behavior can provide a clue to consider it as an exotic meson candidate. Assuming the Y-b resonance as a tetraquark, we ...
Grey market e-shopping and trust building practices in China
(Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd., 2008)
In the last decade, the wide use of the Internet, particularly through the proliferation of broadband, has dramatically changed the behaviour and lifestyle of many people. China, as a fast-growing emerging economy with a ...
Introduction
(Cambridge University Press, 2012)
Optical wireless communications is a dynamic area of research and development. Combining fundamental theory with a broad overview, this book is an ideal reference for anyone working in the field, as well as a valuable guide ...
Search for heavy Majorana neutrinos in μ±μ± + jets events in proton–proton collisions at source =8TeV
(Elsevier, 2015-09)
A search is performed for heavy Majorana neutrinos (N) using an event signature defined by two muons of the same charge and two jets (μ±μ±jj). The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb−1 of proton–proton ...
Learning from experience in nonlinear environments: Evidence from a competition scenario
(Elsevier, 2015-09)
We test people’s ability to learn to estimate a criterion (probability of success in a competition scenario) that requires aggregating information in a nonlinear manner. The learning environments faced by experimental ...
Benchmarking regression algorithms for income prediction modeling
(IEEE, 2015)
This paper aims to predict incomes of customers for banks. In this large-scale income prediction benchmarking paper, we study the performance of various state-of-the-art regression algorithms (e.g. ordinary least squares ...
