The analysis involved the use of existing hydraulic conductivity model developed from laboratory data and applied to lateritic soils, considering variations in soil parameters. Plots of reliability indices versus coefficients of variation were first made for hydraulic conductivity as well as for initial ...

Here this approach is extended to the case of a multi-principal- element phase by applying a set of order parameters, Zi, for i ¼ 1 to n elements, which are distributed on two equivalent sublattices (see Methods). The order parameters will now range from À 1 to 1, and Equation ...
Along the line of previous work, this study proposes a robust method to estimate travel time distributions in urban road networks by using low-frequency FCD. Different from previous work, the path travel time distribution in this study is formulated as the sum of deterministic link travel times,...
TSS is a threshold-dependent evaluator (equal to sensitivity + specificity − 1), which not only retains the advantages of kappa, but also corrects the disadvantages of kappa's susceptibility to species distribution. The thresholds of the three evaluation indexes are from 0 to 1, and the ...
The measurements were made at the positions determined previously but 1 mm in front of the transducer surface (in z-direction). The transducer was driven with a wave generator (Array 3400, Array Electronic Co., Taiwan, China) using s 20 Vpp sine tone-burst; the received data were recorded...
The sample was a commercial coin-type lithium-ion rechargeable battery VL2020, made by Panasonic Corporation. This battery had a diameter of 20 mm and a thickness of 2 mm; it was composed of a V2O5 positive electrode (800 µm in thickness), LiAl alloy negative electrode (300 µm in ...
