The subordinate heuristics may be high (or low) level procedures, or a simple local search, or just a construction method. The family of metaheuristics includes, but is not limited to, adaptive memory procedures, tabu search, ant systems, greedy randomized adaptive search, variable neighborhood ...
How does this impact construction costs? If we make the mistake of comparing the pipe material costs of a length of RCP with the pipe material costs of the equivalent length of a flexible pipe (HDPE, PP, PVC, or CMP), then it appears that the RCP is more expensive. However, if we ...
It is vital to understand the importance of parasocial interactions for examining purchase intention. However, the investigation of the consequences of PSI in an emerging market context is still limited. Additionally, Lee & Lee, (2022) recommended investigating the impact of parasocial interactions ...
The latest development of this technology was the construction of the overburden conveyor bridge type “F60”. In 1989, 300 Mt lignite were produced in Eastern Germany (in both mining districts of Lusatia and Central Germany) and Lusatia was the clearly dominating mining district of the GDR [15...
could help lower the growth in flood losses that is currently projected to accompany expanding populations. Such regulations imposed on future development will need to be accompanied by investments in both relocation and retrofits for existing construction in areas where flood risk is high and/or gro...
Further, the depth-cost curves for damage calculations could be another source of uncertainty, and incorporating more empirical data into their construction could improve their reliability. 6.3. Implications for managing erosion hazards The new erosion hazard modelling framework can help support operational...
3.3. Prediction under SSP-RCP Scenarios Under each scenario, the area of grassland and construction is expected to increase significantly by 2035. These increases are primarily due to a decrease in cropland, unused land, and forests (Figure 9). Grassland areas with medium ecological value have ...
The mean hydrographs were derived for the scenarios RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5, before and after the construction of the Adjarala dam. In addition to the mean hydrographs, flow-duration curves (FDCs) were used to assess the effects of the yet-to-be-built Adjarala dam. FDCs are obtained with...
She was born Dec. 10, 1946, in Waynesville, Mo., the only child to Durward and Marie Clark. She got to see many states as a child as her father worked construction on dams. After World War II, her family settled in The Dalles in June 1953. She was a 1965 graduate of The Dalles...
Under construction. To be continued… and don’t freak out, if you were currently certified, you are still certified. But, they are looking for ways to credential trainers, not certify them. I think. This poor program is a tough one for me. Are you more likely to be under the scrutiny...
