Abstract:

The geotechnical community has since decades been acquainted with the use of statistical approach for design optimizations. This has been approved as an operational method by many practitioners in the field but is yet to see a major full-scale breakthrough and acceptance in practice. The advantage of quantifying the many different sources of uncertainties in a design is already a fairly acknowledged method and is in this report expanded for the use in the case of road embankments founded on soft soil improved by lime-cement columns. Statistical approach was adopted with practice of reliability

Abstract:

The problem of finding optimal designs in complex optimisation problems has often been solved, to a large extent by evolutionary algorithms (EAs). In many cases, these algorithms are employed as black-box methods over the design space. Black-box problems arise frequently in engineering design, and the principal barrier to the general use of EAs for those problems, is the huge number of function evaluations that is often required. This makes EAs an impractical approach when the function evaluation depends on expensive computational design analysis tools, such as computational solid mechanics an

Les discontinuités granulaires dans les ouvrages hydrauliques ou dans leur fondation constituent une source majeure d’instabilités à l’origine des phénomènes d’érosion.

A long terme, les conséquences de cette migration peut affecter la stabilité des ouvrages et peut même conduire à leur rupture. La sécurité des ouvrages en terre dépend principalement de la performance de leurs filtres, c’est-à-dire de la capacité du filtre, mis en interne

Abstract:

Since its development in the 1920s, bolting has become the most dominant support method in underground construction. However, because of the geological environment, the design process for roof bolt systems is an art rather than a science. To quantify the selection of bolting systems a MSBT (minimum solid beam thickness) approach was developed. The ultimate goal of this bolt design paradigm was achieved by optimizing bolt length, bolt density, and bolt pretension during installation. The impact of the number of strata layers within bolting range and pretension applied to bolts upon the stabilit

The current study employed a Monte Carlo design to examine whether samplebased and formula-based estimates of cross-validated R2 differ in accuracy when predictor selection is and is not performed. Analyses were conducted on three datasets with 5, 10, or 15 predictors and different predictor-criterion relationships. Results demonstrated that, in most cases, a formula-based estimate of the cross-validated R2 was as accurate as a sample-based estimate. The one exception was the five predictor case wherein the formula-based estimate exhibited substantially greater bias than the estimate from a sa

Multiple STATCOM units in proximity have been adopted in power transmission systems in order to obtain better voltage regulation and share burdens. Throughout stability assessment in this dissertation, it is shown, for the first time, that STATCOMs could interact with each other in a negative way in the small-signal sense due to their control, causing voltage instability, while loads and transmission lines showed small effects. Since this voltage stability problem is induced by STATCOMs, d-q frame impedance-based stability analysis was used, for the first time, to explore the inherent power sy

This essay is a study of the government bills for a new grading scale in the Swedish schools. There have been many complaints about the current grading scale and the main problem seems to be that teachers are interpreting the criteria for certificates differently. There are two major challenges for Swedish teachers, one is how to interpret the criteria for certificates, the other one is the equality problem , students can not be sure of that two different teachers would give the same grades. The main point of the essay is to try to find out whether the new grading scale will solve this problem

Abstract:

Acoustic modeling in state-of-the-art speech recognition systems is commonly based on discriminative criteria. Different from the paradigm of the conventional distribution estimation such as maximum a posteriori (MAP) and maximum likelihood (ML), the most popular discriminative criteria such as MCE and MPE aim at direct minimization of the empirical error rate. As recent ASR applications become diverse, it has been increasingly recognized that realistic applications often require a model that can be optimized for a task-specific goal or a particular scenario beyond the general purposes of the

Personality assessments have a long history in psychology and have become the backbone of the human capital management industry, with the Big-Five model being the most prevalent.

The present study examined faking behavior using the Assess Personality Survey (APS). Using a sample of applicant and incumbent data (N = 8,020), the objective was to identify response differ

Abstract:

MCrAlY coatings (M=Ni and/or Co) have been widely used for the protection of superalloy components against oxidation and hot corrosion in the hot sections of gas turbines. The drive to improve engine combustion efficiency while reducing emissions by increasing the operation temperature brings a big challenge for coating design. As a result, the need for improvement of MCrAlY coatings for better oxidation resistance is essential. Formation of a stable, dense, continuous, and slow-growing α-Al2O3 layer, on the MCrAlY coating surface, is the key to oxidation protection, since the protective α-Al2

Abstract:

With increasing fuel costs and the current drive to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and fuel consumption, a need to reduce vehicle weight is apparent. Weight reduction can be achieved by replacing conventionally stamped structural members with hydroformed parts. The weight reduction can be further enhanced by reducing the thickness of the hydroformed members through the use of advanced high strength steel (AHSS). A primary limitation in hydroforming AHSS, is the limited ductility or formability of these materials. This limitation becomes acute in multi-stage forming operations in w

Ultra narrow-band filters and the use of two loops in a cascade configuration dominate current clock conditioners based on phase-locked-loop (PLL) schemes. Since a PLL exhibits a low-pass transfer function with respect to the reference clock, the noise performance at very close-to-carrier offset frequencies is still determined by the input signal. Although better cleaning can be achieved with extremely narrow loops, an ultra low cut-off frequency could not be selected since the stability of the configuration deteriorates as the filter bandwidth is reduced.

One drawback in using the AIC is that it can lead to the frequent selection of overspecified models.

Abstract:

碩士<br>中原大學<br>電子工程研究所<br>92<br>Blind channel identification and equalization become important and popular in digital communication system. Since T. Kailath et al have proposed the algorithms utilizing the cyclostationary signal via oversampling the received signals or receiving signals by antenna arrays. A number of blind equalization methods based on SIMO system model and second order statistics of channel output have been developed. In this paper, we derive a new algorithm for blind equalization based on zero-forcing condition and minimum mean square error criterion. Minimizing the mean squa

Abstract:

博士<br>國立成功大學<br>工業與資訊管理學系碩博士班<br>98<br>Regression analysis has widespread application for the purpose of exploring the relationship between explanatory variables and responses in a fuzzy environment. However, in the real world, human estimation is often influential in decision-making processes, and the data provided will be fuzzy in nature. A traditional regression isn’t suitable to construct the relationship between input and output variables in a fuzzy environment. Since Tanaka et al. first proposed the fuzzy linear regression model, the concept has motivated a number of researchers’ interes

Abstract:

Structural equation models (SEMs) are commonly used in behavioral, educational, medical, and social sciences. Lots of software, such as EQS, LISREL, MPlus, and WinBUGS, can be used for the analysis of SEMs. Also many methods have been developed to analyze SEMs. One popular method is the Bayesian approach. An important issue in the Bayesian analysis of SEMs is model selection. In the literature, Bayes factor and deviance information criterion (DIC) are commonly used statistics for Bayesian model selection. However, as commented in Chen et al. (2004), Bayes factor relies on posterior model proba
