Abstract:

Soil liquefaction during earthquakes is a phenomenon that can cause tremendous damage to structures such as bridges, roads, buildings, and pipelines. The objective of this research is to develop an energy-based approach for evaluating the potential for liquefaction triggering. The current state-of-practice for the evaluation of liquefaction triggering is the "simplified" stressbased framework where resistance to liquefaction is correlated to an in situ test metric (e.g., normalized standard penetration test N-value, N1,60cs, normalized cone penetration tip resistance, qc1Ncs, or normalized sm

Abstract:

In the context of sustainable development, evaluations have particularly high relevance as complex issues have to be dealt with generally over an extended period of time. Furthermore, there is a growing demand to evaluate against the concept of sustainable development. Especially evaluations with sustainable development are a rather new type of evaluation, as the source of its evaluation questions and the criteria applied are rooted in the concept of sustainable development. Sustainability of a specific project or process is often highly case specific as sustainable development is determined b

Abstract:

This study evaluates an automated formant estimation procedure designed to adapt to speakers and variations in speech. The adaption is achieved by using the formant ceiling with the least variation (in combined estimates of F1 and F2) as the optimal ceiling. This optimization renders the best possible estimations given the data, therefore it could presumably also adapt to variations such as high fo. The procedure has not been evaluated by using material with known formant frequencies. Therefore, this is done here. The performance of the procedure is tested through comparison with a common proc

Abstract:

Due to its ubiquitous availability, Short Message Service (SMS), first introduced in the 1980s, became not only the most popular way of communication, but also stimulated the development of SMS-based value added services. This application-to-person traffic is delivered to end users through SMS aggregators who provide the link between service providers and mobile carriers. In order to perform optimal traffic routing, the aggregators need to estimate the quality of each potential international route to the specified destination. The evaluation criteria include end-to-end delivery time, as well a
