It is widely acknowledged that structural design, new construction technology, maintenance, monitoring and testing remain core aspects of civil engineering [...]

A combined heat and power (CHP) system powered by methane gas is modelled and analyzed in this study. The Thermolib MATLAB extension is used to model the system by graphically connecting the Thermolib standard components through fluid flows. An exerg...

This study is focused on the analysis of pore space connectivity in reservoir rocks. This parameter is of vital importance for the oil and gas industry since it controls hydraulic permeability. Five methods of rock physics are used for this goal. Thr...

In seasonally frozen soil regions, the influence of temperature change on reinforced-soil engineering cannot be ignored. In particular, the mechanical properties of the reinforced-soil interface have an important impact on the overall stability and l...

The work reports on the development of a detailed noise current model for a low-noise capacitive feedback transimpedance amplifier (TIA) in CMOS. The proposed TIA circuit implements the programmable-gain using an array of discretely controlled feedba...

After the construction of desert highway, the physiognomy changes caused by surface wind erosion and accumulation not only seriously threaten the stability of road structure, but also have a tremendous impact on the safety of the highway operation an...

While transcranial ultrasound imaging is a promising diagnostic modality, it is still hindered due to phase aberration and multiple scattering caused by the skull. In this paper, we compare near-field phase-screen modeling (PS) to a geometry-based ph...

Symbolic execution is well known as a dynamic vulnerability discovery technique. Its greatest advantage is the capability to analyze the execution information of the program and to explore the path in the program deterministically. This is a more acc...

Data imbalance is a common problem in classification tasks. The Mahalanobis-Taguchi system (MTS) has proven to be promising due to its lack of requirements for data distribution. The MTS is a binary classifier. However, multi-classification problems...

In many European countries and also in Slovenia, the highway network was rapidly built in order to reduce congestion and to increase the level of traffic safety on congested sections of the road network, thus enabling a higher level of service and ac...
