Gaussian models are frequently used for road elevations. However, these models are often only valid for short sections of the road. Here we present a comprehensive approach to describe various aspects of road surface/elevation by using extensions of Gaussian models arising from random gamma distributed variances. These random variances result in the Laplace distribution and thus we refer to the so

One of the most important constraints on large-scale civil engineering projects is economic feasibility. All projects are restricted by the cost of construction and materials. A cost analysis of alternative foundation designs for wind turbines is done in this work to aid the choice of design solution. The suitability of different foundation types are compared including a novel solution, with a cir

Background: Comorbidity of bipolar disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder is common in adolescence. Obsessive-compulsive disorder symptoms may be episodic and secondary to alterations in mood, and display specific features. Management of pediatric bipolar disorder-obsessive-compulsive disorder is challenging, as pharmacotherapy of obsessive-compulsive disorder may induce or exacerbate manic ep

Ethylene is a fuel considered for high-speed ram- and scramjet combustion applications, mainly because of the short ignition delay time resulting from its high reactivity. Further research and development on these combustion systems would benefit from simulations of large eddy (LES) type, which allow some chemical detail to accurately predict combustion characteristics and pollutant formation. In

Over the last few decades, DNA sequencing has developed from costing billions of dollars to get the complete sequence of the human genome, to being a routine procedure performed in labs all around the world. This has transformed the field of experimental biology since measurements can be done at a level of detail that was not possible before. Still, the relationship between genotype and low-level

Amphiphilic in nature, lipids spontaneously self-assemble into a range of nanostructures in the presence of water. Among lipid self-assembled structures, liposomes and supported lipid bilayers have long held scientific interest for their main applications in drug delivery and plasma membrane models, respectively. In contrast, lipid-based multilayered membranes on solid supports only recently begin

There is a significant interest in scene reconstructionfrom underwater images given its utility for oceanic researchand for recreational image manipulation. In this paperwe propose a novel algorithm for two view camera motionestimation for underwater imagery. Our method leveragesthe constraints provided by the attenuation propertiesof water and its effects on the appearance of the color todetermin

In this paper we study the problem of automatically generatingpolynomial solvers for minimal problems. The maincontribution is a new method for finding small eliminationtemplates by making use of the syzygies (i.e. the polynomialrelations) that exist between the original equations. Usingthese syzygies we can essentially parameterize the setof possible elimination templates.We evaluate our method o

For life time estimation, it is desirable to capture the lowering of yield strength and premature failure that some alloys exhibits when subjected to hydrogen. For this, a mechanism based material model has been developed to simulate the hydrogen enhanced localized plasticity (HELP) for the superalloy IN718. The model accounts for the increase in mobility of moving dislocations during plastic defo

A search is performed for new phenomena in events having a photon with high transverse momentum and a jet collected in 36.7fb-1 of proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of s = 13 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The invariant mass distribution of the leading photon and jet is examined to look for the resonant production of new particles or the presen
