Empirical Performance Comparison for Symbolic and Subsymbolic Learning Systems
The paper gives a description of a comparative study of two learning systems based on symbolic and subsymbolic learning. The two systems' performance was analyzed using the overall empirical...
Implementation of Knowledge-Based GIS: A Case Study
This paper describes work almost complete at North Carolina A&T State University, whose primary purpose was to use the increased capabilities offered by geographic information...
What Do Project Managers (need to) Know About CADD?
Computer Aided Design and Drafting (CADD) is here to stay. Today's project managers are being challenged to master the use of CADD on their projects. CADD often can 'make or break' a project....
Integrating Computer Application for Pavement Management: A Case Study
This paper presents a case study of the process through which a relational database management system and stand-alone application programs are developed and integrated to form a comprehensive...
A Computerized Methodology for Conducting Pedestrian Gap Studies
this paper will detail recent improvements with the procedure the New York City Department of Transportation utilizes when conducting Pedestrian Gap Studies. These improvements were made...
Contemporaneous Development of Field Data: Transportation Construction Claim Defense
This paper addresses the continuing development of a construction field database system documenting resources applied on the jobsite by Contractors. The paper focuses on the case study...
Down Drag on Friction Piles: A Case History
The down drag settlements experienced by the foundation of a supermarket constructed in 1972 in Gretna-New Orleans, Louisiana are presented. Two different lengths of piles (12.2 m and...
Probabilistic Observation Method for Settlement-Based Design of a Landfill Cover
Uncertainties in subsurface conditions make predicting total and differential settlement a difficult task. The Observation Method, which is commonly implemented to acquire additional knowledge...
Risk-Based Analysis for Flood Damage Reduction
The traditional approach of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to flood damage reduction studies is compared to risk-based analysis, a method of performing studies in which uncertainty in...
A comparison between computed and measured bed evolution in a river bend
A shallow-water scheme with a movable bed has been employed in order to check the reliability of computations related to the bed evolution when a substantially three-dimensional phenomenon...
Threshold Precipitation Events and Groundwater Recharge
Data from two study sites on the Nevada Test Site, Nevada are used with precipitation data from other long-term precipitation gages to identify the frequency of precipitation events that...
Riparian Wetlands and Flood Stages
The paper studies concurrent flood stage records from two fourth-order streams in the hills of northwest Mississippi with similar soils, watershed relief and overall land use. The streams...
West Columbus, OH LPP Gate Closure Analysis - A Study of the Requirements for Multiple Closures
Providing flood protection by levees and/or floodwalls often requires the use of temporary closures, in lieu of the more expensive relocation of highways and railroads, in order to maintain...
Evaluating an Autoregressive Model for Stream Flow Forecasting
Daily stream discharge generated by an Autoregressive Model is helpful in the design and risk assessment of temporary riverine construction projects. This case study uses actual daily...
