This paper describes the development of a
model to analyse the rate of infiltration and run-off
experienced by a partly saturated soil slope during
rainfall. The paper first reviews some of the most
popular infiltration ...
The recorded rate at which water infiltrates into a soil is influenced by the physical condition of the soil, current and previous uses of the soil and the method and equipment used to record the infiltration rate. Soil’s ...
Bang-bang phase-locked loops (BBPLLs) are inherently nonlinear due to the hard nonlinearity introduced by the binary phase detector (BPD). This paper provides an exact
statistical analysis of the steady-state timing jitter ...
In sectors with cumulative and complementry technologies, some rms build patent portfolios in order to block their competitors' access to the technology and/or to negociate cross licensing agreements. We propose a dynamic ...
The European Union’s (EU) Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) aims to increase the
energy performance (EP) of buildings by requiring EU Member States to develop an EP calculation
methodology and to certify ...
he paper describes a field trial of the use of a simple statistical ‘extrapolation' technique for the determination of design load effects in existing bridges. Deflections were measured directly using lasers in the Foyle ...
This research has two eventual goals: (1) To optimize performance of subsurface constructed wetlands for removal of phosphorus (P) (2) To demonstrate that dewatered alum sludge (a by-product), can be reused as a constructed ...
Pb isotopic data from K-feldspars in Middle Triassic (Anisian) sandstones in the Wessex Basin, onshore southwest UK, and the East Irish Sea Basin, some to the north, show that the same grain populations are present. This ...
The amplitude-encoding case of the double random phase encoding technique is examined by defining a cost function as a metric to compare an attempted decryption against the corresponding original input image. For
the case ...

Rules of Origin (RoO) are essential components of any preferential trade agreement
(PTA) short of a full customs union. The recent proliferation of PTAs has led to increased
interest in the effects of RoO with empirical ...
