Authorship attribution has a range of applications in a growing number of fields such as forensic evidence, plagiarism detection, email filtering, and web information management. In this study, three attribution techniques are extended, tested on a corpus of English texts, and applied to a book in the New Testament of disputed authorship. The word recurrence interval method compares standard deviations of the number of words between successive occurrences of a keyword both graphically and with chi-squared tests. The trigram Markov method compares the probabilities of the occurrence of words conditional on the preceding two words to determine the similarity between …

Design of retaining wall needs the complete knowledge of earth pressures for both active and passive conditions. Under earthquake condition, the design requires special attention to reduce the devastating effect of this natural hazard. But under seismic condition, the available literatures mostly give the pseudo-static analytical value of the earth pressures as an approximate solution to the real dynamic nature of the complex problem. In the present work, a recently developed pseudodynamic method, which incorporates time dependent effect of applied earthquake load and effect of shear and primary waves, is applied to study effect of variation of parameters like soil …


Conveyor Trajectory Prediction Methods - A Review, David B. Hastie, Peter W. Wypych Jan 2006

The accurate design of conveyor transfers for the efficient transfer of product from one conveyor to another is of utmost importance and companies can not afford a hit and miss approach in their construction. Several key particle mechanisms occur within a transfer chute, discharge from a belt conveyor, trajectory, impact, free-fall and chute flow. This paper will focus on the prediction of product discharge and product trajectory from conveyor belts, which are the defining elements determining the flow through a conveyor transfer. There are several approaches available in the literature which will be reviewed taking into account issues such as …
