Selection Of Design Strengths Of Untreated Soil Subgrades And Subgrades Treated With Cement And Hydrated Lime, David Q. Hunsucker, Tony L. Beckham
Selection Of Design Strengths Of Untreated Soil Subgrades And Subgrades Treated With Cement And Hydrated Lime, David Q. Hunsucker, Tony L. Beckham
Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report
Selection of design strengths of soil subgrades and subgrades treated with cement or hydrated lime is a problem in pavement design analysis and construction because a variety of different types of soils may exist in a highway corridor and a wide range of different strengths may exist after the soils are compacted to form the pavement subgrade. The selected subgrade strength will largely affect the pavement thickness obtained from the design analysis, the future pavement performances, and the overall bearing capacities of the subgrade during construction and the pavement structure after construction. In developing the proposed selection scheme, a newly …
Route Fatality Risk As A Measure Of Travel Death Risk, Kopl Halperin, Jim Redman
Route Fatality Risk As A Measure Of Travel Death Risk, Kopl Halperin, Jim Redman
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
The authors examine the route fatality Risk of routes in Erie County, PA and show that some pose a disproportionately high-Risk to users. They argue that transportation safety could be greatly increased by relatively small expenditures and suggest that the most cost-effective Risk amelioration is speed limit control.
Design Of Distortion-Invariant Correlation Filters Using Supervised Learning, Samuel Peter Kozaitis, Rufus H. Cofer, Wesley E. Foor
Design Of Distortion-Invariant Correlation Filters Using Supervised Learning, Samuel Peter Kozaitis, Rufus H. Cofer, Wesley E. Foor
Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Faculty Publications
We designed binary phase-only filters from a training set of images using a statistical approach. We forced images into clusters and designed filters to recognize objects from that cluster. We report on results obtained by computer simulation comparing the performance of filters to recognize objects from clusters of one and two classes.

Photovoltaic-Powered Water Pumping-Design, And Implementation: Case Studies In Wyoming, Badrul H. Chowdhury, S. Ula, K. Stokes
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
A photovoltaic-powered water pumping project comprising of several rural electric cooperatives and their customers is described in detail. A number of remote water pumping installations in the state of Wyoming, USA, are currently operating as a result of this project. The design, installation and performance monitoring of these systems are discussed. In general, it can be stated that PV-powered water pumping in this state has been a cost-effective alternative to distribution line extension or other conventional means of water pumping. Customer satisfaction, in terms of functional adequacy and low maintenance requirements of these systems, is high. The benefit for the …
