The incident directions of seismic waves can change the ground motions of slope topography.To elaborate on the influences of the directions of seismic waves, a dynamic analysis of the slope topography was performed.Seismic waves were input using an equivalent nodal force method combined with a viscous-spring artificial boundary.The Food Storage Con
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a powerful tool for evaluating the efficiency of decision-making units for ranking and comparison purposes and to differentiate efficient and inefficient units.Classic DEA Dishwasher Dump Valve models are ill-suited for the problems where decision-making units consist of multiple stages with intermediate products
The objective of this work was to extract and bleach cellulose from a low-value agricultural waste, namely, olive tree branches.The extraction procedure began by subjecting finely powdered olive tree branches to alkaline treatment, using different concentrations of sodium hydroxide solution to remove/dissolve the non-cellulosic cementing constituen
Modeling real estate prices in the context of hedonic models often involves fitting a Generalized Additive Model, where only the mean of a (lognormal) distribution is regressed on a Panama hat set of variables without taking other parameters of the distribution into account.Thus far, the application of regression models that model the full conditio
