Knowledge of soil hydraulic properties is important for modeling hydrological processes and related contaminant transport. This study compared four methods in analyzing single-ring infiltrometer data to estimate the saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks) and the water retention parameter (α)....

In the traditional egress model based on cellular automata, building spaces are divided into discrete grids, the size of which is usually as large as that of a pedestrian. In order to explore the influences of the grid size on the evacuation results, we studied the evacuation process using a...

In this paper we give an overview of the mostimportant characteristics of advanced implementations of interior point methods.

In this paper, a multicriterion ranking procedure based on distance between partial preorders is proposed. This method consists of two phases. In the first phase, the decision maker is asked to rank alternatives with a preorder (complete or partial) for each criterion and provide complete or...

The electricity price is the sensitive signal of the supply-demand balance and some other market incidents. The analysis of the price data can provide plenty of the market information. It is helpful for the participants to understand the market and improve future strategies. However, most of the...
