This paper presents an improved reinforced concrete steel bar deterioration model that incorporates pitting corrosion and considers the change in after-cracking corrosion rate to assess the time-dependent seismic fragility of RC bridge substructures in marine environments. The proposed deterioration model is applicable for both existing and new RC bridge substructures and could be employed for life-cycle...
Presently TCAD simulation of single photon avalanche diode (SPAD) cannot directly obtain the important performances of SPAD. In this paper, we propose a new simulation method combining TCAD simulation with the numerical computation, which can exactly predict the statistical performances of SPAD such as Quantum Detection Efficiency (QDE), Dark Count Rate (DCR) and Afterpulsing Probability (AP). This...
With the overwhelming increase in the amount of data on the web and data bases, many text mining techniques have been proposed for mining useful patterns in text documents. Extracting closed sequential patterns using the Pattern Taxonomy Model (PTM) is one of the pruning methods to remove noisy, inconsistent, and redundant patterns. However, PTM model treats each extracted pattern as whole without...
