Concepts-This guide summarizes the equipment, field procedures, and data processing methods used to interpret geologic conditions, and to identify and provide locations of geologic anomalies and man-made objects with the GPR method. Th...

Modem ammunition-rocket system is a complicated multidisciplinary system. During its development, undetermined factors will bring many risks. This paper elaborates the importance of risk analysis approach to ammunition-rocket system development and analyses various methods of risk analysis and estim...

A rough set method is presented in this paper to assess the credit of contractors. Unlike traditional methods, the rough set method deduces credit-classifying rules from actual data to predict new cases. The method uses a contractors' database with a genetic algorithm and an exhaustive reduction imp...

A risk assessment based adaptive ultra-short-term wind power prediction (USTWPP) method is proposed in this paper. In this method, features are first extracted from the historical data, and then each wind power time series (WPTS) is split into several subsets defined by their stationary patterns. A ...

Problem-solving processes in value management (VM) workshops in the construction industry are experience-based, and the quality of these workshops depends very much on the experience of the team members. The efficiency and effectiveness of VM workshops can be improved by better reusing the experienc...
