Using CBR to improve the usability of numerical models
In this thesis we show that CBR systems can be constructed from numerical models, so as to improve their usability. It is shown that CBR models may be queried in a flexible manner, and that the user may formulate queries consisting of constraints over both “input” and “output” variables of the …

Development of Mechanistic Flexible Pavement Design Concepts for the Heavyweight F-15 Aircraft (Airfield, Computer Design, Cbr, Algorithms)
A new configuration of the F-15 aircraft has been developed and is in use by the U.S. Air Force. This heavyweight F-15 has a 30-kip/355-psi wheel loading. A heavier-weight F-15 with 36-kip/395-psi wheel loading has been proposed for use. The F-15 will become the controlling aircraft for design of …

An investigation of the feasibility of a CBR approach to the design of sand castings in the foundry industry
… the foundry industry by a case-based reasoning (CBR) approach. The research answers four basic questions. These have been organised into a primary question and three subsidiary questions. The primary question asks: Is it possible to automate the retrieval processes that a Methods Engineer uses in …

An investigation into establishing a generalised approach for defining similarity metrics between 3D shapes for case-based reasoning (CBR)
… casting design problem in Case-Based Reasoning (CBR). This research investigates a new approach for improving the quality of casting design advice achieved from a CBR system using casting design knowledge associated with past cases. The new approach uses enhanced similarity metrics to those used …

Development and validation of a stress-based procedure for the design of military flexible pavements
… Corps of Engineers California Bearing Ratio (CBR) design methodology. The CBR design methodology has its roots on a very simple, but still reasonable theoretical approach, where the pavement is modeled by a single layer system described by the Boussinesq half-space stress model. The objective …

Conceptualizing the consumer-brand relationship as a truly dyadic process
The consumer-brand relationship (CBR) has gained interest in recent years, but as currently conceptualized, it is limited to a parasocial relationship where the role of the brand is not acknowledged. In order to better understand the CBR, we have to ask several key questions: (1) What is the CBR? …

Puncture resistance of geotextiles and evaluation of the g-rating classification system
… terms of the G-Rating, which is the product of CBR and drop cone puncture test results. CBR and drop cone puncture tests were conducted on 24 geotextiles to provide up-to- date results, and to evaluate the G-Rating. CBR puncture tests using modified plungers were also conducted to assess the …

A new strategy for case-based reasoning retrieval using classification based on association
Cased Based Reasoning (CBR) is an important area of research in the field of Artificial Intelli-gence. It aims to solve new problems by adapting solutions, that were used to solve previous similar ones. Among the four typical phases - retrieval, reuse, revise and retain, retrieval is a key phase in …

Quantitative Investigations of Infection and Colonization of Peanut Roots by Cylindrocladium crotalariae
Cylindrocladium black rot (CBR) is a destructive root disease of peanut caused by Cylindrocladium crotalariae. New and quantitative approaches were developed to estimate the inoculum potential for this soil-borne pathogen under soil-temperature tank conditions favorable for CBR development. Using …

Reviewing evaluation reports of community-based rehabilitation programmes in South Africa
CBR (community-based rehabilitation), a relatively new discipline, was initiated in South Africa in the 1980s. The methodology used in this study is that of a quantitative document analysis to gain a deeper understanding of CBR practice in South Africa. Two evaluation documents and one annual …

A universal framework to evaluate community-based rehabilitation interventions
Community-based rehabilitation (CBR) aims to improve the quality of life for people with disabilities by promoting social inclusion and equal opportunities. Despite its widespread use, there is no standardised framework to evaluate CBR interventions, particularly in low- and middle-income countries …
