Efficient Bayesian analysis of spatial occupancy models
… used Intrinsic Conditional Autoregressive (ICAR) prior model to specify the spatial random effect in our sampler. We also develop OccuSpytial, a statistical package implementing our Gibbs sampler in the Python programming language. The aim of this study is to highlight the computational …

Describing the rheology of vibrated, no-slump concrete for application in 3D-printing construction
… growth tests and flow curve tests using an ICAR (International Center for Aggregate Research) rheometer and the slump test was conducted on each mixture. The ICAR rheometer was not capable of characterizing no- and low-slump concrete mixtures. It was found that the yield stress of concrete …

Bayesian Factor Models for Clustering and Spatiotemporal Analysis
… assigned intrinsic conditional autoregressive (ICAR) priors. Therefore, we call our approach the Dynamic ICAR Spatiotemporal Factor Models (DIFM). Our second model, Bayesian Clustering Factor Model (BCFM) assumes latent factors and clusters are present in the data. We apply Gaussian mixture …

STUDY OF MULTI- AND BROAD-BAND INTERNAL ANTENNAS FOR MOBILE APPLICATIONS
… with Inserted Concentrated Annular Rings (ICAR) and Inserted Loop Inductors (ILI) are presented as design #4 (ICAR-L-PIFA #4) and design #5 (ILI-L-PIFA #5), respectively. The simple loop structure consists of a meandered line. It increases the capacitance between adjacent lines. The …

The Effects of Aggregate Moisture Conditions in Rheological Behaviors of High-Workability Mortar Prepared with Fine Recycled-Concrete Aggregate
An ICAR rheometer was used in this study to measure the rheological behaviors of high-workability mortar (Self-Consolidating Concrete - SCC mortar). A mortar slump test and a mortar funnel test were also performed to evaluate the workability of SCC mortar. Fine recycled-concrete aggregate (FRCA) …

Kir-Based Inhibitory Cars Overcome Car-Nk Cell Trogocytosis-Mediated Fratricide and Tumor Escape
… and an NK self-recognizing inhibitory CAR (iCAR) that transferred a “don't kill me” signal to NK cells upon engagement with their TROG+ siblings. This system prevented trogocytic antigen-mediated fratricide, while sparing aCAR-signaling against the tumor antigen, and resulted in enhanced …

Applying an Intrinsic Conditional Autoregressive Reference Prior for Areal Data
… intrinsic conditional autoregressive (ICAR) models are commonly assigned as priors for spatial random effects in hierarchical models for areal data corresponding to spatial partitions of a region. However, selection of prior distributions for these spatial parameters presents a …

Formwork pressure and rheology of self consolidating concrete
… the accurate yield stress values using the ICAR rheometer was developed. The accuracy of the pressure data obtained using the pressure sensors was also evaluated. Based on the results obtained, the accuracy of the Lange and Tejeda model in predicting the formwork pressure of self …

The relationship between raters' understanding of personality traits and situation dimensions from cues: nothing more than general mental ability?
… the International Cognitive Ability Resource (ICAR), Situation Induction Test, and the Short Dispositional Insight Test (S-DIT). The participants also completed the Short Big Five Inventory 2 (BFI-2-S), which assessed their dominant personality traits. A Pearson correlation analysis was …

Identificazione e valutazione delle opere incongrue in specifici contesti urbani
La ricerca si propone d’indagare sul concetto di “congruità” riferito alle trasformazioni di specifici contesti urbani, e di definire quindi un metodo “non arbitrario” per la valutazione di opere esistenti o in progetto, al fine di riconoscerne il carattere di congruità o, al contrario, …

Le architetture fortificate del Friuli Venezia Giulia colpite dal sisma del 1976. Studi e osservazioni su alcuni interventi realizzati, anche con riferimento alla circolare n.26 del 2/12/10 relativa alla valutazione e riduzione del rischio sismico del patrimonio culturale
La presente tesi di dottorato affronta il tema delle architetture fortificate del Friuli Venezia Giulia colpite dal sisma del 1976 studiando alcuni interventi di restauro realizzati, anche con riferimento alla Circolare N.26 del 2/12/10 relativa alla valutazione del rischio sismico del patrimonio …

Strategies and procedures for the development of intermodal freight transport in Europe: the role of motorways of the sea services and railway terminals
Since the birth of the European Union on 1957, the development of a single market through the integration of national freight transport networks has been one of the most important points in the European Union agenda. Increasingly congested motorways, rising oil prices and concerns about environment …

Two fluid numerical model for coastal applications
Wave breaking is an important coastal process, influencing hydro-morphodynamic processes such as turbulence generation and wave energy dissipation, run-up on the beach and overtopping of coastal defence structures. During breaking, waves are complex mixtures of air and water (“white water”) whose …

Il Sistema Gateway nello sviluppo della rete del trasporto combinato in Europa: il caso del terminal di Verona Quadrante Europa
Il trasporto intermodale ha acquisito un ruolo sempre più importante nello scenario dei trasporti comunitari merci durante gli ultimi quindici anni. La sfida che si era posta a inizi anni novanta in Europa consisteva nello sviluppo di una rete europea di trasporto combinato strada-ferrovia. A …

Asset management of wastewater networks
Asset Management (AM) is a set of procedures operable at the strategic-tacticaloperational level, for the management of the physical asset’s performance, associated risks and costs within its whole life-cycle. AM combines the engineering, managerial and informatics points of view. In addition to …
