Uplift modeling with multiple treatments
… based on subject characteristics is known as Uplift Modeling in the literature. A key feature of uplift modeling is that the data is unlabeled. It is impossible to know whether the chosen treatment is optimal for an individual subject because responses under alternative treatments are …

The sedimentary record of seafloor uplift
… by vertical seafloor movements, such as uplift and subsidence. The vertical deformation of the seafloor and subsurface influences sedimentary systems, hydrocarbon distribution, paleoclimate archives, and poses significant geohazard risks. This thesis investigates the different origins, …

Late Cenozoic uplift of southeastern Tibet
… landscape existed at low elevations prior to uplift and long-wavelength tilt of the southeastern plateau margin. The modern altitude of the erosion surface provides an excellent datum for constraining the total amount of surface uplift of the southeastern plateau margin. The long-wavelength …

Uplift loaded standing seam roof systems
… which can accurately predict the failure of an uplift-loaded standing seam roof system. Four sets of full-scale tests were conducted and their results were analyzed along with previous results (Anderson 1991). It was found that by normalizing the data, a reduction factor could be established for …

Base isolation benefits of rocking and uplift
… acting on a building may cause it to rock and uplift. In order to avoid this rocking and uplifting, unnecessary dead weight, oversized projections, or other special techniques have traditionally been used to anchor the buildings to their foundations. These precautions, however, directly or …

Uplift capacity of helical piles in thawing permafrost
… is used to estimate load-displacement curves and uplift capacity of helical piles. The predictive numerical model is further used to probe more information about critical soil parameters that affect the capacity of piles in frozen soils. The laboratory-scale model consists of a double-helix …

Monitoring of oil-production-induced subsidence and uplift

Uplift modeling for randomized experiments and observational studies
Uplift modeling refers to the problem where we need to identify from a set of treatments the candidate that leads to the most desirable outcome based on subject characteristics. Most work in the last century focus on the average effect of a treatment across a population of interest, but ignores …

Standing seam roof system strength under uplift loading
… thesis is to verify the "base test method" for uplift loading of C- and Z-purlin supported, standing seam metal building roof systems. To achieve this end, eight sets of full-scale roof system tests were conducted. Each test set consisted of a single span base test and a three-span, multi-purlin …

Further studies of uplift loaded standing seam roof systems
… loaded standing seam roof systems. However, for uplift loaded standing seam roof systems, the base test method is still being investigated. Previous tests conducted at Virginia Tech in 1990 and 1991 have led to the belief that scatter is inherent in the results of the base test method for uplift. …

Cenozoic potassic magmatism and uplift of the Western United States
… mafic volcanics within the non-extensional, uplifted central Colorado Plateau and Sierra Nevada have been studied in detail and a general model is proposed for non-extensional, uplift-related, magmatism within the Western Cordillera. <br></br><br></br>The Oligo-Miocene potassic-ultrapotassic …

Bricolage Propriety: The Queer Practice of Black Uplift, 1890–1905
… Propriety: The Queer Practice of Black Uplift, 1890-1905</em> situates the queer-of-color cultural imaginary in a relatively small nodal point: the United States at the end of the nineteenth century. Through literary analysis and archival research on leading and marginal figures of …

Mountain-range uplift & climate-system interactions in the Southern Central Andes
Zwei häufig diskutierte Aspekte der spätkänozoischen Gebirgsbildung der Anden sind der Zeitpunkt sowie die Art und Weise der Heraushebung des Puna-Plateaus und seiner Randgebiete innerhalb der Ostkordillere und die damit verbundenen klimatischen Änderungen in NW Argentinien. Die Ostkordillere …

The Post Triassic uplift and erosion history of the Southwestern UK

Field-based Constraints on the Origin of the Benton Uplift, Ouachita Mountains
… north. Structures in the Benton and Broken Bow Uplifts (located in the core of the wedge) locally appear antithetic to this deformation, i.e., a sub-set of data from both uplifts consists of south-vergent thrust faults and asymmetric to overturned folds. Interpretations for the formation of …

Chastity and moral uplift in salient novels of China and the West
The first Chinese novel to be translated into a Western language, Hau Ch'iu Chuan by Meng-chiao Chung-jen (known in English as The Fortunate Union), was instantly hailed by Goethe and others as a masterpiece of imaginative fiction and was in large measure responsible for Goethe's formulation of the …

Stream profiles as a proxy for uplift in the San Bernardino Mountains
… San Gabriel Mountains, have been tectonically uplifted since the late Miocene due to transpression-related thrust faulting. Although regional uplift patterns are not as clear from this data as those of a stream profile analysis in the San Gabriel Mountains, the results observed indicate that …

Petrography and Diagenesis of Cambrian Dolomite in Tabei Uplift, Northern Tarim Basin, China
The Tabei Uplift, located in the northern Tarim Basin, northwest China, contains the most productive hydrocarbon reservoirs. The late Cambrian strata in the Tabei Uplift present a succession of restricted platform and platform margin carbonates, which are mostly dolomitized. Based on an integrated …

Paleoecology and Taphonomy of Ediacaran macrofossils from the Khatyspyt Formation, Olenek Uplift, Siberia
The Ediacaran Period (635 – 541 Ma) is a critical transition in the history of the Earth and life. It is marked by the appearance of enigmatic Ediacara-like fossils and macroalgae, which had existed since the early Proterozoic, but started to diversify morphologically and ecologically during this …
