Experimental Determination of Required Lateral Restraint Forces for Z-Purlin Supported, Sloped Metal Roof Systems
… roof systems under gravity loads. A proposed prediction equation, relying heavily on engineering principles, has been developed because the current provisions in the specification are empirical and based on statistical analysis. The provisions treat roof slope and system effects incorrectly, …

Ultimate Strength Prediction in Fiberglass/Epoxy Beams Subjected to Three-Point Bending Using Acoustic Emission and Neural Networks
… with each failure mechanism to develop a prediction equation. The prediction equation was able to predict the ultimate failure load with a worst case error of-11.34 percent, which was well outside the desired goal of ± 5 percent. This was thought to be the result of noisy or sparse data, …

Intake capacity of the Icelandic dairy cow. Effect of animal factors, concentrate ratio and feeding method
Accurate prediction of dry matter intake (DMI) is crucial to formulate a feed ration that maximizes feed efficiency. The model predicting the DMI of the Icelandic dairy cow in the co-Nordic feed evaluation system NorFor needed an update to be able to predict the DMI more accurately. The aims of …
