Dissipation in Skewed Boundary Layers
… gradients in turbomachines to create highly skewed boundary layers, where the velocity varies in direction as well as magnitude. In this thesis, a combined experimental and high-fidelity computational approach is used to quantify the effect of skew on the dissipation coefficient for the first …

Skewed Bridge Behaviors: Experimental, Analytical, And Numerical Analysis
<p>In the US, nearly 33.5% of highway bridges are skewed. In the past, these skewed bridges have been analyzed as straight bridges. Nevertheless, there exists an extensive literature indicating the mechanical behavior of skewed bridges being quite different from their straight counterparts. In this …

Behavior of Skewed Continuous I Beam Bridge Structures
The main purpose of this study is to better understand the manner in which the angle of skew affects the behavior of skew continuous slab-and-girder highway structures. Until now, no exact analysis for skew continuous structures was available in the literature. Consequently, an analytical …

A comparison of upper confidence limits for skewed distributions
… concentrations, which are often positively skewed. The EPA frequently recommends the Lognormal distribution to model such data. However, that assumption often causes the UCL to be unreliable. What is the role of skewness in computing UCL statistics over different distributions? Computer …

Neural recommender models for sparse and skewed behavioral data
… data extend further. Individual words may have skewed frequencies in the corpus, but the long-tail words by themselves do not significantly impact downstream text-mining tasks. On the contrary, while sparse users (a majority on most online platforms) contribute little to the training data, they …

Dynamic Testing and Modeling of a Superelevated Skewed Highway Bridge
Created in response to the aging infrastructure in the United States, the Long Term Bridge Performance Program (LTBPP) under the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) proposes to assess the long-term performance of representative bridges through nondestructive evaluation (NDE) techniques and visual …

Evaluation of performance of non-parametric confidence intervals on skewed data
… perform when the data is known to come from a skewed distribution. Our goal is to illustrate the superiority of our new method against a traditional parametric approach for estimating parameters, particularly on skewed data.

Examining skewed sex ratio in the mountain plover (Charadrius montanus) population
Skewed sex ratios can have negative implications for population growth or persistence if not congruous for a species system. A skewed tertiary sex ratio (2.3 males per female) has been detected in the breeding population of a grassland shorebird experiencing population declines, the mountain plover …

Effect of Column Axial Load on Skewed SMF RBS Connection Demands

Shinobi : insert-aware partitioning and indexing techniques for skewed database workloads
… while the query workload becomes increasingly skewed. Additionally, the database index update costs can be a non-trivial proportion of the overall system cost. Shinobi introduces a cost model that takes index update costs account, and proposes database design algorithms that optimally partition …
