The construction of such infrastructures is an engineering challenge that must be proven over the long term. The purpose of this study is to understand the modification of the hydromechanical properties of bottom liners of landfills that may occur during their exploitation under leachate action. To do so, on the basis of its parameters of nature, a swelling clay from Burkina Faso is selected from soils of seven localities in Burkina Faso (West Africa). Laboratory tests carried out with distilled water and then with a young synthetic leachate show a degradation of the permeability of this clay from 2.42 × 10^-10 m/s to 1.01 × 10^-9 m/s. In addition, leachate leads to an inhibition of the swelling and a remarkable increase of its compressibility, inducing significant settlement. With the increase in permeability, the primary consolidation settlement is increasing faster. Changes in the hydromechanical behavior can be attributed to the clays mineralogy, mainly cation exchange and the development of the diffuse double layer.展开更多

In this approach, ontology concept feature information is classified as five kinds, which respectively corresponds to five kinds of concept similarity computation methods. Many existing ontology mapping approaches have adopted the multi-feature reasoning, whereas not all feature information can be com- puted in the real ontology mapping and only fractional feature information needs to be selected in the mapping computation. Consequently a eonfigurable ontology mapping model is introduced, which is composed of CMT model, SMT model and related transformation model. Through the configurable model, users can conveniently select the most suitable features and configure the suitable weights. Simultaneously, a related 3-step ontology mapping approach is also introduced. Associated with the traditional name and instance learner-based ontology mapping approach, this approach is evaluated by an ontology mapping application example.展开更多

The band selection method was proposed from subspace decomposition, which combines the simulated annealing algorithm with the genetic algorithm in choosing different cross-over and mutation probabilities, as well as mutation individuals. Then MIL was combined with image segmentation, clustering and support vector machine algorithms to classify hyperspectral image. The experimental results show that this proposed method can get high classification accuracy of 93.13% at small training samples and the weaknesses of the conventional methods are overcome.展开更多

These professionals should also be able to recognize their prior knowledge as a potential tool to teach and to act autonomously in different educational contexts. Therefore, pre-service teacher education courses need to provide favorable conditions for teacher candidates to engage in reflective practice in order to foster continuous professional development. The main goal of this paper is to discuss the complexity of the pedagogical knowledge (re)construction process in an English as a foreign language (EFL) teacher education course, attempting to understand prospective teachers' pedagogical actions and strategies used to cope with classroom problems in their teaching practice. For this reason, some examples of this dynamic process, obtained by class recordings and reflective sessions with future teachers were examined. Results indicated that through self-assessment and reflection, stimulated by these sessions, student-teachers were able to recognize problems in their teaching procedures, as well as analyze their teaching practice and (re)construct their pedagogical knowledge, favoring their students' language learning process and their own teaching approach.展开更多

RTFF was designed with the goal of scaling to high volume data feeds that are common in large Tier-1 ISP networks and providing rich, timely information on observed attacks. It is a software solution that is designed to run on off-the-shelf hardware platforms and incorporates a scalable data processing architecture along with lightweight analysis algorithms that make it suitable for deployment in large networks. RTFF also makes use of state of the art machine learning algorithms to construct attack models that can be used to detect as well as predict attacks.展开更多

In this paper, the non-Lipschitz ?_p(0 < p < 1) regularized matrix minimization problem is studied. A global necessary optimality condition for this non-Lipschitz optimization problem is firstly obtained, specifically, the global optimal solutions for the problem are fixed points of the so-called p-thresholding operator which is matrix-valued and set-valued. Then a fixed point iterative scheme for the non-Lipschitz model is proposed, and the convergence analysis is also addressed in detail. Moreover,some acceleration techniques are adopted to improve the performance of this algorithm. The effectiveness of the proposed p-thresholding fixed point continuation(p-FPC) algorithm is demonstrated by numerical experiments on randomly generated and real matrix completion problems.展开更多
