Defeasible Logic Programming (DeLP) is an extension of Logic Programming capturing common-sense reasoning features. The DeLP language can manage defeasible reasoning, allowing the representation of defeasible and non- defeasible knowledge. Since DeLP syntax is based on a PROLOG-like notation, the…

Flow Accelerated Corrosion (FAC) is the most prevalent material degradation mechanism for low carbon steel in steam-water flow systems. The band of uncertainty in predictions of wear rate due to FAC spans one to two orders of magnitude. Such a…

This study investigates an approach of knowledge discovery and data mining in insufficient databases. An application of Computational Taxonomy analysis demonstrates that the approach is effective in such a data mining process. The approach is characterized by the use of…

Abstract:
The increased volume and complexity of information available via the Internet and other networked information and communications systems (ICTs) have heightened the need for more efficient and effective ways of searching on-line resources. Technologies involving automated and human-operated software…

Array processing techniques such as beamforming or matched field processing require accurate knowledge of the location of individual elements in the array. For horizontal arrays laid on the ocean floor, relative arrival times measured across the array from nearby implosive…
