High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In predictive analytics and machine learning, the concept drift means that the statistical properties of the target variable, which the model is trying to predict, change over time in unforeseen ways. This causes problems because the predictions become less accurate as the times passes. The term concept refers to the quantity you are looking to predict. More generally, it can also refer to other phenomena of interest besides the target concept, such as an input, but, in the context of concept drift, the term commonly refers to the target variable. The behavior of the customers in an online shop may change over time. Let's say you want to predict weekly merchandise sales, and you have developed...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Concealment devices or diversion safes are used to hide things for the purpose of secrecy or security. They are made from an ordinary household object such as a book, a soda can, a candle, a can, or something as small as a coin. The idea is that such an inconspicuous object would not be expected to contain anything of worth. Examples in espionage include dead drop spikes for transferring items to other people, and hollowed-out coins or teeth for concealing suicide pills. Examples in smuggling include suitcases with false bottoms for hiding contraband. During World War II, a British organization called MI9 was responsible for creating many concealment devices for "escape aids" to assist...

In urban and industrial areas with high CO2 concentration, carbonation is the main deterioration mechanism affecting service life of concrete structures. A mathematical model for carbonation of concrete is proposed. This model can cover many parameters affecting the carbonation rate of concrete. The input data for this model include physical and chemical characteristics of Portland cement and mineral admixtures, water/cement ratio, aggregate/cement ratio, maximum aggregate size, curing condition (period, temperature, relative humidity), preconditioning (period, temperature), CO2 concentration, exposure time and the ambient conditions. A new model to predict the degree of pozzolanic activity of mineral admixtures has been proposed....

The hydration process of concrete has been studied using a non-contact electrical resistivity measurement. Cement hydration stages have been classified and the hydration mechanism has been interpreted based on the analysis of resistivity development curve and the investigations of microstructure. The proposed concrete conduction model shows that the degree of hydration dominates concrete resistivity. It also proposes some practical applications of the resistivity measurement in the activity evaluation of mineral admixtures, the selection of a superplasticizer and the determination of concrete setting time. A criterion has been proposed for selecting a suitable superplasticizer. The more suitable superplasticizer is the one which gives...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A concurrency, overlap, or coincidence in a road network is an instance of one physical road bearing two or more different highway, motorway, or other route numbers. When it is two freeways that share the same right-of-way, it is sometimes called a common section or commons. Road enthusiasts often use the term multiplex -- as well as the more specific duplex and triplex -- to refer to such instances although those type are the more common instances.

This book is intended for engineering graduate students and Research and Development scientists who are interested in liquid and gas flows and the mutual interaction between the gas bubbles and the surrounding liquid turbulence field. In this study, air-water bubbly flow in a 200 mm diameter vertical pipe was experimentally investigated. A dual optical probe is used to measure the bubble characteristics, while the liquid turbulence characteristics are measured using hot-film anemometers. Results showed that bubbles tended to migrate toward the pipe centreline, which is different than small diameter pipes. Turbulence suppression was observed near the pipe wall at low void fraction flows. The balance between the lift and the turbulent...

The phase-out of ozone-depleting refrigerants, such as R-12 and R-22, according to the Montreal Protocol of 1987, has provided the incentive to increase the thermal efficiency of current heating and refrigeration systems. The purpose of this study was to increase the accuracy of the predictions of both the heat transfer and pressure drop correlations for condensing refrigerants in the Intermittent flow regime. This was done utilizing a novel method involving the temporal and spectral analysis of the light intensity of the local flow regime, as seen through a sight glass. An experimental setup was designed, built and commissioned specifically for this purpose using refrigerant R-22 and a smooth tube. It was found that the accuracy of the...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! La conductivite electrique est l'aptitude d'un materiau a laisser les charges electriques se deplacer librement, autrement dit a permettre le passage du courant electrique. La conductivite electrique est l'inverse de la resistivite. Elle correspond a la conductance d'une portion de materiau de 1 m de longueur et de 1 m2 de section. Parmi les meilleurs conducteurs, il y a les metaux (comme le cuivre ou l'aluminium) pour lesquels les porteurs de charge sont les « electrons libres » et, les solutions d'electrolytes (ayant des ions en solution). Pour ces dernieres, la valeur de la conductivite depend de la nature des ions presents dans la solution et de leurs concentrations. La conductivite d'une...

The development of column interaction diagrams for unconfined concrete is a standard analysis procedure. However, the need to develop analysis tools for the actual ultimate capacity of columns is evident. Modern codes and standards are introducing the need to perform extreme event analysis. In previous studies, various models were implemented to assess the ultimate confined capacity of columns under concentric axial loads. On the other hand, the effect of confinement in case of the eccentric axial load and the corresponding bending moment are not investigated in such models. This book introduces a new eccentricity based confinement model that relates the strength and ductility to the degree of confinement utilization. New software is...

Long design cycles due to the inability to predict silicon realities is a well-known problem that plagues analog/RF integrated circuit product development. As this problem worsens for nanoscale IC technologies, the high cost of design and multiple manufacturing spins causes fewer products to have the volume required to support full custom implementation. We propose a regular analog/RF IC using metal-mask configurability design methodology ORACLE, which is a combination of reuse and shared- use by formulating the synthesis problem as an optimization with recourse problem. Using a two- stage geometric programming with recourse approach, ORACLE solves for both the globally optimal shared and application-specific variables. Furthermore,...

The law of conservation of mass/matter, also known as principle of mass/matter conservation is that the mass of a closed system will remain constant over time and will not be destroyed as a result, regardless of the processes acting inside the system. A similar statement is that mass cannot be created/destroyed, although it may be rearranged in space, and changed into different types of particles. This implies that for any chemical process in a closed system, the mass of the reactants must equal the mass of the products. This is also the main idea of the first law of thermodynamics. As opposed to mass conservation, the principle of matter conservation (in the sense of conservation of particles which are agreed to be "matter") may be...
