The saturated permeability coefficient of soil is an inherent variable due to its inhomogeneity and the inaccuracy of monitoring. To explore the stability and failure probability of bedrock laminar slope under heavy rain...

Based on recent psychometric developments, this paper presents a conceptual and practical guide for estimating internal consistency reliability of measures obtained as item sum or mean. The internal consistency reliabili...

The inherent variability of soil properties has currently received considerable attention in slope reliability analysis. However, the geological uncertainty is often ignored in analysis. This paper proposes a method for ...

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are in the midst of aviation’s next generation. UAVs are being utilized at an increasing rate by military and security operations and are becoming widely popular in usage for activities ...

Electronic Flight Bags (EFBs) have flooded the aviation industry. Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) tablets are now commonly used by pilots as EFBs. Operators use EFBs for ease of use, faster access to information, to remo...

Since the coefficients of variation of soil properties vary in a large range, the real reliability index for the soil slope designed using the partial factor method also fluctuates in a range. This drawback limits the ap...

Social Support is one of the most well documented factors influencing health outcomes. Cultural differences and language use between Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries advise caution in the use of the same measur...

Abstract Background Considering the physical, mental and behavioral problems related to fetal alcohol exposure, prenatal clinical guides suggest a brief evaluation of alcohol consumption during pregnancy to detect alco...
