Predicting Screening Efficiency of Probability Screens Using KPCA-GRNN with WP-EE Feature Reconstruction by Qingtang Chen, Yijian Huang

“…The screening system is a nonlinear and non-Gaussian complex system. To better characterize its attributes and improve the prediction accuracy of screening efficiency, this study involves the acquisition of the vibration signals and screening efficiency data under various operational conditions. …”

Assessment of Masonry-Infilled Steel Frames Using Existing Experimental Tests Database in Comparison to Standards by Ciprian Bratu, Dario Šokić, Naida Ademović, Ercan Isik, Borko Bulajić, Dorin Radu, Marijana Hadzima-Nyarko

“…Although the influence of infill masonry on horizontal load structure behavior is well-documented, current standards and regulations have yet to fully incorporate or explicitly define the load-bearing capacity of this complex system. Canadian and American standards present more comprehensive and specific methodologies for calculating the load-bearing capacity of infill masonry and frame systems. …”

Involving national stakeholders in a systems approach to map drivers of childhood obesity and actions to prevent childhood obesity in Denmark: the Generation Healthy Kids Study by Knud Ryom, Paul Bloch, Ulla Toft, Didde Høeg, Louise T. Thomsen, Steven Allender, Harry Rutter, Adrian Bauman, Rikke Fredenslund Krølner, Anders Blædel Gottlieb Hansen

“…However, challenges were experienced regarding the usefulness of the system mapping process, with a tension between the map as a step in a shared process towards actions and the map as means to gain a deeper understanding of the complex system of childhood overweight and obesity and how to change the system.…”

Les aqueducs de Rome : les activités de la Surintendance capitoline, une contribution essentielle à la recherche by Marina Marcelli, Massimiliano Munzi

“…They are allocated different colours on the GIS map, and linked with forms used to evaluate the resources needed for scheduled interventions.A targeted research and restoration project is currently underway on the acquedotto Traiano-Paolo, unique among the aqueducts in that components that capture water from springs near the Bracciano lake basin as well as some 57 km of ancient channels are still functioning.In 2017 the Sovrintendenza, in collaboration with the managing company ACEA ATO2 and with the support of speleo-archaeological organizations, launched a project to explore and study the artefact and map it on a GIS, in order to monitor its state of preservation and to learn more about its complex system of water capture, adduction and redistribution, which is still largely preserved in the original Roman phase.Because of the complexity of the hydraulic system, a “pilot project” was developed to determine the survey and mapping methodologies. …”
