Abstract—The seismic response of bridges seismically isolated by lead-rubber bearings (LRB) to earthquake excitations of different magnitudes is presented in this thesis. The fo...
Density modeling is notoriously difficult for high dimensional data. One approach to the problem is to search for a lower dimensional manifold which captures the main characteristi...
Abstract--Sensing coverage is essential for most applications in wireless networks. In traditional coverage problem study, the disk coverage model has been widely applied because o...
Bid-based Genetic Programming (GP) provides an elegant mechanism for facilitating cooperative problem decomposition without an a priori specification of the number of team member...
