The Asaoka Method Revisited

The Asaoka method is a useful tool for interpreting and extrapolating field settlement observations. The graphical procedure to estimate end-of-primary (EOP) settlement and coefficient of consolidation is simple, however, mathematical deduction of the method by Asaoka is not. The Asaoka method is deduced here using simple algebra for one-dimensional compression with and without vertical drains. The Terzaghi theory of one-dimensional consolidation, and the Barron equal strain theory of consolidation modified to include effects of smear, well resistance and vertical water flow through soil, are used. The Asaoka graphical procedure is applied to settlement observations at Skå-Edeby test area I with three spacings of sand drains and area IV without vertical drains. The Asaoka method is not recommended for predicting secondary settlement.

The effects of charmonium on the properties of the 1++ hidden charm poles in effective field theory
Cincioglu, E.; Özpineci, Altuğ; Yildirim Yilmaz, D. (2021-10-01)
In this study, the properties of the JPC=1++ hidden charm poles are analyzed under the variation of the bare 2P charmonium mass within the effective field theory proposed in Ref. [1]. The main focus of the current work is on the pole trajectory of the χc1(2P) charmonium dressed by the DD¯⁎ meson loops. It is shown that the trajectories of the pole change radically for values of the bare charmonium mass above a certain value and also depending on how close the pole is to the threshold.
A Graph-Based Concept Discovery Method for n-Ary Relations
Abay, Nazmiye Ceren; MUTLU, ALEV; Karagöz, Pınar (2015-09-04)
Concept discovery is a multi-relational data mining task for inducing definitions of a specific relation in terms of other relations in the data set. Such learning tasks usually have to deal with large search spaces and hence have efficiency and scalability issues. In this paper, we present a hybrid approach that combines association rule mining methods and graph-based approaches to cope with these issues. The proposed method inputs the data in relational format, converts it into a graph representation, and...
The Asian contribution to the Turkish population with respect to the Balkans: Y-chromosome perspective
Berkman, Ceren Caner; Togan, İnci Zehra (Elsevier BV, 2009-05-28)
Admixture analysis is one of the methods that can be used to calculate the contribution of migrations. There are several admixture estimation methods. In the present study, Chikhi et al.'s admixture method, which considers the effect of genetic drift, was used to estimate the male genetic contribution of Central Asia to hybrids. It was observed that the male contribution from Central Asia to Turkish population with reference to the Balkans was 13%. Comparison of the admixture estimate for Turkey with those ...
An information theoretic approach to select alternate subsets of predictors for data-driven hydrological models
TAORMİNA, RİCCARDO; GALELLİ, STEFANO; Karakaya, Gülşah; Ahipasaoglu, S. D. (Elsevier BV, 2016-11-01)
This work investigates the uncertainty associated to the presence of multiple subsets of predictors yielding data-driven models with the same, or similar, predictive accuracy. To handle this uncertainty effectively, we introduce a novel input variable selection algorithm, called Wrapper for Quasi Equally Informative Subset Selection (W-QEISS), specifically conceived to identify all alternate subsets of predictors in a given dataset. The search process is based on a four-objective optimization problem that m...
A new multimodal and asymmetric bivariate circular distribution
Hassanzadeh, Fatemeh; Kalaylioglu, Zeynep (2018-09-01)
Multimodal and asymmetric bivariate circular data arise in several different disciplines and fitting appropriate distribution plays an important role in the analysis of such data. In this paper, we propose a new bivariate circular distribution which can be used to model both asymmetric and multimodal bivariate circular data simultaneously. In fact the proposed density covers unimodality as well as multimodality, symmetry as well as asymmetry of circular bivariate data. A number of properties of the proposed...
