sciency of mechanically extracting valuable resources from
municipal solid waste (MSW). With today's techniques, resources
such as combustibles, aluminum, glass, and ferrous
materials can be extracted from ordinary ...
Considering the problems associated with the availability and reliability of climatic data in developing countries and the possible errors in the more sophisticated methods for estimating crop water requirements, it has ...
The present state-of-art of the techniques of planning and controlling production in batch shops has been surveyed and the operational characteristic of batch shops have been identified. There is a need in manual shops to ...
Modeling of a limestone aquifer in the north west of Sri Lanka is attempted. The Vanathavillu basin situated 18km north of Puttalum, covering an area of approximately 80sq.km has been studied, using a mathematical model ...
Infill materials found in natural rock joints may cause a reduction in joint shear strength, influencing rock mass stability. The shear strength of rock mass, already reduced by these discontinuities, will further diminish ...
A dimensionally homogeneous and accurate formula has been derived in this research for the estimation of surface resistance in pipes based on explicit friction factor relationship and Darcy-Weisbach equation. The new ...
The most important aim of expert systems is to emulate the expert. The majority of existing expert systems for design try to achieve this by integrating the phases of the design process within one software environment thus ...
This thesis is concerned with various investigations relating to time series analysis and forecasting. Particular attention is given to fractional differencing and its applications to long memory time series models.
Chapter ...
Most of the slopes in Sri Lanka are composed of residual formations derived as a result of in-situ weathering of parent rocks which are predominantly of metamorphic origin. Due to the heterogeneous and anisotropic nature ...
This thesis presents the results of an experimental investigation into the strength of brickwork under biaxial tension-compression. Since there is insufficient experimental evidence available on the strength of brickwork ...
Passenger walking distance is a major consideration in determining the geometry of an airport terminal configuration. The number of aircraft gate positions and the expected passenger mix are the significant elements to be ...
