Over the years, structural engineering codes and specifications in Canada and elsewhere have moved from an allowable stress design (ASD) approach to a load and resistance factor design (LRFD) philosophy. LRFD methodology takes better account of the inher...

The vadose zone acts as a natural buffer against groundwater contamination, and thus, its attenuation capacity (AC) directly affects groundwater vulnerability to pollutants. A regression model from the previous study predicting the overall AC of soils ag...

In various applications, the extended Kalman filter (EKF) has been vital in estimating a vehicle?s translational and angular motion in 3-dimensional (3D) space. It is also essential for the fusion of data from multiple sensors. However, for the EKF to pe...
