The University of Hong Kong Department of Civil Engineering CIVL2002 M – Geology & Rock Laboratory Report Brazilian Test A. Introduction As shown by the Griffith criterion‚ tensile strength of brittle materials is theoretical 1/8 of the compressive strength. Typically‚ tensile strength of rock materials is about 1/10 to 1/8 of the compressive strength. Hence‚ rock fails easily under tension. In design‚ rock should be subjected to minimum tensile stress. Several methods

Roderick Chisholm’s Solution to “The Problem of the Criterion” In this paper‚ I will argue that Roderick Chisholm fails to give an adequate solution to the problem of the criterion. According to Chisholm‚ the problem of the criterion is the ancient problem of “the wheel” or “vicious circle” (Chisholm‚ 77). Chisholm explains the problem of the criterion by stating that in order to know whether things are as they seem to be‚ we must have a procedure for recognizing things that are true from things

Lebel used Monte Carlo methods to evaluate various models of socially desirable responding. They claimed that there are only relatively minor decrements in criterion prediction except under the most extreme situation. Thomas A. O’Neill‚ Richard D. Goffin and lan R.

Final Examination 1. It is often useful in computer vision to represent and analyze image content by means of complex variables‚ even though an image itself is defined as an array of real numbers. Give at least two examples of useful operations in computer vision based on complex variables‚ identifying clearly the mathematical domain in which the complex variables exist. Explain in each case what is achieved by adopting such a representation. Answer： One example of the use of complex variables
