Dynamically dimensioned search embedded with piecewise opposition-based learning for global optimization
(2019-05-26)
Dynamically dimensioned search (DDS) is a well-known optimization algorithm in the field of single solution-based heuristic global search algorithms. Its successful application in the calibration of watershed environmental ...
Hydrological model supported by a step-wise calibration against sub-flows and validation of extreme flow events
(MDPI, 2019-01-31)
Most hydrological models have fixed structures and their calibrations are typified by a conventional approach in which the overall water balance closure is considered (without a step-wise focus on sub-flows’ variation). ...
Osmotic consolidation of expansive soil
(Japanese Geotechnical Society Special Publication, 2019)
The mechanical behavior of expansive soils is influenced by the concentration of salts in their pore water. Research
has shown that volume change of soil can occur due to a difference in salt concentration in the pore ...
Developing a model for cost performance improvement of road maintenance projects in northern Uganda – case study of Uganda National Roads Authority
(Kyambogo University (un published work), 2019-11)
Government has put in place plans for road development and maintenance and has improved on its budget allocations, in order to boost tourism, agriculture and mining, among others. However, road maintenance remains a challenge ...
