Unified Soil Classification System group symbol. For example, GW-GM corresponds to "well-graded gravel "with silt"." If the soil has more than 15% by weight retained on a #4 sieve (R > 15%), there is a significant amount of gravel, and the suffix "with gravel" may be added to the group name, but the group symbol does not change. For example, SP-SM could refer to "poorly graded SAND with silt" or "poorly graded SAND with silt and gravel." Unified Soil Classification System The Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) is a soil classification system used in engineering and geology to describe the texture and grain size
Granular computing In this sense, granular computing is used as an umbrella term to cover topics that have been studied in various fields in isolation. By examining all of these existing studies in light of the unified framework of granular computing and extracting their commonalities, it may be possible to develop a general theory for problem solving. In a more philosophical sense, granular computing can describe a way of thinking that relies on the human ability to perceive the real world under various levels of granularity (i.e., abstraction) in order to abstract and consider only those things that serve a specific interest
