International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT An efficient semi‐analytical approach based on the Fourier–Bessel series (FBS) system of vector functions and the stiffness matrix method is proposed to study the dynamic response of axially loaded piles embedded in transversely isotropic (TI) layered soil.

Anisotropic Initial Damage and Its Effect on Tensile Response of Plain Concrete
International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Damage is often described as isotropic, implying that a scalar value describes its initial state. However, the prior micro‐cracking pattern at points of an existing building, that is, the initial damage, may be oriented by a preload. The degradation of the Volume Element due to oriented preloads shall be described as anisotropic and ...

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The GTPase KRAS executes a conformational switch between a GTP‐bound active state and a GDP‐bound inactive state, a process central to oncogenic signaling. However, the structural basis of this switching at the level of residue‐contact organization remains incompletely characterized by traditional binary structural models.

Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors in the Radiosity Context
, 1997 : The convergence of iterative methods used to solve the radiosity sys-tem of linear equations depends on the distribution of the eigenvalues of the ra-diosity coefficient matrix.

New views of some invariants associated with the Cartesian 2D velocity gradient tensor
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Vorticity and divergence of horizontal flow are fundamental quantities in meteorology; both are linear functions of the four elements of the 2D velocity gradient tensor and both are formally unchanged under coordinate rotation. We explore four quadratic functions of the elements that are geometrically invariant in this sense, finding some novel ...

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in European Countries: An Analytical and Econometric Approach
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Despite the growing policy relevance of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) within the European Union, significant uncertainties remain regarding the extent to which European countries perform unevenly across different dimensions of sustainable development and whether higher levels of economic development necessarily translate into better

Spatial circular matrices, with applications [PDF]
The cumulants of the quadratic forms associated to the so-called spatial design matrices are often needed for inference in the context of isotropic processes on uniform grids.

Inverses, determinants, eigenvalues, and eigenvectors of real symmetric Toeplitz matrices with linearly increasing entries [PDF]
, 2014 We explicitly determine the skew-symmetric eigenvectors and corresponding eigenvalues of the real symmetric Toeplitz matrices . In this case we also explicitly determine the symmetric eigenvectors and corresponding eigenvalues of T .

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Achieving sustainable development requires balancing economic growth with environmental conservation, but the relationship between informal economic activities and emerging financial technologies in boosting green growth (GG) is not well understood.
