Semi-Active Control of Post-tensioned Steel Frames [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
After the Northridge 1994 earthquake it was found that failures in steel frame buildings were mainly concentrated in beam-column connections. This prompted researchers to work on improvements, mainly focussed on increasing the rotational ductility ...

Proportional Nonuniform Multi-Gabor Expansions

open access: yesEURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing, 2004
A nonuniform multi-Gabor expansion (MGE) scheme is studied under proportional time and frequency (TF) shifts among different window indices . In particular, TF parameters for each are different, but proportional and relevant to windows' TF patterns ...

On the duality of frames and fusion frames

open access: yesHacettepe Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, 2017
Optimal frame bounds play a key role in many applications of frame theory, such as filter banks. In this paper, we study the relation between the bounds of a frame and its alternate dual and then present some approach to construct a family of Parseval frames. Also, we survey some problems on duals of fusion frames.

Experimental assessment and retrofit of full-scale models of existing RC frames

open access: yes, 2002
PSD tests on two full-scale models of existing non-seismic resisting RC frame structures are described. The testing program covered several aspects, namely assessment of seismic performance of existing frames without and with infill panels ...

Effect of column base strength on steel portal frames in fire

open access: yes, 2012
In the UK, the design of steel portal frame buildings in fire is based on the Steel Construction Institute (SCI) design method, in which fire protection needs only be provided to the columns, provided that the column bases are designed to resist an ...

Does Rhetoric Have a Place in Wohlrapp’s Theory of Argument?

open access: yesInformal Logic, 2017
When a new theory of argumentation becomes available on the English-speaking market, such as it is happening now through the translation of Harald Wohlrapp’s The Concept of Argument, it is always interesting to work out how the new input will interact ...

Beyond the Online Voices during Crisis Communication. Case Study: Product Recall in Romania after the Usage of Fipronil

open access: yesStyles of Communication, 2020
In August 2017, a health crisis has spread all over Europe due to the contamination of eggs with Fipronil, which according to the World Health Organization, is “slightly toxic” when ingested in large quantities.

Finding frames: new ways to engage the UK public in global poverty [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The aim of the study was to explore the potential for frames theory to be used as a practical tool to re-engage the UK public in global poverty. In exploring the uses of frames theory, we have built on work by Tom Crompton at WWF-UK, who began the task ...
