Real-time Loss Estimation for Instrumented Buildings [PDF]

, 2004
Motivation. A growing number of buildings have been instrumented to measure and record earthquake motions and to transmit these records to seismic-network data centers to be archived and disseminated for research purposes. At the same time, sensors are

Seismic analyses of a R/C building: study of a retrofitting solution [PDF]

, 2000
The preliminary experimental results from the tests on a 4-storey R/C frame structure are presented and discussed. The full-scale model is representative of the common practice of 40~50 years ago in most south European countries.

Current induced torques and interfacial spin-orbit coupling: Semiclassical Modeling

, 2013
In bilayer nanowires consisting of a ferromagnetic layer and a non-magnetic layer with strong spin-orbit coupling, currents create torques on the magnetization beyond those found in simple ferromagnetic nanowires.

Selection Mapping Identifies Loci Underpinning Autumn Dormancy in Alfalfa (Medicago sativa). [PDF]

, 2018
Autumn dormancy in alfalfa (Medicago sativa) is associated with agronomically important traits including regrowth rate, maturity, and winter survival. Historical recurrent selection experiments have been able to manipulate the dormancy response.

Sketchy Lesbians: Carol as History and Fantasy [PDF]

, 2015
Rather than a forward-looking lesbian representation, Todd Haynes\u27s Carol, an adaptation by Phyllis Nagy of Patricia Highsmith\u27s 1952 novel, The Price of Salt, looks to images and affective investments of the past to explore lesbian ...

Support Vector Regression-Based Optimization for Triple Friction Pendulum Bearings: Achieving Computational Efficiency [PDF]

Journal of Soft Computing in Civil Engineering
Triple friction pendulum bearings (TFPBs) enhance the seismic resilience of base-isolated buildings. However, optimizing TFPB designs is computationally expensive, necessitating surrogate modeling techniques.

Shaking table tests on a scaled multi-story and high-rise glulam frame-concrete core tube hybrid structure

Case Studies in Construction Materials
In this study, shaking table tests were performed on a one-sixth-scale eight-story glulam frame-concrete core tube hybrid structure, which consisted of the glulam frame and the concrete core tube with coupling beams. The hybrid structure was subjected to
