City Slicker or Country Bumpkin?—Distinguishing Urban and Rural Residents From Subtle Facial Cues

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Social Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Stereotypes characterize urban and rural residents as differing in traits, values and social outcomes. Here, we examined how people's stereotypes about urban and rural residents differ, testing their validity using a lens model. Results showed that participants detected whether people resided in urban or rural areas from photos across three ...

Damping Modification Factors for Pile–Induced Filtering Effect

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Period–dependent Damping Modification Factors are usually applied to the 5%–damped pseudo–acceleration response spectrum at free field conditions to derive the seismic demand for structures with damping ratio other than 5%. Likewise, the response spectrum at the foundation level of pile–supported structures may differ from the free field ...

Analytical Floor Response Spectra for Performance‐Based Seismic Design of Non‐structural Elements in Reinforced Concrete Frame Buildings

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Damage to non‐structural elements significantly impacts the seismic performance of buildings in terms of economic and functionality losses. Consequently, performance‐based seismic design of non‐structural elements has become a key pillar of a comprehensive building‐seismic resilience strategy, for instance, through loss‐targeted earthquake ...

Optimization and Assessment of Parabolic Trough Solar Power Plants in Arid Climates: A Case Study in Tunisia

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aims to model a solar power plant (SPP) utilizing parabolic trough collectors (PTC) to fulfill the electricity needs in an arid zone of the southern of Tunisia. The research integrates both experimental and numerical approaches. A prototype of a PTC was first constructed and experimentally tested under arid climates. Subsequently, a

The Gas‐Liquid Separation Characteristics Inside a Drainage Self‐Priming Pump Under Different Discharge Valve Openings

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
To investigate the influence of discharge valve opening on the self‐priming characteristics of a self‐priming pump, numerical calculations are conducted for four different discharge valve openings based on a circulation piping system. The hydraulic performance and the internal flow characteristics during self‐priming process are obtained.
