Rate control for HEVC intra-coding based on piecewise linear approximations [PDF]
, 2018 This paper proposes a rate control (RC) algorithm for intra-coded sequences (I-frames) within the context of block-based predictive transform coding (PTC) that employs piecewise linear approximations of the rate-distortion (RD) curve of each frame ...

Seismic Assessment of Braced RC Frames
Procedia Engineering, 2011 AbstractRecent earthquakes in Turkey (1999), Taiwan (1999) and Algeria (2003) demonstrated the catastrophic impact of such power upon urban cities. A great number of existing buildings in Algeria designed without seismic design criteria and detailing rules for dissipative structural behavior suffered damages which were far worse than that for newer ...

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Transducers convert physical signals into electrical and optical representations, yet each mechanism is bounded by intrinsic trade‐offs across bandwidth, sensitivity, speed, and energy. This review maps transduction mechanisms across physical scale and frequency, showing how heterogeneous integration and multiphysics co‐design transform isolated ...

Experimental assessment and retrofit of full-scale models of existing RC frames [PDF]
, 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 ...

Collision‐Resilient Winged Drones Enabled by Tensegrity Structures
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Based on structures of birds such as the woodpeck, this article presents the collision‐resilient aerial robot, SWIFT. SWIFT leverages tensegrity structures in the fuselage and wings which allow it to undergo large deformations in a crash, without sustaining damage. Experiments show that SWIFT can reduce impact forces by 70% over conventional structures.

Probabilistic seismic demand modeling of local level response parameters of an RC frame [PDF]
, 2017 Probabilistic methods to evaluate the seismic vulnerability of reinforced concrete (RC) frames are largely used in the context of performance based design and assessment, often describing the structural response using global engineering demand parameters

Formation Control of Multi‐Agent System with Local Interaction and Artificial Potential Field
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This article proposes a local interaction‐based formation control method for Multi‐Agent system, integrating consensus and leader‐follower strategies with a stress response mechanism—artificial potential field to reduce communication overhead and enable obstacle avoidance. Experimental results on triangular, square, and hexagonal formations confirm its

Performance-Based Retrofitting of Aging RC Frames Using Innovative Knee-Braced Buckling-Restrained Braces for Enhanced Seismic Resilience [PDF]
EPJ Web of ConferencesThe performance of reinforced concrete (RC) structures is a critical area of research, given the increasing need for resilient infrastructure in seismically active regions. Deficient RC frames, commonly found in aging buildings, exhibit limited ductility
