Gravity mediation retrofitted [PDF]
Most discussion of metastable dynamical supersymmetry breaking (MDSB) has focussed on low energy breaking, as in gauge mediation. It is of interest to consider possible implications for intermediate scale breaking ("gravity mediation"), especially as the early LHC results suggest the possibility that supersymmetry, if broken at relatively low energies,

Seismic Performances of Replaceable Steel Connection with Low Yield Point Metal
Compared with the traditional steel rigid connection, the beam-column connections with weakened beam end have better ductility, but the local buckling in the weakened zone and the overall lateral deformation may occur in strong earthquake.

Integrating economic considerations with operational and embodied emissions into a decision support system for the optimal ranking of building retrofit options [PDF]
In the UK, 87% of dwellings and 60% of non-domestic buildings that will be standing in 2050 have already been built. Therefore, the greatest energy savings and emissions reductions will be achieved through retrofit of existing buildings.

Experimental Investigation of MgAl-NO2 and MgAl-CO3 LDHs on Durability of Mortar and Concrete
Two kinds of layered double hydroxides (LDHs), MgAl-NO2 (N-LDH) and MgAl-CO3 (C-LDH), were incorporated to study the durability of mortar and concrete. The LDH contents of mortar were 1%, 2%, and 4% by mass and the LDH contents of concrete were 0.5%, 1%,

Seismic Performance of Curved Bridges with Longitudinal Slope
A curved bridge test model with a scale ratio of 1:10 was constructed to investigate the influence of site conditions on curved bridges with longitudinal slopes based on a similar theory. The natural ground motions of five different groups, namely, Sites
