Progressive collapse analysis of reinforced concrete in buildings L-shaped plan [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2018
One of the most important issues discussed structural passive defense is progressive collapse. Progressive collapse occurs the sudden destruction caused by the deliberate structural member by accidents or disasters, such as earthquakes and terrorist ...

Evaluating the Sensitivity of Growing Degree Days as an Agro-Climatic Indicator of the Climate Change Impact: A Case Study of the Russian Far East

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2020
Climate is a key factor in agriculture, but we are unable to adequately predict future climates. Although some studies have addressed the short and long-run impacts of climate change on agriculture, few of them specifically focused on the analysis of its

High-sensitivity plasmonic refractive index sensing using graphene

open access: yes, 2017
We theoretically demonstrate a high-sensitivity, graphene-plasmon based refractive index sensor working in the mid-infrared at room temperature. The bulk figure of merit of our sensor reaches values above $10$, but the key aspect of our proposed ...

Fano-resonance-based refractive index sensor with ultra-high sensitivity

open access: yesResults in Physics, 2021
In this paper, we propose a Fano-resonance-based refractive index sensor with ultra-high sensitivity. The sensor comprises a metal–insulator-metal (MIM) waveguide with two rectangular stubs coupled with a circular resonator embedded with a defective ...

Highly sensitive refractometer with photonic crystal fiber long-period grating

open access: yes, 2007
We present highly sensitive refractometers based on a long-period grating in a large mode area PCF. The maximum sensitivity is 1500 nm/RIU at a refractive index of 1.33, the highest reported for any fiber grating.

Highly sensitive fiber Bragg grating refractive index sensors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
We combine fiber Bragg grating (FBG) technology with a wet chemical etch-erosion procedure and demonstrate two types of refractive index sensors using single-mode optical fibers. The first index sensor device is an etch-eroded single FBG with a radius of

Control vector parameterization with sensitivity based refinement applied to baking optimization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
In bakery production, product quality attributes as crispness, brownness, crumb and water content are developed by the transformations that occur during baking and which are initiated by heating. A quality driven procedure requires process optimization

Metamaterial absorber integrated microfluidic terahertz sensors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Spatial overlap between the electromagnetic fields and the analytes is a key factor for strong light-matter interaction leading to high sensitivity for label-free refractive index sensing. Usually, the overlap and therefore the sensitivity are limited by
