Evaluation of horizontal to vertical spectral ratio and standard spectral ratio methods for mapping shear wave velocity across anchorage, Alaska

Liquefaction Hazard assessment using Horizontal-to-Vertical Spectral Ratio of Microtremor

In this paper, the spectral ratio of mmicrotremor, HSVR, is presented for estimating the liquefaction potential of layered soil in the coastal area of the Persian Gulf, which consists of a hard sandstone layer situated between two saturated sandy layers. The surface layer is thin, with a thickness between 2 and 5 meters. The purpose of this paper is to identify the relation between the liquefac...

Analysis of optimum window-to-wall ratio in Horizontal expanded and vertical expanded windows, Tehran, Iran

Good daylighting design in buildings not only provides a comfortable luminous environment, but also delivers energy savings and comfortable and healthy environments for building occupants. The importance of using daylight in educational buildings is because of the synchrony of operating hours of the school and daylight plenitude the sky. Daylight improves environmental quality and saves energy ...

New spectral methods for ratio cut partitioning and clustering

Partitioning of circuit netlists is important in many phases of VLSI design, ranging from layout to testing and hardware simulation. The ratio cut objective function [29] has received much attention since it naturally captures both mincut and equipartition, the two traditional goals of partitioning. In this paper, we show that the second smallest eigenvalue of a matrix derived from the netlist ...
