Making composite steel higher strength and higher ductility via introducing carbon diffusion strategy

Higher Ed's Carbon Addiction

Introducing GIS for Business in Higher Education

Schools of business can benefit from adoption of geographic information systems (GIS). A brief overview of GIS technology is presented along with an example showcasing how it can be presented in a business school. GIS benefits for business schools, their students, and faculty are discussed. A comprehensive approach for promoting such spatial thinking is presented. The goal is to empower faculty...

On Introducing Higher Order Functions in ABEL

We discuss how the 1'st order speci cation and programming language ABEL could be extended with higher order functions. Several issues arise, related to subtyping, parameterization, strictness of generators and de ned functions, and to the choice between lambda expressions and currying. The paper can be regarded as an exercise in language design: how to introduce higher order functions under th...

Stability and Ductility of Steel Structures

The objective of this paper is to provide a review of the Direct Strength Method for coldformed steel design. The Direct Strength Method was formally adopted in North American design specifications in 2004 as an alternative to the traditional Effective Width Method. The appendix of this paper provides an excerpt from the North American Specification which provides the Direct Strength Method equ...

Introducing an algal carbon‐concentrating mechanism into higher plants: location and incorporation of key components

Many eukaryotic green algae possess biophysical carbon-concentrating mechanisms (CCMs) that enhance photosynthetic efficiency and thus permit high growth rates at low CO2 concentrations. They are thus an attractive option for improving productivity in higher plants. In this study, the intracellular locations of ten CCM components in the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii were conf...
