Static Analysis: An Introduction

An Introduction to Speech Sciences (Acoustic Analysis of Speech)

Speech sciences deal with the acoustical characteristics of speech by means of sophisticated soft wares as well as hard wares. Although, a speech science is a well known science in the developed countries, especially the western societies, however, it has been remained almost unknown in Iran, though, in recent years a group of scholars have been involved in this branch of science. The applicati...

An Energy Based Adaptive Pushover Analysis for Nonlinear Static Procedures

Nonlinear static procedure (NSP) is a common technique to predict seismic demands on various building structures by subjecting a monotonically increasing horizontal loading (pushover) to the structure. Therefore, the pushover analysis is an important part of each NSP. Accordingly, the current paper aims at investigating the efficiencyof various algorithms of lateral load patterns applied to the...

“ Survival Analysis : An Introduction ”

There is considerable interest among economists in models of durations, which we often characterize as survival times preceding an event. These models originated for the most part in biostatistics and quality control where the “event” was relapse of an illness, death, or failure of a product component. In economics the event is sometimes more upbeat: ending a spell of unemployment by finding a ...
