Results of an experimental investigation of the seismic performance of prefabricated column-footing connections are presented. Tests were conducted on six 1/4-scale prefabricated column specimens inserted into prefabricated footings in two Groups. Group-1 consisted of four specimens, which were tested under constant axial load and cyclic inelastic lateral displacements. The remaining two specim...

RESUMO O inglês é a língua franca da academia. Publicar nesse idioma aumenta disseminação do conhecimento científico e as possibilidades de citação. Frente ao exposto, buscamos contribuir para o aumento impacto produção científica brasileira, propondo recursos pedagógicos baseados em padrões linguísticos obtidos com uma abordagem direcionada por corpus. Por meio análise empírica um corpus artig...

Background Foot problems are highly prevalent in older people, and prefabricated (‘off-the-shelf’) foot orthoses are frequently prescribed in this age-group. However, such devices are susceptible to material compression and deformation, which may reduce their effectiveness over time. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the difference in plantar pressures between prefabricated or...

Most contemporary approaches to linguistic modeling, influenced by generative grammar theory, emphasize newly created, novel sentences. Nevertheless, there is a growing awareness of the importance of formulaic language, including formulas, idioms, expletives, memorized speech, slang, conventional expressions, sayings, clichés, and proverbs. Review of linguistic descriptions, psycholinguistic ex...

Modern software frameworks provide a set of common and prefabricated software artifacts that support engineers in developing large-scale software systems. Framework-related information can be implemented in source code, comments or configuration files, but in the latter two cases, current reverse engineering approaches miss important facts reducing the quality of subsequent analysis tasks. We i...
