The multitrace domain decomposition surface integral equation (MT-DD-SIE) originally developed to analyze electromagnetic scattering from dielectric composite objects is extended efficiently account for perfect electrically conducting (PEC) bodies. This achieved by adopting Robin transmission conditions (RTCs) PEC surfaces. These PEC-RTCs, which are the only governing equations a body, used “co...

In this Perspective on the study by Bryant and colleagues, Alex Tsai discusses the evidence supporting lay worker-administered, behavioral interventions for women survivors of interpersonal violence.

   The main purpose of the present investigation is to analyze more comprehensively the size-dependent nonlinear free vibration response of multilayer functionally graded graphene platelet-reinforced composite (GPLRC) nanobeams. As a consequence, both of the hardening stiffness and softening stiffness of size effect are taken into consideration by implementation of the nonlocal str...

The study of earthworms of Taiwan began with the Japanese scholars Goto and Hatai (1898). The collecting sites from available publications are limited to Ilan, Taipei, Taoyuan, Hsinchu, Miaoli, Kaohsiung, and Pingtung. A total of 26 species be...

Service-oriented Web applications allow users to exploit applications over networks and access them from a remote system at the client side, including mobile phones. Individual services are built separately with comprehensive functionalities. In this article, the authors transform a standalone offline novelty mining application into a service-oriented application and allow users to access it ov...
