Irregular buildings make up a large portion of  urban infrastructure. Presence of irregularities can be due to architectural and  user changes in building stories. Main objective of this article is evaluate seismic performance of structures with vertical irregularities. Seismic responses are obtained by enveloping peak inelastic responses resulting from pushover analyses according to provided p...

Compliant vertical access risers (CVARs) are considered as efficient and robust alternative options to achieve cost efficiency safety. Design uncertainties emerge owing the limited understanding of effects various parameters related structural properties marine loads. In this paper, a reasonable three-dimensional (3D) numerical model CVAR with internal flow is presented based on slender rod the...

Faces contain structural information, for identifying individuals, as well as changeable information, which can convey emotion and direct attention. Neuroimaging studies reveal brain regions that exhibit preferential responses to invariant [1, 2] or changeable [3-5] facial aspects but the functional connections between these regions are unknown. We addressed this issue by causally disrupting tw...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cerebral autoregulation can be evaluated by measuring relative blood flow changes in response to a steady-state change in the blood pressure (static method) or during the response to a rapid change in blood pressure (dynamic method). The purpose of this study was to compare the results of the two methods in humans with both intact and impaired autoregulatory capacity. M...

introduction: one of the main sections of warm up is stretching which the importance of them is static and dynamic stretching. the purpose of this study was to examine the effects of static and dynamic stretching within a pre-exercise warm-up on the static and dynamic in soccer players. materials and methods: eighteen physical education female students (height: 159.68 ± 5.94 cm; mass: 60.21 ± 5...
