The aim of the present paper is to evaluate the influence of the Soil- Foundation- Structure Interaction (SFSI) effects on the component demand modifier factor of concrete gravity beams based on ASCE 41-06 standard. To this end, the beam on the nonlinear Winkler foundation approach is employed which is a simple and efficient method. At first, four sets of 3-, 6-, 10- and 15-storey concrete mome...

2014 Reinterpretation of the experimentally determined imaginary part of the spin excitation response at q = 2 kF has led to the existence of a maximum in constant volume temperature dependences. This fact, together with the observed similarity between 03C1/T and Im ~(2 kF), has triggered the development of a theory based on existing treatments for the intra-chain electron-electron interactions...

This paper proposes an algorithm that we named as a New Static load balancing algorithm in cloud computing. The proposed algorithm is using the concept of both Active Monitoring Load Balancing Algorithm and Throttled Load Balancing Algorithm. The detailed design, pseudo code and implementation of algorithm are also presented in this paper. The results (Overall Response Time and Datacenter Proce...

A static limit analysis approach is proposed for assessing the collapse capacity of axisymmetric masonry domes subject to horizontal forces. The problem formulation based on sound theoretical framework provided by classical statics shells. After introducing shell stress resultants dome mid-surface, integral equilibrium equations are enforced its typical part. Heyman’s assumptions infinite compr...

If the load F produces a linear or angular momentum it cannot be resolved by any framework. Therefore we restrict ourselves to loads with ∑ pi fi = 0 and ∑ pi 〈pi , fi〉 = 0. (The vector pi denotes pi rotated by 90 degrees.) If a framework can resolve any load it is called statically rigid. Static rigidity is an equivalent condition for infinitesimal rigidity (see [3]). In general a statically r...

the poly(ethyleneimine)-functionalized silica has been developed successfully as an effective adsorbent for the adsorption removal of cu(ii) ions from electroplating wastewater. the influences of ph, contact time and initial concentration of cu(ii) ions on the adsorption capacity and the effect of adsorbent dosage on the removal efficiency of cu(ii) ions from electroplating wastewater were inve...

To what extent free response generation in different tasks uses common and task-specific neurocognitive processes has remained unclear. Here, we investigated overlap and differences in neural activity during musical improvisation and pseudo-random response generation. Brain activity was measured using fMRI in a group of professional classical pianists, who performed musical improvisation of mel...

Schedulability analysis for hard real-time systems requires bounds on the execution times of its tasks. To obtain useful bounds in the presence of caches, cache analysis is mandatory. The subject-matter of this article is the static analysis of the tree-based PLRU cache replacement policy (pseudo least-recently used), for which the precision of analyses lags behind those of other policies. We i...
