a frequency domain dynamic analysis is needed to obtain the response of structures constructed on a system of base isolators on flexible soil when subjected to earthquake ground motion. in such systems, the lateral stiffness of the base isolators is so small, compared to the structural stiffness, that in an earthquake attack the fundamental vibration mode dominates the response. with this in mi...

We evaluate the relic density of the lightest neutralino, the lightest supersymmetric particle, in the Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM). For the first time, we include all coannihilation processes between neutralinos and charginos for any neutralino mass and composition. We use the most sophisticated routines for integrating the cross sections and the Boltzmann equa...

This paper describes how videos can be implemented into printed photo books. More than half of the consumers take videos with DSCs, the other half with camcorders, smartphones and other devices. Therefore consumers making photo books are a great target group to offer a service implementing videos. Using the CEWE PHOTOBOOK software a consumer can select scenes (frames) of the video and have it p...
