Metallic yielding dampers are damaged early before the main frame during earthquakes and take over damage of frame. Under assumption elasticity, both maximum residual deformation expected to be reduced. However, may damaged, elasticity not hold under major earthquakes. large deformable elastic plates have larger than standard steel core damper can used as braces reduce seismic response building...

This paper aims to identify the best solution for three SOx scrubber systems by evaluating their economic, environmental and technical performances: open-loop, closed-loop hybrid systems. It adopted a novel muti-criteria decision-making model which can be introduced as combination of lifecycle cost assessments, fuzzy-TOPSIS fuzzy-AHP. The analysis results case study 72,100 gross-ton cargo ships...

A multi-modal corridor accommodates multiple modes of energy and transportation infrastructure within the same right-of-way. The existing literature on routing in raster space often focuses one mode with no consideration width. This is not a realistic assumption, especially if are to co-exist wide Moreover, newer methods that consider width cannot take into account multi-modality arrangement co...

This study focused on field application of muti-biomarkers and Integrated Biomarkers Response (IBR) index in transplant experiment Mytilus edulis for environmental assessment. Individuals collected from a clean area (S1) Rongcheng City, were thus transplanted to four contaminated stations (S2, S3, S4, S5) the coastal areas easternmost Shandong Peninsula over 1-year period. The activities oxidat...

Data clustering is the process of identifying natural groupings or clusters based on a certain similarity measure in muti-dimensional data. Aiming at dynamic problem where number cannot be determined advance, hybrid method marine predators algorithm (MPA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) was proposed. The position update strategy PSO used to make up for lack MPA global searching. fixed-len...

Abstract Accurate discriminative regions proposal has an important effect for fine-grained image recognition. The vision transformer (ViT) brings about a striking in computer duo to its innate muti-head self-attention mechanism. However, the attention maps are gradually similar after certain layers and since ViT adds classification token perform classification, it is unable effectively select p...

Hyperbranched poly(methylene-bis-acrylamide), poly(bis(N,N-propyl acryl amide)) (HPNPAM) and poly(bis(N,N-butyl acryl amide)) were synthesized by reversible additionfragmentation chain transfer polymerization. HPNPAMs showed lower critical solution temperature (LCST) due to an appropriate ratio between hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups. The effects of reaction conditions on polymerization were...
