The use of eddy covariance (EC) CO2 flux measurements in data assimilation and other applications requires an estimate of the random uncertainty. In previous studies, the (classical) two-tower approach has yielded robust uncertainty estimates, but care must be taken to meet the often competing requirements of statistical independence (nonoverlapping footprints) and ecosystem homogeneity when ch...

The Hanoï Tower problem is a classic exercise in recursive programming: the solution has a simple recursive definition, and its complexity and the matching lower bound correspond to the solution of a simple recursive function (the solution is so simple that most students memorize it and regurgitate it at exams without truly understanding it). We describe how some minor change in the rules of th...

The problem of the Hanoï Tower is a classic exercise in recursive programming: the solution has a simple recursive definition, and its complexity and the matching lower bound are the solution of a simple recursive function (the solution is so easy that most students memorize it and regurgitate it at exams without truly understanding it). We describe how some very minor changes in the rules of t...

The effect analysis of strain rate on power transmission tower-line system under seismic excitation is studied in this paper. A three-dimensional finite element model of a transmission tower-line system is created based on a real project. Using theoretical analysis and numerical simulation, incremental dynamic analysis of the power transmission tower-line system is conducted to investigate the ...

The article describes the design features of Ostankino TV tower in Moscow. main results earlier works load-bearing reinforced concrete structures column and foundations are presented article. authors examined internal external surfaces entire height with selective defectoscopy determined actual strength by non-destructive methods. figures this work show structural elements a distribution graph ...

The Dynamics characteristic of Tower Crane is complicated under the wind excitation which complicates the wind-induced vibration response analysis. The random wind-induced response analysis of tower crane is presented based on finite element method and Virtual Excitation Method. The pulsating wind loads are changed into multiple-point correlation stationary excitation. This papers uses Davenpor...

The paper describes the research activities conducted on the 13 century Rognosa tower in San Gimignano (Siena, Italy), the historic town inscribed on the Unesco World Heritage List in 1990. A structural nonlinear analysis of the tower has been performed via the freeware finite element code NOSA. The finite element mesh of the tower has been generated using a three-dimensional digital model of t...
