The outrigger arm system and belt truss with braced core in the center of the structure surrounded by belts truss, is an efficient and reliable system for high-rise buildings against severe lateral forces such as earthquake and wind. The purpose of this research is investigating the outrigger arm system and belt truss with the braced core under lateral loads. Another purpose of this research is...

This paper aims to develop a writing robot by recognizing the speech signal from the user. The robot arm constructed mainly for the disabled people who can’t perform writing on their own. Here, dynamic time warping (DTW) algorithm is used to recognize the speech signal from the user. The action performed by the robot arm in the environment is done by reducing the redundancy which frequently fac...

In this paper, a new method is proposed for calibrating a planar array of general geometry with respect to errors in location, phase and gain, even when all errors are present simultaneously (global calibration). The method requires the use of three pilot sources, which operate one at a time and from at least two different azimuth angles. Since the sources need not operate simultaneously, one o...

The sum-connectivity index R′(G) of a graph G is the sum of the weights (du +dv) − 2 of all edges uv of G, where du and dv are the degrees of the vertices u and v in G. This index was recently introduced in [B. Zhou, N. Trinajstić, On a novel connectivity index, J. Math. Chem. 46(2009), 1252–1270]. In this paper, we give the sharp lower bound of the sum-connectivity index of n-vertex unicyclic ...

The presence of benzpyrene hydroxylase activity in the small intestine, lung, and kidney of the normal rat has been shown by quantitative assay and compared with the level of activity in the liver. The intraperitoneal injection of methylcholanthrene in creased the level of activity found in each of the four tissues examined. The stimu lation by methylcholanthrene was inhibited by the simultaneo...

Delayed light emission (DLE) from aggregated chlorophyll is used to probe energy transfer between aggre­ gated chlorophyll and ß-carotene. Preilluminated ßcarotene when injected into a dark chamber containing aggregated chlorophyll, induces DLE from aggregated chlorophyll. If the dark chamber contains only monomeric chlorophyll, there is no DLE. The intensity of DLE is de­ pendent on the time o...

In a series of previous papers, it has been shown that the onset of an atypical growth in mice produces significant changes in the electrodynamic fields. This was true in the case of spontaneous tumors (Burr, Smith, and Strong'), in tumors induced by methylcolanthrene (Burr, Strong, and Smith2), and tumors induced by external application of benzpyrene (Burr, Smith, and Strong3). In all cases th...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C6H5Cl2NO2S, contains two mol-ecules with similar conformations (r.m.s. overlay fit for the non-H atoms = 0.067 Å). Atoms attached to the pendent Csp (3)-S bond are arranged in a staggered conformation with one of the Cl atoms anti to the C atom in the aromatic ring [C-S-C-Cl torsion angles = 178.41 (11) and -176.70 (13)°]. In the crystal, mol-ecules a...
