Long-range spatial coherence can be induced in incoherent thermal emitters by embedding a periodic grating within material supporting propagating polaritons or dielectric modes. However, only single spatially coherent mode is supported purely emitters. While various designs have been proposed for the purpose of allowing arbitrary emission profiles, limitations associated with partial are not kn...

Abstract Superstructure optimization is a powerful but computationally demanding task that can be used to select the optimal structure among many alternatives within single optimization. In chemical engineering, such problems naturally arise in process design, where different need considered simultaneously minimize specific objective function (e.g., production costs or global warming impact). C...

There have been many observations of the solar and astrophysical spectra various ions. The diagnostics these require atomic data that include energy levels, oscillator strengths, transition rates, collision strengths. These calculated using Superstructure Distorted-wave codes. We describe calculations for calculate intensity ratios compare them with to infer electron densities temperatures plas...

Abstract Proper structural system and performance-based seismic design are the key issues in designing high-rise building structures. This project has unique facade shape complex plane function layout, vertical layout irregular. The superstructure adopts assembled integral concrete frame-shear wall structure, which is judged as out-of-code by review. Firstly, site conditions, foundation form se...

The research described in this paper focuses on the application of modal strain techniques on a multi-girder bridge superstructure with the objectives of identifying the presence of damage and detecting false damage diagnosis for such structures. The case study is a one-third scale model of a slab-on-girder composite bridge superstructure, comprised of a steel-free concrete deck with FRP rebars...
