F-connectors of a conventional design have gained wide acceptance in the cable TV industry due to their low cost and simplicity. However, at higher frequencies their impedance degrades. Failures of conventional F-connectors generated interest in a similar product but of increased quality. Advances in connector technology made it possible to provide a higher quality connector. This paper describ...

composite concrete-steel plate shear walls are the most critical resisting structural members that resist lateral and axial loads. This type of wall consisting of two steel faceplates presenting the outer skin, infill concrete and shear connectors which are used to provide the composite action of the steel faceplates with infill concrete in order to increase the strength and to reduce the local...

This paper presents connectors as part of a conceptual design framework for modeling CORBA distributed object architectures We propose the concept of connectors for ab stracting complex object dependencies and introduce connectors for CORBA object relations based on OMG s event service speci cation and relationship service speci cation With con nectors modeling of component integration and inte...

introduction: the people’s mental, intellectual and physical nonreadiness to confront earthquake may result in disastrous outcomes. this research aimed to study of effects of a training intervention on health connector’s knowledge regarding their approach to earthquake in health-training centers in east of tehran. methods: this research which is a semi-experimental study was designed and execut...

Architecture-based software development has shown great promise in increasing the flexibility, adaptability, and reusability of software systems. A popular definition of a software architecture partitions a system into three key elements: components, connectors, and configurations. The connectors in a software architecture play an important role in determining how flexible and adaptable a softw...

During rehabilitation of residential buildings built in the first half 20th century, it is necessary to strengthen timber floors so they can fulfill requirements strength and serviceability according contemporary regulations. Floors made monolithic girders be most easily strengthened by forming a composite structure with reinforced concrete slab supported on trapezoidal steel sheeting, appropri...

We extend off-the-shelf shape analyses with the ability to infer numeric relations between directly or indirectly connected heap cells. Specifically, we introduce the concept of connectors, an instrumentation that retains relations between heap cells even if these cells are merged into summary nodes. Managing connectors is based on applying generic fold and expand operations on a numeric abstra...

In this paper we report on our quantitative analysis of 25 logical connectors in advanced Japanese university students’ essay writing and compare it with the use in comparable types of native English writing. We also present a brief comparison of the Japanese learners’ usage with that of advanced French, Swedish or Chinese learners of English. As our research targets, we chose 25 logical connec...

Connectors are used to realize inter-component interactions in component systems. Apart from their primary function, which is mediating the communication, connectors can also support additional features that, while orthogonal to the primary function, may benefit from the placement in connectors. The features that fit well in connectors are those implemented using interception or filtering. Such...
