The DICHROWEB web server enables on-line analyses of circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopic data, providing calculated secondary structure content and graphical analyses comparing calculated structures and experimental data. The server is located at http://www.cryst.bbk.ac.uk/cdweb and may be accessed via a password-limited user ID, available upon completion of a registration form. The server fa...

This paper presents the TIACRITIS web agent and textbook for teaching intelligence analysts the critical thinking skills needed to perform evidence-based reasoning. They are based on a computational theory which views Intelligence Analysis as ceaseless discovery of evidence, hypotheses, and arguments, in a complex world that is changing all the time. TIACRITIS helps students learn about the pro...

The power consumption of web servers and associated security devices is becoming an increasing issue both from an economic and environmental perspective. This paper analyses the power consumption of both security software and web server software and concludes that traditional architectures waste energy with repeated transitions up and down the TCP/IP stack. This contention is proved by comparin...

in this paper a new method based on strut-and-tie model (stm) is proposed to determine the shear capacity of simply supported rc deep beams and an efficiency factor for concrete with considering the effect of web reinforcements. it is assumed that, the total carried shear force by rc deep beam provided by two independent resistance, namely diagonal concrete strut due to strut-and-tie mechanism ...

the basic strategy of reduce the ductility demand and related concentrated tensions at moment resistance connections is reduce the section of the beam at connected region to column. by this method plastic hinge done at the reduced cross section and this local reduction decreases the demand of the components of connection. on this basis, in present study a new beam-to-column moment connection wi...
