The use of spent grains as an additional component diets in animal nutrition modern conditions is a very important issue. As result its seasonal formation large quantities, there need for processing to extend the shelf life. Regardless direction further (canning, drying) or transportation farm located at considerable distance, it effective partially dehydrate raw materials and reduce initial hu...

The main focus of this research has been to investigate the effectiveness of optimal single and multiple Tuned Mass Dampers (TMDs) under different ground motions as well as to develop a procedure for designing TMD and MTMDs to be effective under multiple records. To determine the parameters of TMD and MTMDs under multiple records various scenarios have been suggested and their efficiency has be...

We study the delocalization effect of a short-range repulsive interaction on the ground state of a finite density of spinless fermions in strongly disordered one dimensional lattices. The density matrix renormalization group method is used to explore the charge density and the sensitivity of the ground state energy with respect to the boundary condition (the persistent current) for a wide range...

although there is enough knowledge indicating on the influence of frequency content of input motion on the deformation demand of structures, state-of-the-practice seismic studies use the intensity measures such as peak ground acceleration (pga) which are not frequency dependent. the v max/a max ratio of strong ground motions can be used in seismic hazard studies as the representative of frequen...

In this paper the geological structure and earthquake activity nearby Kunming Basin, Yunnan, China, have been studied. Different ground motion attenuation models used in Japan and in Yunnan, China, have been reviewed, and quantitative comparisons between the models have been made. The zonation of peak horizontal acceleration corresponding to a seldom happened earthquake and the zonation of the ...

The feasibility of an earthquake early warning Shield in Greece is being explored as a European demonstration project. This will be the first early warning system in Europe. The island of Revithoussa is a liquid natural gas storage facility near Athens from which a pipeline runs to a gas distribution centre in Athens. The Shield is being centred on these facilities. The purpose here is to analy...

To the conventional Peierls-Hubbard model, involving both on-site ( U) and nearest-neighbor ( V) Coulomb repulsions, we add "o5'-diagonal" terms, not expressible purely in terms of site densities, representing bond-bond ( F) and mixed bond-site (X) electron-electron repulsive interactions involving nearest neighbors. We review earlier analyses of these interactions and discuss relative magnitud...
