moment-resisting frames have extensive usage in earthquake-prone areas and high ability in energy dissipation.after the earthquake in northridge 1994,kobe 1995 fixed connections of steel structures have shown poor performance and generally they were caught brittle fracture of beam flange weld to the column.in order to remedy to avoid similar situations in future earthquakes,researchers introduc...

this paper presents an approach to modeling of field penetration and gives contribution to understanding the real effects of the fields and the sensitivity of human model to electromagnetic radiation generated by mobile antenna. when a human body is exposed to the electromagnetic radiation, because human body contain 70% of liquid, and it contain more liquid near of head, heart, abdomen (near o...

a new approach is proposed to model a crack in orthotropic composite media using the extended finite element method (xfem). the xfem uses the concept of partition of unity in addition to meshless basic idea of approximating a field variable by its values at a set of surrounding nodes. as a result, higher order approximations can be designed with the same total number of degrees of freedom. in t...

we propose a new generation of unbiased (bias-free) antenna-less cw thz photomixer emitters array made of asymmetric msm gratings with subwavelength pitch, operating in optical near-field regime. we take advantage of the size effects in near-field optics and electrostatics to demonstrate the possibility of enhancing the thz power by four orders of magnitude, as compared with a similar array of ...

INTRODUCTION This chapter concludes the model of internet consumer behavior by describing some key moderating variables such as gender, need for cognition (NFC) and optimum stimulation level (OSL)(Figure 1).

This paper presents the application of Near Field Communication (NFC) to the healthcare sector. Although a number of papers have been written to discuss different NFC applications in the healthcare sector, none of them address the potential challenges facing illiterate patients worldwide. According to UNESCO institute for statistics, the Sub-Saharan African region has the highest percentage of ...

In this paper we have conducted a review of the techniques which lead to the evaluation of the nailfold caplillarosocopy techniques to the present level. This paper also discusses main diseases which can be diagnosed with the help of NFC (Nail fold Caplliaryscopy). We have worked on identifying issues related to the implementation of the nailfold capillarocopy for diagnoses as well as the basic...
