Structural vibration control is one of the most important features in structural engineering. Real-time information about seismic resultant forces is required for deciding module of intelligent control systems. Evaluation of lateral forces during an earthquake is a complicated problem considering uncertainties of gravity loads amount and distribution and earthquake characteristics. An artificia...

sarygamesh basin one of the bulhary chay tributary take place in moghan plain, northeastern azarbyjan area in iran and south edge of kora- araz zone. aims of this research are study specificities and geomorphic evolution of sarygamesh basin, survey rivers work on structure and geologic formation, and corresponding hydrographic with earth structure. toward above aim is used to litologic, structu...

Neuroimaging findings have proposed that some brain regions including the precuneus, posterior cingulate, and medial prefrontal cortex play an essential role of a structural core in the brain. Network organization endures rapid alterations in development with changes in axonal synaptic connectivity, white matter volume, and the thickness of corresponding cortical regions. Structural maturation ...

We introduce the concept of the network architect to extend theory explaining how brokers create and manage structural holes in mediated markets. We argue that a broker’s social resources and dependence on the market, along with exogenous deal conditions, influence the broker’s motivations and willingness to make tradeoffs between long-term and short-term considerations when constructing deal n...

This article provides a structural analysis of corporate interlocks in Germany at the beginning of the 20th century. The main goal is, first, to point out that dense interlocking goes along with a socio-economic concentration process originating in the German Empire, and is "freezing" as a proved institutional solution during the Weimar Republic (Abelshauser, 2005; Streeck et al., 2001). Second...

One of the most important fundamental properties of Bayesian networks is the representational power, re ecting what kind of functions they can or cannot represent. In this paper, we establish an association between the structural complexity of Bayesian networks and their representational power. We use the maximum number of nodes' parents as the measure for the Bayesian network structural comple...

Our project analyzes the United States domestic airport network. We attempt to determine which airports are most vital in maintaining the underlying infrastructure for all domestic flights within the United States. To perform our analysis, we use data from the first quarter of 2010 and use several methods and algorithms that are frequently used in network science. Using these statistics, we ide...

Social Network Site (SNS) service providers have a strong interest in knowing which factors drive different kinds of behavior in SNSs, in order to be able to foster behavior that is beneficial to their business models. Current studies neglect the factors driving Observing behavior: behavior that provides members with information within SNSs. Drawing from the Uses and Gratifications Theory, we p...
