This paper introduces a new approach for the seismic performance evaluation of planar RC walls. Compared to existing assessment guidelines, such as those in ASCE/SEI 41-17, where limits are described by plastic rotation or lateral drift, proposed method uses local (strain) quantities, obtained from computational models. The analyses rely on user-friendly implementation nonlinear truss model str...

The goal of this research was to investigate the potential of newly synthesized gold complex trichloro(2,4,6-trimethylpyridine)Au(III) as an anticancer agent. The gold(III) complex was synthesized and grafted on nanoporous silica, MCM-41, to produce AuCl(3)@PF-MCM- 41 (AuCl(3) grafted on pyridine-functionalized MCM-41). The toxicity of trichloro(2,4,6- trimethylpyridine)Au(III) and AuCl(3)@PF-M...

Channel estimation problem is one of key technical issues in time-variant multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems. To estimate the MIMO channel, least mean square (LMS) algorithm was applied to adaptive channel estimation (ACE). Since the MIMO channel is often described by sparse channel model, such sparsity could be exploited and then estimation performance could be improve...

Competition Overdose: How Free Market Mythology Transformed Us from Citizen Kings to Servants by Maurice E Stucke and Ariel Ezrachi. USA: Harper Business, 2020, 402 pp ($32.50 paperback). ISBN: 978-0-06-289283-6. - Volume 41 Issue 3

Sparse channel estimation problem is one of challenge technical issues in stable broadband wireless communications. Based on square error criterion (SEC), adaptive sparse channel estimation (ASCE) methods, e.g., zero-attracting least mean square error (ZA-LMS) algorithm and reweighted ZA-LMS (RZA-LMS) algorithm, have been proposed to mitigate noise interferences as well as to exploit the inhere...

We begin with the simplest possible introduction to supergravity. Then we discuss its spin 3/2 stress tensor; these results are new. Next, we discuss boundary conditions on fields and boundary actions for N = 1 supergravity. Finally, we discuss new boundary contributions to the mass and central charge of monopoles in N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory. All models are in 3 + 1 dimensions. YITP-SB-06-21

Broadband signal transmission over frequencyselective fading channel often requires accurate channel state information at receiver. One of the most attracting adaptive channel estimation methods is least mean square (LMS) algorithm. However, LMS-based method is often degraded by random scaling of input training signal. To improve the estimation performance, in this paper we apply the standard l...
