This study investigates the efficacy of optimal semi-active dampers for achieving the best results in seismic response mitigation of adjacent buildings connected to each other by magnetorheological (MR) dampers under earthquakes. One of the challenges in the application of this study is to develop an effective optimal control strategy that can fully utilize the capabilities of the MR dampers. H...

Abstract Housing construction is a common activity and always needed from time to time. House can be in the form of building new house or renovating an existing building. The impact work adjacent structure something that cannot avoided but must minimized. case study this research aims increase awareness all parties project related potential damage surrounding buildings may occur. This was condu...

A novel adaptive current biased CLASS-A/shallow AB RF power ampli ̄er is demonstrated in this paper. By theoretical deduction, a prototype is described to improve the linearity of a linear PA. With the realization on Jazz 0:35 m SiGe HBT process and test veri ̄cation, the novel adaptive current biased RF power ampli ̄er shows 3 7 dB improvement of the ACPR at the output power of 19 dBm to meet the...

The mol-ecule of the title compound, C(8)H(8)N(4)O(2), is nearly planar, with a dihedral angle between the rings of 1.1 (1)°. Adjacent mol-ecules are linked into a layered structure by hydr-oxy-oxo O-H⋯O and triazol-yl-hydr-oxy N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Only one of the H atoms of the pyramidal amino group is engaged in building up the infinite layer. The second H atom of the amino group also shows ...

When a building is located in an urban area, it is exposed to a wind of different characteristics then wind over an open terrain. This is development of turbulent wake region behind an upstream building. The interaction with upstream building can produce significant changes in the response of the tall building. Here, in this paper, an attempt has been made to study wind induced interference eff...

Consider the graph Γ obtained by taking as vertices the flags in a finite building of spherical type defined over Fq, where two flags are adjacent when they are opposite. We show that the squares of the eigenvalues of Γ are powers of q.

The building block hypothesis implies that genetic algorithm (GA) effectiveness is influenced by the relative location of epistatic genes on the chromosome. We demonstrate this effect in four experiments, where chromosomes with adjacent epistatic genes provide improved results over chromosomes with separated epistatic genes. We also show that information-theoretic reconstructability analysis ca...

Herein we report novel naphthalene homo-oligoamides, derived from 4-amino-3-methoxy-naphthalene-2-carboxylic acid and 4-amino-1-methoxy-naphthalene-2-carboxylic acid as monomer building blocks, that display an anti-periplanar arrangement of the naphthyl rings, primarily induced by steric interactions between adjacent groups and functionalities.

In this paper we present an approach that allows automatic reconstruction of building façades from 4D point cloud generated from tomographic SAR processing. The approach is modular and works by extracting façade points from the point density projected onto the ground plane. Individual façades are segmented using an unsupervised clustering procedure. Surface (flat or curved) model parameters of ...
