To mitigate the radio-frequency (RF) performance degradation caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection device, low capacitance (low-C) design on ESD protection device is a solution. With the smaller layout area and small parasitic capacitance under the same ESD robustness, silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) device has been used as an effective on-chip ESD protection device in RF ICs. I...

Progressive collapse is defined as the spread of an initial damage from one member to another, leading to extensive partial or total collapse of the structure. In this research, the potential of progressive collapse due to a sudden removal of vertical load-bearing elements in reinforced concrete buildings structures with different floor plans such as geometrical regular and irregular floor plan...

ideas well, those who waffle, those who are obstructive, and those who always try to help. There are some who are always listened to with respect and those who lose the audience straightaway. Committee work is now a vital part of the work of a doctor who is concerned with getting the best he can for the National Health Service and those it serves and those in its service. Those who recognise it...

Introduction . Current requirements for structural engineering oblige designers to use structures capable of resisting progressive collapse. Such include multiribbed reinforced concrete waffle slabs. Spatial systems are multiple indeterminate, their calculation is carried out in software based on the finite element method. Models ribbed can be developed from different types elements. The forces...
