recently, scientists developed the seismic rehabilitation of structures and their points of view were changed from strength to the performance of structures. nonlinear static procedure (nsp) or pushover analysis is a new method that is chosen for its speed and simplicity in calculations. “seismic rehabilitation code” & fema356 considered this method. result of this analysis is a target displace...

Background: A licensed vaccine against hepatitis C virus (HCV) has not become available to date. The stability and antigenicity of a targeted synthesized recombinant fusion protein consisting of a truncated core and NS3 (rC/N) of HCV had been predicted. Although safe antigens, recombinant proteins are not efficacious vaccines without adjuvants. The present study evaluated the immunogenicity of ...

This paper examines the sensitivity of computed seismic system demands to modeling choices made at the material level. Accurate constitutive models of the constituent materials in a reinforced concrete (RC) section, namely, unconfined concrete, confined concrete and reinforcing steel are necessary for direct use in fiber-section discretization of RC components. The characteristics of the cyclic...

In nonpolar solvents, surfactants stabilize charge through the formation of reverse micelles; this enables the dissociation of charge from the surfaces of particles, thereby charge-stabilizing particle suspensions. We investigate the dynamics of such charged particles by directly visualizing their motion across a microfluidic channel in response to an external electric field. The presence of th...

The Reservoir Computing (RC) paradigm represents a stateof-the-art methodology for efficient building of recurrent neural networks, which in the last years has proved effective in learning real-world temporal tasks from streams of sensorial data in the Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) domain. Recently, the study of RC networks has been extended to the case of deep architectures, with the introduct...
