Abstract Due to their complex electro-thermal characteristics microhotplates used in environmental gas sensors require careful design exhibit uniform temperature and low power dissipation during the expected long time operation. The layout becomes more if multiple operational parameters required by battery operation driver readout logic are considered. In this paper, we describe a simple analyt...

Long-span bridges, as vital structures, play a very important role in economic development. Furthermore, the results of several earthquake-damaged bridges showed that their seismic behavior was different from that predicted under uniform excitation and in some cases the responses were more than predicted results. Therefore, the damaged bridges under non-uniform excitations were re-analyzed and ...

This paper examines the statistical properties of uniform design for stated choice modeling. Estimation efficiency, prediction efficiency and test power (i.e., the ability to pick up significant effects or exclude insignificant effects) are selected as measures of statistical properties. Both uniform design and orthogonal design are used to generate profiles. The major experimental design strat...

A stiffness-based method for the preliminary design of outrigger braced skyscrapers is proposed. The founded on concept uniform distribution deformation. This approach originates from minimum-compliance optimization, in which stiffest layout structure sought a given amount material. Design variables include: flexural stiffness core structure, outrigger-belt elevation, and peripheral column dime...

Implementing an information infrastructure is challenging due to the installed-base of various information systems and technologies embedded in a social and organisational context. In overcoming these challenges organisations are often planning to implement uniform information infrastructures: common standards, common databases, common work-processes, and common applications. However, in order ...

The uniform design is one of major designs in computer experiments. In this paper, we develop the connection among the computer experiments, uniform designs in statistics and resolvable partially pairwise balanced designs (RPPBDs) from design theory. A series of RPPBDs with special requirements are constructed and used to produce new uniform designs under the discrete discrepancy.
