Architectural limitations in many situations make it necessary for the RC shear walls to be extended in plan in different directions at a single location that makes them a 3D configuration. Analysis of such walls is very challenging. In this research about 450 cases of 3D shear walls are considered with different shapes and heights. L, T and H-shape walls are studied. They are nonlinearly analy...

A supramolecular chiral host consisting of N-(2-naphthoyl)-L-aspartic acid (L-1) and meso-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine (2) is effective in enantioseparation of 1-arylethanols (up to 96% ee with 100% inclusion ratio). Here we report three different methods to prepare the inclusion crystals and discuss the chiral recognition mechanism on the basis of X-ray crystallography results.

This paper presents a Kalman filter designed for a cutting force measurement system. The cutting force measurement system is used to measure cutting forces for meso-milling applications. Due to the small magnitude of the cutting forces generated from the meso-milling process, the measurement results are easily distorted by the noise that exists in the measurement system. The object of the Kalma...

We report the synthesis of Fe3O4@mSiO2 nanostructures of different meso-silica (mSiO2) shell thickness, their biocompatibility and behaviors for loading and release of a model drug ibuprofen. The composite nanostructures have superparamagnetic magnetite cores of 208 nm average size and meso-silica shells of 15 to 40 nm thickness. A modified Stöber method was used to grow the meso-silica shells ...

Outdoor sound prediction is both a societal concern and a scientific issue. This paper deals with numerical simulations of micrometeorological (temperature and wind) fields for environmental acoustics. These simulations are carried out using the reference meso-scale meteorological model at the Meteo-France weather agency (Meso-NH). Meso-NH predictions at very fine scales (up to 3 m), including ...

The reaction at room temperature of an aldehyde with excess pyrrole in the absence of solvent affords the meso-substituted dipyrromethane. The reaction is catalyzed with trifluoroacetic acid or with BF9,0(Et)2. The dipyrromethaue is purified by crystallixation or by flash chromatography on silica with eluants containing 1% triethylamine. The reaction is compatible with aliphatic or aromatic ald...

The cascade reaction of sterically hindered dipyrromethanes and formaldehyde furnished meso(10)-meso(10') linked corroles--a new type of porphyrinoid--compounds with interesting photophysical properties.
