CLOSED-FORM CRITICAL RESPONSE OF ELASTIC-PLASTIC SHEAR BUILDING WITH VISCOUS DAMPER UNDER PSEUDO-DOUBLE IMPULSE FOR SIMULATING RESONANT RESPONSE UNDER NEAR-FAULT FLING-STEP MOTION

A set of approximate closed-form solutions of the maximum interstory drifts under the critical pseudo-double impulse (PDI) is derived for non-proportionally damped multi-story shear building models with bilinear hysteresis.The use of PDI and the closed-form solutions efficiently and accurately enable the capture of the critical responses of elastic

Natural killer (NK) cells are innate cytotoxic lymphocytes that can recognize assorted determinants on tumor cells and rapidly kill these cells.Due to their anti-tumor effector functions and potential for allogeneic use, various NK cell platforms are being examined for adoptive cell therapies.However, their limited in vivo persistence is a current

The strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duchesne) hosts a wide variety of aphid species.Most of these species have an ample variety of alternate hosts that include strawberries.The true strawberry aphid, Chaetosiphon fragaefolli (Cockerell) (Fig.1), is considered an important pest of wild and cultivated venus tops and blouses strawberries worldwide.Thi

A continuous finite-time robust control method for the trajectory tracking control of a nonholonomic wheeled mobile robot (NWMR) is presented in this paper.The proposed approach is composed of conventional sliding-mode control (SMC) in the internal loop and modified switched second-order sliding-mode (S-SOSM) control in the external loop.Sliding-mo

Thermography may enable early detection of a cancer tumour within a mammary gland at an early, treatable stage of the illness, but thermogram analysis methods must clairemax nude be developed to achieve this goal.This study analyses the outil pour bague de verrouillage bosch feasibility of applying the Hurst exponent readings algorithm for evaluati
