Optimal Height for a Wind Tower on a Building in Yazd

Wind is one of the cleanest and cheapest renewable energies. One of the wind energy production technologies is use of small wind turbines installed in urban areas. However, installing these turbines in urban areas is associated with problems such as low wind speed and turbulence but if installed in the wrong location, their generated electricity is zero. In this study for the use of wind energy...

1 Dynamic Test on a Multi – Tower Connected Building Structure

A multi-tower connected building, with large floor slab openings in plan and long-span truss in elevation, was studied because of its structural irregularity. First, a 1/25 scaled model structure was tested on the shake table under minor, moderate, and major earthquake levels. Then, the dynamic responses of the model structure were interpreted to those of the prototype structure according to th...

Building the Semantic Web Tower from RDF Straw

A same-syntax extension of RDF to first-order logic results in a collapse of the model theory due to logical paradoxes resulting from diagonalization. RDF is thus the wrong material for building the Semantic Web tower.

New Routes into the Human Brain

The combination of human genetics, animal models, and induced pluripotent stem cells is likely to revolutionize our understanding of neuropsychiatric disorders, leading to new therapies and insights into how the normal human brain works. This is the territory I would explore if I were starting my research career today.
