The Coase Conjecture in Continuous Time: Imperfect Durability, Endogenous Durability, and Aftermarkets

Revisit the Coase Conjecture: Monopoly, Durability, and Bundling in Urban Land Use

Analytical study of seismic durability and its destructive effects on structures and distribution of accelerated seismic durability of Iran

Background and objective: Experience with past earthquakes and numerical analysis confirms that the durability of strong earth motion, significantly can affect the amount of failure of civil engineering systems. However, if the durability is related to a parameter which describes the intensity of the earth's motion, such as maximum velocity or maximum acceleration or spectral acceleration, then...

Durability of Affordable Neural Networks against Damaging Neurons

Durability describes the ability of a device to operate properly in imperfect conditions. We have recently proposed a novel neural network structure called an “Affordable Neural Network” (AfNN), in which affordable neurons of the hidden layer are considered as the elements responsible for the robustness property as is observed in human brain function. Whereas earlier we have shown that AfNNs ca...

Effective architectural factors on the durability of the traditional architecture of the Central Plateau of Iran

Abstract Nowadays, societies are witnessing demolished buildings that dishevel the city. There are many problems in the destruction of any concrete or steel structural building. Several reasons, including the advancement of technology on the one hand and cultural disease on the other hand, have resulted in the catastrophe of destruction and transportation of the rubbles in our society. Many co...

Sodium fluoride addition to a two-step etch-and-rinse adhesive system: effect on dentin microtensile bond strength and durability

Introduction: Studies have suggested that sodium fluoride (NaF) has an inhibitory effect on the activity of endogenous matrix metalloproteinase enzymes. This study assessed the effect of a fluoride-containing adhesive on microtensile bond strength (µTBS) over time. Material & Methods: In this experimental study, 36 extracted  third molars were used to evaluate the µTBS of...
