in recent years, different damage indexes have been introduced in engineering literature. the most prominent one among other counterparts is the 1985 park and ang's damage index (dipa), which demonstrates well calibration against experimental results. hence, it has traditionally had broad application in the field of structural engineering. commonly, in dipa relevant parameters are assessed...

being a mental patient in seventeenth-and eighteenth-century England, although in many ways they are also frustrating. In the Foreword, Roy Porter returns to a favourite theme from his book, A social history of madness (1987), the importance of listening to the voices of the mad, and Professor Ingram's Introduction provides a cogent analysis of the way in which these authors chose to make use o...

Problem 24 of Hanna Neumann's book [3] reads: Does there exist, for a given integer n > 0, a Cross variety that is generated by its ^-generator groups and contains (&+w)-generator critical groups? In such a variety, is every critical group that needs more than k generators a factor of a kgenerator critical group, or at least of the free group of rank A? I n a recent paper [1], R. G. Burns point...

Capturing fine details of turbulence on a coarse grid is one of the main tasks in real-time fluid simulation. Existing methods for doing this have various limitations. In this paper, we propose a new turbulence method that uses a refined second vorticity confinement method, referred to as robust second vorticity confinement, and a synthesis scheme to create highly turbulent effects from coarse ...
