Steel frame with steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) is used to resist lateral loads caused by wind and earthquakes in high-rise buildings. In this load-resisting system, the cost performance are more efficient than moment system. Behaviors of beam-to-column connections assumed be pinned or fixed simplify calculation past few decades. However, studies have stated that such a simulation fails reveal...

For odontocetes, passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) can be used to differentiate between occurrence and foraging through analysis of click characteristics. Feeding buzzes navigation/searching echolocation clicks harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) were differentiated within C-POD data from northwest Ireland 2009 2017. The spatiotemporal distribution behavior was investigated using generalized ad...

Twenty-five characters or suites of characters from bats are considered in light of changes in bat classification. The characters include some associated with flower-visiting (two), echolocation (12), roosting (six), reproduction (two) and three are of unknown adaptive function. In both the 1998 and 2006 classifications of bats into suborders (Megachiroptera and Microchiroptera versus Yinpteroc...

Cyberbullying (CB) has become increasingly prevalent in social media platforms. With the popularity and widespread use of by individuals all ages, it is vital to make platforms safer from cyberbullying. This paper presents a hybrid deep learning model, called DEA-RNN, detect CB on Twitter network. The proposed DEA-RNN model combines Elman type Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) with an optimized D...

This project is a multi-pronged study to advance the state of the field in three areas. The development of automated auditory scene analysis for delphinid tonal calls will permit subsequent work by this investigator or others to exploit the use of whistles for classification and localization. Our approach is to dynamically build hypothesis graphs using phase-frequency representations of the sig...
