In the present paper, the focus is on the evaluation of steel dual-system frame buildings using four main types of structural analysis (Linear Static, Linear Dynamic, Nonlinear Static and Nonlinear Dynamic Analyses) with regard to "Seismic Rehabilitation Code for Existing Buildings in Iran" (based on FEMA 273 and 356) where the first two authors of the article tend to follow the previous work (...

Retrieving homologous sequences from existing databases is very important for the biomedical research community. In this project, we implemented four sequence alignment algorithms (general gap penalty, affine gap penalty, general gap penalty with mid-point and affine gap penalty with midpoint) to look for nearly optimum aligned sequences in the database for nucleic acid sequences (i.e. DNA/RNA ...

Bridge codes adopt values for dynamic allowance in traffic load models that are necessarily conservative to cover for an entire range of bridges with different mechanical characteristics, boundary conditions, and the large number of uncertainties associated to the vehicle-bridge interaction problem. A further level of conservatism occurs due to the independent manner in which the governing stat...

We propose static and dynamic load balancing policies for parallel real time sys tems A parallel real time system in this context is considered as a computational environment consisting of a number of processors where stringent timing require ments of processes should be met This would encompass massively parallel systems at one end of the spectrum and a group of computers connected by a local ...

Adaptive mesh reenement is a key problem in large-scale numerical calculations. The need of adaptive mesh reenement could introduce load imbalance among processors, where the load measures the amount of work required by reenement itself as well as by numerical calculations thereafter. We present a dynamic load balancing algorithm to ensure that the work load are balanced while the communication...

A 16-station wear simulator of the pin-on-disc type, called RandomPOD, was designed, built, and validated. The primary area of application of the RandomPOD is wear studies of orthopaedic biomaterials. The type of relative motion between the bearing surfaces, generally illustrated as shapes of slide tracks, has been found to have a strong effect on the type and amount of wear produced. The compu...

In general Pile foundations are often subject to more than one load in nature. Two loadings, when simultaneous, cause serious problems the bearing capacity. Therefore, major objective of this study is assessment performance piles under inclined cyclic loads simultaneous with static lateral sandy soil a relative density 70%. A laboratory investigates were conducted determine effect several facto...

In order to obtain more accurate predicted dynamic steady-state performance with shorter computation time, an available mathematical model is modified and presented. Using this modified model, performance of a typical switched reluctance motor (SRM) under a wide range of variations of operating conditions is obtained and discussed. These include variations of speed, voltage, load and switching ...

Extensive exercise increases the plasma content of IL-6, IL-8, IL-15, leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), and several other cytokines via their augmented transcription in skeletal muscle cells. However, the relative impact of aerobic and resistant training interventions on cytokine production remains poorly defined. In this study, we compared effects of dynamic and static load on cytokine plasma ...
