oo many organizations view electronic records management (ERM) software selection through a narrow lens. Some enterprises will create massive spreadsheet-based matrices with lists of features and functions broken down in minute detail. These features and functions are weighted by priority, then added and scored to rank vendors and products based on empirical data. This can be a useful exercise ...

magnetorheological (mr) dampers have the advantage of being tuned by low voltages. this has attracted many researchers to develop semi-active control of structures in theory and practice. most of the control strategies first obtain the desired forces of dampers without taking their dynamics into consideration and then determine the input voltages according to those forces. as a result, these st...

the performance of dual-layer multiple tuned mass dampers (dl-mtmd) with uniformly distributed natural frequencies is investigated. the dl-mtmd consists of one large tuned mass damper (l-tmd) and an arbitrary number of small tuned mass dampers (s-tmd). the primary structure is represented as a single degree-of-freedom system which corresponds to a specific vibration mode to be controlled in a r...

There has been for several years a growing interest in defining new access control models and administration facilities for these models. Several models have observed that only structuring the model using the concept of roles as in RBAC is not sufficient to administer decentralized enterprises. These models have suggested to consider new concepts such as organization (as in OrBAC) or domain (as...

This quasi-experimental study investigated the effects of input-enhancement and production of sentences, containing the target structures, on learning grammar by Iranian Intermediate EFL learners. Sixty male students in three input, output, and control groups participated in the study. After checking the homogeneity of the participants with a proficiency test, the researchers administered a pre...
