This paper presented an overview on the dynamic analysis and control of the transmission tower-line system in the past forty years. The challenges and future developing trends in the dynamic analysis and mitigation of the transmission tower-line system under dynamic excitations are also put forward. It also reviews the analytical models and approaches of the transmission tower, transmission lin...

This paper refers to a cultural ensemble of groups of northwest Amazonia who selfdesignate as the People of the Centre (Witoto, Ocaina, Nonuya, Bora-Miraña, Muinane, Andoque). The production of food and the production of ‘true people’, in People of the Centre’s discourse, are referred to with a same set of terms; and the instruments and technical transformations of cooking (heating, pounding, f...

The ABS(ABSolute sum), SRSS(Square Root of Sum of Squares) and DDC (Double Difference Combination) rules for the assessment of the separation distance between adjacent structures are probabilistically evaluated through numerical simulations. Structures are modeled as SDOF systems, both linear and nonlinear. Ground acceleration histories are synthetically generated from modified Kanai-Tajimi pow...

Migraine headaches are common in children and adolescents, with a wide spectrum of clinical forms. The most frequent pattern in children is migraine without aura, characterized by attacks of frontal, pounding, nauseating headache lasting 1 to 72 hours. The spectrum of migraine with aura includes migraine with typical aura, hemiplegic migraine, and basilar-type migraine, all of which may manifes...

Masyarakat Dukuh Sawur menanam singkong di kebun mereka. memanfaatkan daun hanya untuk dikonsumsi. Padahal jika dimanfaatkan secara baik, maka jumlah yang sangat melimpah, bisa menjadi potensi ekonomi bagi masyarakat Sawur. Oleh karena itu perlu dicari cara mengelola agar memberikan tinggi. Daun ternyata sebagai bahan kain ecoprint. Metode pembuatan ecoprint menggunakan teknik pounding dan stea...

Shivering, you drag yourself, as if gun-shot, to the living room, to the old movie channel, to a Bogart festival, your mind fogged over (like the street on the screen) edging toward feverish sleep when Bogey snarls at Ida Lupino: “Of all the 14-carat saps...” Hours later when you wake, he’s smacking Peter Lorre: “When you’re slapped, you’ll take it and like it!” And as if cuffed, you black out,...

A 3D finite element (FE) analysis technique using ABAQUS is chosen to explore the dynamic behavior of a beam under impact load. A beam, for which the impact dynamic test was conducted by Kishi (2004), is selected to develop a solid element FE model. FE analyses were performed implementing ABAQUS Explicit (2004) programming tool to predict the dynamic responses under the pressure amplitude intro...

Psychiatric inpatients were treated with either implosive therapy or a desensitization procedure using free association. Patients receiving only hospital milieu treatment served as controls. Ratings of achievement of individualized behavioral goals, the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, and the Mooney Problem Checklist were administered before and after treatment and at 6 mo. followi...
