response modification factor (r factor) is one of the seismic design parameters to be considered in evaluating the performance of buildings during strong motions. this paper has tried to evaluate the response modification factor of concrete coupled shear wall structures with various length/depth ratios of spandrel beams. the effect of diagonal reinforcement of spandrel beam was also evaluated o...

The work  addressed in this paper is a comparative study between convergence of the  acceleration techniques, diagonal pad'{e} approximants and shanks transforms, on Homotopy analysis method  and Adomian decomposition method for solving  differential equations of integer and fractional orders.

This work is devoted to the systematic study of the optical and magneto-optical properties of sputter deposited CuFe₂O₄ thin films in the photon energy region between 2 and 5 eV using spectroscopic ellipsometry and magneto-optical Kerr spectroscopy. The spectral dependence of both the diagonal and off-diagonal elements of the permittivity tensor is determined. A complete picture about the elect...

‎A universal schema for diagonalization was popularized by N.S‎. ‎Yanofsky (2003)‎, ‎based on a pioneering work of F.W‎. ‎Lawvere (1969)‎, ‎in which the existence of a (diagonolized-out and contradictory) object implies the existence of a fixed-point for a certain function‎. ‎It was shown that many self-referential paradoxes and diagonally proved theorems can fit in that schema‎. ‎Here‎, ‎we fi...

We show that a knowledge of diagonal partons at a low scale is sufficient to determine the off-diagonal (or skewed) distributions at a higher scale, to a good degree of accuracy. We quantify this observation by presenting results for the evolution of off-diagonal distributions from a variety of different inputs.
