because of production process and constrains conditions, circular graphene sheet may be opposed to structural defect and pin hole, respectively. some of the defects and pin hole on a circular graphene sheet can be considered as an eccentric hole on the sheet. hence, analyzing behavior of circular graphene sheet with an eccentric hole is important. free vibration of an eccentric annular graphene...

Interoperability issues have been well acknowledged as an impediment to improve productivity in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry. The current information exchange from building design to building energy modeling has numerous problems, including object parametric information deficiencies, geometric misrepresentations and re-input data confusion. These problems lead t...

The ILC Linac Group at SLAC is actively pursuing a broad range of R&D to improve the reliability and reduce the cost of the L-band (1.3 GHz) rf system. Current activities include the development of a Marx-style modulator and a 10 MW sheet-beam klystron, construction of an rf distribution system with adjustable power tap-offs and custom hybrids, tests of cavity coupler components to understand r...

This paper describes an approach to extend process modeling for engineering design applications with fault-tolerance and resilience capabilities. It is based on the requirements for application-level error handling, which is a requirement for petascale and exascale scientific computing. This complements the traditional fault-tolerance management features provided by the existing hardware and di...

In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of WebAlchemist, a prototype web transcoding system, which automatically converts a given HTML page into a sequence of equivalent HTML pages that can be properly displayed on a hand-held device. The WebAlchemist system is based on a set of HTML transcoding heuristics managed by the Transcoding Manager (TM) module. In order to tackle diffi...

The main purpose of this study was to determine the predictors of academic achievement of student Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) teachers with different learning styles. Participants were 148 student ICT teachers from Ankara University. Participants were asked to fill out a personal information sheet, the Turkish version of Kolb’s Learning Style Inventory, Weinstein’s Learnin...

Use of balanced cross-section methods, which assume length and area conservation in two dimensions, to quantitatively analyze fold-and-thrust belts is vital structural analyses. However, layer-parallel shortening beyond this assumption thus indescribable by methods. The contribution accommodating has rarely been determined, especially sections hundreds kilometers scale. In study, we conducted a...

The purpose of this study was to determine nursing students' leadership and emotional intelligence. The study was conducted as a descriptive study in a nursing school in 2008. The sample comprised 69 junior and 85 senior nursing students and was based on voluntary participation. Data were collected through a data sheet, a leadership style questionnaire, and the Bar-On Emotional Intelligence Quo...
