Both experimental and finite element analysis (FEA) was used to study the seismic response of reinforced concrete (RC) interior slab-column connection made with pyramid-shaped drop panel subjected vertical horizontal loads. The dimensions models at “¼ ” linear scale for laboratory testing FE Analysis are derived from rules column drops, given a prototype “9.60m” grid slab thickness “320mm”. Lab...

We compute characteristic (quasinormal) frequencies corresponding to decay of a massive charged scalar field in a Reissner-Nordstrom black hole background. It proves that, contrary to the behavior at very late times, at the stage of quasinormal ringing the neutral perturbations will damp slower than the charged ones. In the limit of the extremal black hole the damping rate of charged and neutra...

We study the structure of higher-curvature gravitational densities that are induced from holographic renormalization in ${\mathrm{AdS}}_{d+1}$. In a braneworld construction, such define $d$-dimensional theory on brane, which turn is dual to ($d\ensuremath{-}1$)-dimensional CFT living at its boundary. show this ${\mathrm{CFT}}_{d\ensuremath{-}1}$ satisfies $c$-theorem general dimensions (differe...
