This study investigates the impact of accelerated aging conditions on the long-term flexural behavior and ductility of reinforced concrete (RC) members with glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars (RC-GFRP specimen) and steel bars (RC-steel specimen). A total of thirty six specimens were designed with different amounts of reinforcement with three types of reinforcing bars (i.e., helically wr...

Although syntactic priming is well studied and commonly assumed to involve implicit learning, the mechanisms behind this phenomenon are still under debate. We tested whether implicit learning of adjacent and non-adjacent sequences occurs in a non-linguistic, finger sequence task (Serial Reaction Time task), and if so, whether these implicitly-learned dependencies can cause syntactic priming in ...

Iconic approaches Fisher (2) to object recognition rely upon the direct comparison between an unknown input image with of characteristic views of images of a target subject contained in an icon database. Hence, this approach to recognition is distinguished by making comparisons in icon-space as opposed to making comparisons upon a more condensed symbolic representation of the information contai...

Results on the dynamics of the planar pendulum with parametric vertical timeperiodic forcing are reviewed and extended. Numerical methods are employed to study the various dynamical features of the system about its equilibrium positions. Furthermore, the dynamics of the system far from its equilibrium points is systematically investigated by using phase portraits and Poincare sections. The attr...

The relationship between a reeexive and its antecedent is characterized by (a) a locality condition, and (b) a syntactic prominence condition. In Chomsky (1981) locality is deened in terms of governing category, and syntactic prominence is via c-command. In this article I show that, to account for the long-distance binding properties of complex reeexive ta-zijì3s-slef' in Chinese, which cast do...

This document describes the RC encryption algorithm a fast symmetric block cipher suitable for hardware or software imple mentations A novel feature of RC is the heavy use of data dependent rotations RC has a variable word size a variable number of rounds and a variable length secret key The encryption and decryption algorithms are exceptionally simple

This research paper explores the relationship between “student-to-other” closeness within a large-scale introductory engineering class and student performance as measured by final grade. Aron and Aron have developed the theory of self-expansion through their work on “including other in the self” (IOS) and have shown that self-expansion can have many benefits including sharing of resources and g...

We examined daily couple experiences in 174 couples who had a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) relative to 179 couples who had a child without disabilities and their same-day association with parent affect. Parents completed a 14-day daily diary in which they reported time with partner, partner support, partner closeness, and positive and negative couple interactions and level of posit...

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets are externally bonded to reinforced concrete (RC) members to provide additional strength such as flexural, shear, etc. It has been widely accepted that carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRPs) can be used effectively to strengthen reinforced concrete (RC) members. This paper is intended to study and use externally bonded CFRP strips to repair and st...

objective: the present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of group triple-p on the relationships of mother-child with id (intellectual disability).  methods: in this semi-experimental study with pretest and posttest design by control group, parent-child relationship scale (pcrs) was determined in 40 random clustering selected mothers of children with id before and after the intervention...
