Structural walls commonly used as efficient structural elements to resist lateral and vertical loads. Diverse performance of bearing wall system in past earthquakes, motivates investigation on the adequacy of current seismic design provision for these walls. This study considers seismic performance of model walls of bearing wall and building frame systems designed as ordinary and special struct...

On necropsy of a 24 months age Dutch female rabbit the uterine horns seems enlarged with a nodular appearance. On the cut surface of the uterus as well as heart wall, white firm masses with a cauliflower- like surface was observed. No other important gross lesions were found in other organs. In histopathological examination of the uterus typical microscopic changes were those of adenocarcinoma....

the most accurate method for calculating the aeroheating is numerical solution method. using finite volume method to solve the navier-stokes equations in time is very time consuming. so by using the finite difference algorithm, transfer equations to curvature coordinate by the mapping function, and combination of the viscous shock layer and similarity of boundary layer, the ctca code was develo...

The present research is concerned with the determination of ductility, over-strength and response modification factors of coupled steel shear wall frames. Three structural models with various numbers of stories, bay width and coupling beam height were analyzed using static pushover and incremental nonlinear dynamic analyses. The ductility, over-strength and response modification factors for the...

A low cross-polarization slot array antenna in the narrow wall of ridge waveguide is presented. A non-angled slot which is created in the narrow wall of the ridge waveguide is considered to be used as radiating resonant slot. The normalized resistance and normalized reactance curves are presented for design purposes. A six element slot array waveguide antenna with ridges on its narrow wall is t...
