Prior to each visually presented target letter string in a speeded word-nonword classification task, either BIRD, BODY, BUILDING, or xxx appeared as a priming event. When the target was a word, it was (a) a name of a type of bird on most BiRD-prime trials; (b) a name of part of a building on most BODY-prime trials; (c) a name of a part of the body on most BUiLDiNG-prime trials; (d) a name of a ...

In this paper a new isolating system is introduced for short to mid-rise buildings. In comparison to conventional systems such as LRB and HRB, the proposed system has the advantage of no need to cutting edge technology and has low manufacturing cost. This system is made up of two orthogonal pairs of pillow-shaped rollers that are located between flat bed and plates. By using this system in two ...

We present the case of a transverse fracture of the scapula resulting from the use of electronic muscle stimulation (EMS): highlighting the dangers of these devices that are commonly used for massage and body-building purposes.

Tall building can vibrate in both the directions of Along wind and Across wind caused by the flow of wind. Modern Tall buildings designed to satisfy lateral drift requirements, still may oscillate excessively during wind storm. These oscillations can cause some threats to the tall building as buildings with more and more height becomes more vulnerable to oscillate at high speed winds. Sometimes...

extended abstract 1. introduction from about the 1950s, extraordinary growth of cities and increase of urban population have led to excessive growth of settlements in cities (muhallab taha, 2001(. this growth caused an unprecedented rise in land prices (zaheri & pour- mohammadi, 2006). land is an essential element in urban expansion and development (vander molen, 2002). therefore, quality and q...

In order to enable multi-scale urban visualization, multiple model representations at different levels of detail (LoDs) need to be produced (like by generalization) in advance or on the fly. At local scale, building groups are involved and at least medium LoD is needed in terms of visual perception. Motivated by such demands, this article proposes a novel method for generalizing 3D building gro...

objectives: the purpose of this study is to make questionnaire for screening body dysmorphic disorder sufferers in cosmetic clinics. methods: a sample of 150 female patients with age average 29.4 years completed physical appearance concern questionnaire. it has been used as screening tool for screening patients with body dysmorphic disorder symptoms in cosmetic clinics. results: result of relia...

To develop reliable computer models for the bluff body flow and transport of pollutants or chemical and biological (CB) agents in urban environments requires accurate measurements of the basic flow fields for carefully controlled, well-known conditions. Fluid modeling in an Industrial Wind Tunnel provides an opportunity to produce accurate simulations of the bluff body flow and transport of urb...

Building Information Systems handle non-abstract data that is directly related to the built environment (e.g., indoor climate, energy use, building systems’ states). Building information terminals offer a way to present building data to target groups with differing educational backgrounds. Such terminals are used frequently. Therefore, they should provide a good learning experience. The present...
