This study presents a systematic methodology for MDA transformation that includes creating a platform independent model (PIM), transforming PIM into platform specific model (PSM), and transforming PSM into a Code model. The PIM is created first based on the use case, activity diagram and robustness diagram. The PIM is then transformed into a PSM based on three target platforms: Web-based user i...

It is generally accepted that performance-based design has to be reliability-based. Seismic performance evaluation is based on nonlinear dynamics and reliability theory taking into account uncertainties during analysis. Considering the economic importance of jacket type offshore platforms, the present research aims to assess the seismic performance of offshore steel platforms. In this study, th...

Several hybrid sensing materials, which are organized by interaction of organic molecules onto inorganic supports, have been developed as a novel and hopeful class of hybrid sensing probes. The hybrid silica-magnetic based sensors provide perfect properties for production of various devices in sensing technology. The hybridization of silica and magnetic NPs as biocompatible, biodegradable and s...
