The model fluids containing hard ellipses (HEs) and Gay-Berne (GB) particles where their center is moving in one dimension and confined between two parallel walls with different interactions are investigated using Monte Carlo simulation, NVT ensemble. The dependency of fluid pressure with respect to the wall distances is studied. The oscillatory behaviors are seen in this quantity against ...

In this paper, we calculated 37 structural descriptors of 174 organic compounds. The 154 molecules were used to derive quantitative structure – infinite dilution activity coefficient relationship by genetic programming, the other 20 compounds were used to test the model. The result showed that molecular partition property and three-dimensional structural descriptors have significant influence o...

Seismic rehabilitation provides existing buildings with more resistance to seismic activity, ground motion, or geotechnical failure due to earthquakes. Performance-based rehabilitation is a general concept through which the retrofitting criteria are defined regarding to performance objectives when the structural and nonstructural members are subject to different levels of earthquake hazards. In...

composite concrete-steel plate shear walls are the most critical resisting structural members that resist lateral and axial loads. This type of wall consisting of two steel faceplates presenting the outer skin, infill concrete and shear connectors which are used to provide the composite action of the steel faceplates with infill concrete in order to increase the strength and to reduce the local...

In the past, rock slope stability analysis were performed either graphically or using a hand-held calculator, but nowadays there are variety of slope stability analysis which can be used according to the field condition and potential failure mode. In 2-D analysis, effect of convex and concave walls are neglected, however concave slopes are believed to be more stable than straight walls due to t...

The original proposal of Dijkgraaf, Verlinde and Verlinde for the quarter BPS dyon partition function in heterotic string theory on T 6 is known to correctly produce the degeneracy of dyons of torsion 1, ı.e. dyons for which gcd(Q ∧ P )=1. We propose a generalization of this formula for dyons of arbitrary torsion. Our proposal satisfies the constraints coming from S-duality invariance, wall cro...

Cell-wall fractions were obtained from Aspergillus niger and Chaetomium globosum. Non-structural protein was removed by successive washes in urea, NH,OH and formic acid. Amino acid analyses indicated that structural wall proteins were acidic. Aspartic acid was the free amino terminal residue of the protein in both species. Comparison of the ‘maps’ of peptic peptides indicate that there may be s...

In this note, we define the concepts of admissible relation and admissible partition for an arbitrary BL-general fuzzy automaton.In particular, a connection between the admissible partition and the quotient BL-general fuzzy automaton is presented.It is shown that if we use the maximal admissible partition, then we obtain a quotient BL-general fuzzy automaton and this quotient is minimal. Finall...

Lightweight steel framing is a method in housing and construction that have been widely used in lightweight steel construction. In this method, the structure is built by cold formed steel elements. They are cost-effective, light, and easy to assemble. However, the performance of lateral load resisting systems in cold-formed steel structures specially the behavior of cold-formed steel shear wall...
