The worldwide use of precast concrete frames leads to an increase in the need for the investigation of efficient precast connections, particularly in the seismic regions. The current paper provides a numerical and experimental study on a dry precast connection. Experiments were conducted to validate the finite element method in the laboratory of the University of Science and Culture. To verify ...

We show how Daubechies wavelets are used to solve Kuramoto-Sivashinsky type equations with periodic boundary condition‎. ‎Wavelet bases are used for numerical solution of the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky type equations by Galerkin method‎. ‎The numerical results in comparison with the exact solution prove the efficiency and accuracy of our method‎.    

Scoliosis is the abnormal lateral curvature and rotation of the spine. In the past this deformity has been linked with moral depravity, as in the case of Richard III. Treatment for scoliosis began with Hippocrates's use of boards and axial distortion. Today, bracing and surgery are used either to correct the deformity or to prevent further progression. In the past, however, exercise regimens ha...

The (n+1)-dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet (EGB) model is considered. For diagonal cosmological metrics the equations of motion are written as a set of Lagrange equations with the Lagrangian containing two “minisuperspace” metrics on R : a 2-metric of pseudo-Euclidean signature and a Finslerian 4-metric that is proportional to n-dimensional Berwald-Moor 4-metric. When a synchronous time variab...

In this paper, as an application of the inverse problem calculus variations, we investigate two compatibility conditions on spherically symmetric Finsler metrics. By making use these conditions, focus our attention Landsberg We classify all manifolds or Berwald types. For higher dimensions $n\geq 3$, prove that: are either Riemannian their geodesic sprays have a specific formula; regular metric...

some considerable damage to steel structures during the hyogo-ken nanbu earthquake occurred. among them, many exposed-type column bases failed in several consistent patterns, such as brittle base plate fracture, excessive bolt elongation, unexpected early bolt failure, and inferior construction work, etc. the lessons from these phenomena led to the need for improved understanding of column base...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to assess the precision at the implant interface of gold-machined UCLA-type abutments and computer-assisted design and manufacture (CAD/CAM) titanium abutments with both external-hexagonal connection and internal-hexagonal connection. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifteen gold-machined UCLA-type abutments with external-hexagonal connection, 15 gold-machined UCLA-...
