Dual systems of steel moment frame and reinforced concrete shear wall have combined the advantages of steel frames and reinforced concrete shear wall. These walls have increased the lateral stiffness of steel frames and have reduced seismic demands on steel frames thus providing opportunities to use such system. In this research intermediate dual system of steel moment frame was chosen with int...

    Background: Despite the advantages of dual peer mentoring, there are a few reports of implementing and evaluating such programs for medical students. This study aimed at exploring the perceptions of mentors and mentees about the dual peer mentoring program for the first year undergraduate medical students of Tehran University of Medical Sciences.    Methods: This...

the objective of this study was to validate the use of bone mineral measurements of the calcaneus bone by dual x-ray and laser (dxl) in a cross-sectional study carried out in an osteoporosis clinic. measurements of bone mineral density (bmd) at proximal femur and spine were obtained by dual-energy photon x-ray absorptiometry (dexa). osteoporosis was defined by a dexa t-score <-2.5 at the femora...

in this paper, we investigate duality of modular g-riesz bases and g-riesz basesin hilbert c*-modules. first we give some characterization of g-riesz bases in hilbert c*-modules, by using properties of operator theory. next, we characterize the duals of a giveng-riesz basis in hilbert c*-module. in addition, we obtain sucient and necessary conditionfor a dual of a g-riesz basis to be again a g...

Ionic liquid 1,3-disulfonic acid imidazolium trifluoroacetate ([Dsim][TFA]) has been exploited as a highly efficient catalyst for the one-pot pseudo five-component reaction of phenylhydrazine (2 eq.) with ethyl acetoacetate (2 eq.) and arylaldehydes (1 eq.) in ethanol (reflux conditions). In this reaction, 4,4′‐(arylmethylene)‐bis(3‐methyl‐1‐phenyl‐1H‐ pyrazol‐5‐ol)s have been obtained in high ...

Let A be a Banach algebra and X a Banach A-bimodule, the derivation D : A → X is semi-inner if there are ξ, μ ∈ X such that D(a) = a.ξ − μ.a, (a ∈ A). A is called semi-amenable if every derivation D : A → X∗ is semi-inner. The dual Banach algebra A is Connes semi-amenable (resp. approximately semi-amenable) if, every D ∈ Z1w _ (A,X), for each normal, dual Banach A-bimodule X, is semi -inner (re...

Recent developments in the area of smart structures indicate that variable geometry / stiffness truss network is of fundamental importance in designing smart transformable structures and systems for space applications. This paper presents the conceptual design and dynamic modeling of a cooperative re-configurabel dual-arm robotic structure called Dual-Arm Cam-Lock Manipulator. The Manipulator i...

Let M be a finite matroid with rank function r. We will write A M when we mean that A is a subset of the ground set of M, and write M|A and M A for the matroids obtained by restricting M to A and contracting M on A respectively. Let M* denote the dual matroid to M. (See [1] for definitions). The main theorem is Theorem 1. The Tutte polynomial TM(x, y) satisfies TM(x, y)= : A M TM|A(0, y) TM A(x...

Let w 1 = d, w 2 , ... , w s be the weights of the nonzero codewords in a binary linear [n , k, d] code C, and let w1′ , w2′ , ... , ws ′ ′ be the nonzero weights in the dual code C ⊥ . Let t be an integer in the range 0 < t < d such that there are at most d − t weights wi′ with 0 < wi′ ≤ n − t. Assmus and Mattson proved that the words of any weight w i in C form a t-design. We show that if w 2...
