To understand the seismic damage characteristics of bottom frame-wall buildings and to study their seismic performance, the seismic damage outcomes of  bottom frame-wall structures in Du jiang weir by the Wen chuan earthquake on May 12,2008, China were field observed and studied. The assesment of the seismic damage to the bottom frame-wall masonry in Du jiang weir urban showed that the damage t...

a term in one language rarely has an absolute synonymous meaning in the same language; besides, it rarely has an equivalent meaning in an l2. english synonyms of seeing and hearing are particularly grammatically and semantically different. frame semantics is a good tool for discovering differences between synonymous words in l2 and differences between supposed l1 and l2 equivalents. vocabulary ...

in this paper, we give a necessary condition for function in l^2with its dual to generate a dual shearlet tight frame with respect to admissibility.

in this paper‎, ‎we introduce a new model of point free topology‎ ‎for point-set topology‎. ‎we study the basic concepts in this‎ ‎structure and will find that it is naturally close to point-set‎ ‎topology‎.‎

purpose muslim athletes may continue training and competing while they are fasting. there is a concern about negative effects of fasting on sports performance. this study aimed to investigate the influence of two training time frames on athletes’ body composition and performance during ramadan fasting. methods an observational study was conducted and thirty four male volunteer athletes from dif...

The aim of this paper is to improve the convergence rate of frame algorithm based on Richardson iteration and Chebyshev methods. Based on Richardson iteration method, we first square the existing convergence rate of frame algorithm which in turn the number of iterations would be bisected and increased speed of convergence is achieved. Afterward, by using Chebyshev polynomials, we improve this s...
