More than 90% of wooden frame houses are made up components processed by pre-cutting. The drawings for pre-cutting prepared the designers structural design offices and factories. In this study, interviews, drawing surveys, questionnaires were conducted in order to understand tendency joint arrangement horizontal members framing designers. As a result survey, it was found that there some cases w...

In this paper, the structural behavior of beam joint using bearing bolts was investigated by bending test. From test results, slip against linear that high strength bolts, rotation angle increases with increase clearance bolt holes and decrease depth were confirmed. addition, evaluated accounting for slip, shifting range from contact to pressure state rotational stiffness under pressure.

by the more advances in science and knowledge, the role of staff and human relations (hr) becomes more evident in the progress of the organization and the community. social capital and intellectual capital are the two subjects that in the recent two decades have been considered and their formative roles in organizational development and performance have been confirmed. this study examines the r...

the present study presents an algorithm that models uncertainties at the structural component level to estimate the performance reliability of rc structures. the method calculates the performance reliability using a systemic approach and incorporates the improved response surface method based on sampling blocks using the first-order reliability method and conditional reliability indices. the re...

We present the application of large-scale multivariate mixed-model equations to the joint analysis of nine gene expression experiments in beef cattle muscle and fat tissues with a total of 147 hybridizations, and exploring 47 experimental conditions or treatments. Using a correlation-based method, we constructed a gene network for 822 genes. Modules of muscle structural proteins and enzymes, ex...

An extension of decomposition-based assembly synthesis for structural modularity is presented where the early identification of shareable components within multiple structures is posed as an outcome of the minimization of estimated manufacturing costs. The manufacturing costs of components are estimated under given production volumes considering the economies of scale. Multiple structures are s...

Stochastic-deterministic (SD) speech modelling exploits the predictability of speech components that may be regarded deterministic. This has recently been employed in speech enhancement resulting in an improved recovery of deterministic speech components, although the improvement achieved is largely dependant on how these components are estimated. In this paper we propose a joint SD Wiener filt...

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative process involving the progressive loss of articular cartilage, synovial inflammation and structural changes in subchondral bone that lead to loss of synovial joint structural features and functionality of articular cartilage. OA represents one of the most common causes of physical disability in the world. Different OA treatments are usually considered in re...
