Adding steel braces to reinforced concrete frames is a common way for seismic rehabilitation of these structures. Due to ease of installation and the possibility of creating openings in the braced bays, this method of rehabilitation has been more preferred than using shear walls. In this paper, three experimental specimens including a reinforced concrete frame, a reinforced concrete frame with ...

In a previous work we have shown that the null result of the Michelson-Morley experiment in vacuum is deeply connected with the notion of time. The same is true for the the postulate of constancy of the two-way speed of light in vacuum in all frames independently of the state of motion of the emitting body. The argumentation formerly given is very general and has to be true not only within Spec...

We consider the problem of recovering fusion frame sparse signals from incomplete measurements. These signals are composed of a small number of nonzero blocks taken from a family of subspaces. First, we show that, by using a-priori knowledge of a coherence parameter associated with the angles between the subspaces, one can uniformly recover fusion frame sparse signals with a significantly reduc...

Let G be a stratified Lie group and L be the sub-Laplacian on G. Let 0 6= f ∈ S(R). We show that Lf(L)δ, the distribution kernel of the operator Lf(L), is an admissible function on G. We also show that, if ξf(ξ) satisfies Daubechies’ criterion, then Lf(L)δ generates a frame for any sufficiently fine lattice subgroup of G.

Considering a frame L, we introduce the notions of stratified L-semi-topological neighborhood group, stratified L-quasi-topological neighborhood group, and stratified L-quasi-bi-topological neighborhood group. In so doing, we look at the notion of stratified L-right (left) semi-topological neighborhood group, provide some basic facts, and present a construction of a stratified L-right semi-topo...

the combination of flexural frame and shear wall is one of the suitable systems to apply in reinforced concrete buildings. the deflections of flexural frame become limited due to the high stiffness of wall and the interaction of these systems. tall buildings even higher than fifty stories can be designed by using frame- wall systems. with respect to special behavior of flexural frame or shear w...

We analyse the relation between innnite-dimensional frame theory and nite-dimensional models for frames as they are used for numerical algorithms. Special emphasis in this paper is on perfect reconstruction oversampled lter banks, also known as shift-invariant frames. For certain nite-dimensional models it is shown that the corresponding nite dual frame provides indeed an approximation of the d...

Frames in Hilbert bimodules are a special case of frames in Hilbert C*-modules. The paper considers A-frames and B-frames and their relationship in a Hilbert A-B-imprimitivity bimodule. Also, it is given that every frame in Hilbert spaces or Hilbert C*-modules is a semi-tight frame. A relation between A-frames and K(H_B)-frames is obtained in a Hilbert A-B-imprimitivity bimodule. Moreover, the ...
