The paper studied the vibrations of buildings on sliding foundation with dry friction under action real earthquakes at intensity 8 and 9 MSK-64 scale. It was developed a unique algorithm for calculating displacements, velocities, accelerations, shear forces resulting from simultaneous horizontal vertical components seismogram record. four-story nine-story set three earthquake records. shown tha...

Our results from Figures 1-5 of the main text suggest that eye movement information increases perceptual coherence. Before proceeding to the next set of experiments, we wished to first explore a possible hypothesis about how such an increase happens. Specifically, we hypothesized that eye movement direction may exhibit differential benefits to perceptual coherence depending on how effectively t...

A novel circularly polarized antenna with a circular radiating aperture and circular ground plane for broadband characteristics is presented in this paper. The vertical and horizontal components of the L-shaped probe are separated and placed at the front and back sides of the substrate. The antenna is excited by a microstrip line which is connected to the vertical component of the L-shaped prob...

In this paper, we introduce the motivation for and design of and integrated flight instrument display component for use during vertical landing and hover operations of a future Lunar lander to support the vision to return to the Moon. A description of the human-system interface design approach to include a cognitive task analysis is outlined. The results of the analysis and the design of the re...

Multicomponent data usually are not processed with specifically designed procedures but with procedures analogous to those used for single-component data. In isotropic media, the vertical and horizontal components of the data commonly are taken as proxies for the Pand S-wave modes, which are imaged independently with the acoustic wave equations. This procedure works only if the vertical and hor...

One of the most questionable issues in wetting is the force balance that includes the vertical component of liquid surface tension. On soft solids, the vertical component leads to a microscopic protrusion of the contact line, that is, a 'wetting ridge'. The wetting principle determining the tip geometry of the ridge is at the heart of the issues over the past half century. Here we reveal a univ...

The occurrence of systematic interocular differences in the time of initiation of saccades in various directions was investigated in normal human subjects (n=4). Saccades were recorded binocularly with scleral sensor coils on each of the eyes with a temporal resolution of 0.1 ms (sampling frequency 10000 Hz). Analysis was done in the velocity domain after digital differentiation. It was found t...

Facial width to height ratio (fWHR) is a morphological cue that correlates with sexual dimorphism and social traits. Currently, it is unclear how vertical and horizontal components of fWHR, distinctly capture faces' social information. Using a new methodology, we orthogonally manipulated the upper facial height and the bizygomatic width to test their selective effect in the formation of impress...

A study of magnetic daily variations shows their vertical component to be enhanced at the west coast of Australia, just as previous work had showed it to be reduced at the east coast. The anomalous contributions appear most likely to be due to induction by the onshore horizontal component of the daily variation field. The Australian data may also indicate regional differences in the structure o...
