Recent wavelet research has primarily focused on real-valued wavelet bases. However, complex wavelet bases ooer a number of potential advantageous properties. For example, it has been recently suggested 1], 2] that the complex Daubechies wavelet can be made symmetric. However, these papers always imply that if the complex basis has a symmetry property then it must exhibit linear phase as well. ...

The severity of vertical seismic ground motions is often factored into design regulations as a component their horizontal counterparts. Furthermore, most codes, including Eurocode 8, ignore the impact local soil on spectra. This paper investigates pseudo-absolute acceleration spectral estimates, well ratios estimates for strong motion in and directions, low to medium seismicity regions with dee...

The principle of electrochromic modulation of excited-state intramolecular proton-transfer reaction was applied for the design of fluorescence probes with high two-color sensitivity to dipole potential, Psid, in phospholipid bilayers. We report on the effect of Psid variation on excitation and fluorescence spectra of two new 3-hydroxyflavone probes, which possess opposite orientations of the fl...

This paper is aimed at giving structural designers guidance on how to make use of elastic site-specific response spectra for the dynamic modal analysis a structure in support its design. The pushover an RC building forming part non-linear static procedure (that can be used predict seismic demand without relying code-stipulated default R factor) also presented. Seismic structures based help achi...

Yield Point Spectra are used to indicate the influence of Peffects on the lateral strengths associated with constant ductility demands. The intensity of Peffects is represented by a new index, termed the effective height, heff. This representation is useful for performance-based seismic design, because the effective height may be estimated accurately using information that is available early in...

The synthesis 2-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol is of great significance because its wide application in industry, and the development a highly efficient catalyst necessary for alkylation p-cresol tert-butyl alcohol. Here, an mild method was established. Caprolactam chosen as hydrogen-bonding acceptor; p-toluenesulfonic acid employed donor, deep eutectic solvent (DES) prepared to catalyze reaction. s...

Cities located along the Central Anatolian Fault Zone (CAFZ), such as Kayseri and Mersin, have become metropolitan cities in Turkey since 1950s been attracting big investments, Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant (Mersin), which is planned to be built close CAFZ. In this study, ground motion records of earthquakes occurring CAFZ are scaled for single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) systems conforming current d...
