rolling-based seismic isolation systems, in which rollers of circular or non-circular section are used, are less expensive and easier to manufacture. however, this type of isolation suffers from either lack of restoring or re-centering capability, or weakness against uplift forces. to resolve the first shortcoming the use of elliptical as well as pillow-shape rolling parts has been suggested, a...

the edge detour index polynomials were recently introduced for computing theedge detour indices. in this paper we nd relations among edge detour polynomials for the2-dimensional graph of tuc4c8(s) in a euclidean plane and tuc4c8(s) nanotorus.

le mouvement transversal de la locomotive ou des wagons , appele ie lacet, provient de deux causes principales: -la conicite des bandages -les irregularites de la voie dans ie plan horizontal. on se propose ici d'etudier la premiere cause , ce qui nous conduit a une equation differentielle non lineaire du deuxieme ordre. • l'equation en question est etudiee dans plusieurs cas difftten...

Title of Document: PHOTOINDUCED ELECTRON TRANSFER IN IONIC MEDIA Rebecca Cristine Vieira, Doctor of Philosophy, 2008 Directed By: Dr. Daniel E. Falvey, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry The goal of this research was to explore the use of room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) and ionic liquids crystals (ILCs) as reaction media for photoinduced electron transfer (PET) processes. Photoindu...
