The main aim of the present study is to achieve optimum design of reinforced concrete (RC) plane moment frames using bat algorithm (BA) which is a newly developed meta-heuristic optimization algorithm based on the echolocation behaviour of bats. The objective function is the total cost of the frame and the design constraints are checked during the optimization process based on ACI 318-08 code. ...

in this paper we introduce continuous $g$-bessel multipliers in hilbert spaces and investigate some of their properties. we provide some conditions under which a continuous $g$-bessel multiplier is a compact operator. also, we show the continuous dependency of continuous $g$-bessel multipliers on their parameters.

Analysis of electromagnetic planewave propagation in a medium which is a spatiotemporally homogeneous, temporally nonlocal, isotropic, chiral medium in a co–moving frame of reference shows that the medium is both spatially and temporally nonlocal with respect to all non–co–moving inertial frames of reference. Using the Lorentz transformations of electric and magnetic fields, we show that plane ...

Freehand 3D ultrasound can be acquired without a position sensor by finding the separations of pairs of frames using information in the images themselves. Previous work has not considered how to reconstruct entirely freehand data, which can exhibit irregularly spaced frames, intersecting frames, nonmonotonic out-of-plane probe motion and significant in-plane motion. This paper presents reconstr...

For improving the efficiency of 2D animation production, this paper presents a method to create in-between frames based on hand-drawn key-frames. The outlines of characters or objects on two key-frames are used as inputs. First, a skeleton linkage of the target object is automatically constructed by rasterizing each of input key-frames and then applying a pixel-based skeleton extraction method....

Masonry infill has been widely used as building material due to its cost effectiveness and availability.  The failure of these masonry infill walls during the past earthquakes have underscored the importance of ensuring the safety of the infill walls when it is subjected to lateral loads. In-plane and out of plane failures have been observed in many reinforced concrete framed building with maso...

‎in this paper‎, ‎first we develop the duality concept for $g$-bessel sequences‎ ‎and bessel fusion sequences in hilbert spaces‎. ‎we obtain some results about dual‎, ‎pseudo-dual ‎and approximate dual of frames and fusion frames‎. ‎we also expand every $g$-bessel ‎sequence to a frame by summing some elements‎. ‎we define the restricted isometry property for ‎$g$-frames and generalize some resu...

This paper presents the development of an experimental campaign to investigate cyclic, out-of-plane response reinforced concrete frames containing masonry infill walls, using non-contact optical techniques measure contour strains and deformations. Bare RC frames, as well fully infilled both with without window door openings, were tested in laboratory. From analysis results, it was found that ne...
