This paper presents a novel module-based software framework for multimedia E-learning. Interface of each module is standardized based on IEEE P1484 LTSA so that it easily communicates and combines with other modules. It can be easily reconfigured to various education models with flexibility and adaptability, since it only needs to change connection status between modules. A user can search othe...

In a novel way, nature evolves cellular structures to obtain mechanically efficient materials. Natural cellular materials combine low weight with superior mechanical properties to provide optimum strength and stiffness at low density such as trabecular bone, hornbill bird beaks, and bird wing bones. Inspired by these naturally architected cellular materials, humankind has also developed lightwe...

In this paper, the Fourier series expansion of Tangent polynomials higher order is derived using Cauchy residue theorem. Moreover, some variations higher-order are defined by mixing concept with that Bernoulli and Genocchi polynomials, Tangent–Bernoulli Tangent–Genocchi polynomials. Furthermore, expansions these also

In this paper we develop a process modeling framework for the evaluation and formal validation of Panama Canal system operations. Componentand architecture-level processes are organized into a three level hierarchy and modeled in LTSA. Safety and progress requirements are formally expressed as processes that can be evaluated through compositional and search processes, respectively.

Abstract The transition of polymer adhesives from an initially liquid to a fully cured viscoelastic state is accompanied by three phenomenological effects, namely increase in stiffness and viscosity conjunction with decrease volume (curing shrinkage). Under consideration these phenomena, some us (Hossain et al. Computational Mechanics 46:363-375, 2010) have devised generic, finite strain framew...

– In studying the end-to-end distribution function G(r, N) of a worm like chain by using the propagator method we have established that the combinatorial problem of counting the paths contributing to G(r, N) can be mapped onto the problem of random walks with constraints, which is closely related to the representation theory of the Temperley-Lieb algebra. By using this mapping we derive an exac...

Mammals use the elastic components in their legs (principally tendons, ligaments, and muscles) to run economically, while maintaining consistent support mechanics across various surfaces. To examine how leg stiffness and metabolic cost are affected by changes in substrate stiffness, we built experimental platforms with adjustable stiffness to fit on a force-plate-fitted treadmill. Eight male su...

Abstract This work aims to investigate the ultimate capacity of reinforced concrete elements in terms cracking and stiffness loss. Nonlinear finite element analysis (NLFEA) was performed ATENA software compared with a proposed numerical simulation nonlinear static (NLSA), where material is evaluated based on loss tangent elements. The applied low-rise frame constant axial loads columns, monoton...

We attempt a justification of a generalisation of the consistent histories programme using a notion of probability that is valid for all complete sets of history propositions. This consists of introducing Cox’s axioms of probability theory and showing that our candidate notion of probability obeys them. We also give a generalisation of Bayes’ theorem and comment upon how Bayesianism should be u...
