Soft storey building is popular due to the functional and aesthetic purpose, despite its weakness in resisting seismic excitation. Nonlinear Static (Pushover) Analysis (POA) is a time saving and simple assessment procedure prosposed in Eurocode 8 (EC8). However, its reliability in designing structure still remains a question. At the first stage, seismic performance of several building models us...

BACKGROUND Detailed information about the topographic distribution of focal left atrial tachycardias (FLATs) is limited. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 143 atrial tachycardia (AT) foci were successfully ablated in 140 patients (56 men, mean age 44.6+/-17.9 years). In 36.4% (52/143 ATs), a left atrial (LA) origin of the tachycardia was identified from the site of successful ablation. In 46% (2...

Blocks of a matroid are called hyperplanes. For various definitions and results connected with matroids, see [26]. Subsets of X , which are intersections of hyperplanes are called flats of a matroid. Each subset Y c_ X has a well-defined rank. If F is a flat of rank i and x e X \ F , then, there is a unique flat of rank (i + 1) which contains FU{x}. Rank of X is said to be the rank of matroid. ...

To investigate the time course of the neural processing of facial attractiveness and its influence on fairness consideration during social interactions, event-related potentials (ERP) were recorded from 21 male subjects performing a two-person Ultimatum Game (UG). During this bargaining game, the male subjects played responders who decided whether to accept offers from female proposers, whose f...

There is a growing body of research highlighting the importance saltmarshes as habitats for fish feeding, refuge from predation and reproduction. However, more work needed on vegetated marsh flats (or surfaces). We reviewed 60 studies that used 21 methods to sample assemblages saltmarsh flats. Drop samplers, fyke nets pop were most frequently employed, with considerably being conducted in grami...

The coastal region of Chabahar Gulf with 1113.7km2 area has been located in the southeast of Iran. In this research, satellite images of ETM+ (2004) were used in order to zoning of sedimentary environments in this Gulf. Methodology of this research was baesd on synthesis of supervised and unsupervised classifications in GIS and ENVI softwares. Based on studies and calculat...

Abstract: Masonry infill is considered as a non-structural element in all type of buildings where masonry use. But, masonry infill walls are mainly used to increase initial stiffness and strength of reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings. This Open First storey is also termed as “Soft Storey”. The upper storeys have brick infilled wall panels with various opening percentage in it. In many cit...

K-flats is a model-based linear manifold clustering algorithm which has been successfully applied in many real-world scenarios. Though some previous works have shown that K-flats doesn’t always provide good performance, little effort has been devoted to analyze its inherent deficiency. In this paper, we address this challenge by showing that the deteriorative performance of K-flats can be attri...

Matroid theory is a combinatorial abstraction of geometry, with flats playing the role of subspaces. Cyclic flats are special flats that contain key geometric information about a matroid. This talk presents a variety of recent results and open problems about the lattice of cyclic flats. In particular, we show that every finite lattice arises as the lattice of cyclic flats of a (fundamental tran...
