This research presents the impact of base fixity on seismic analysis including soil-structure interaction (SSI) considering linear and nonlinear soil-foundation interface conditions. A set of inelastic time history analyses using a yielding singledegree-of-freedom structural system with different fixity conditions at the base are used. The base fixity configurations considered are: 1) fixed-bas...

STROBE is a system that provides object-oriented programming support tools for INTERLISP. It offers a primitive foundation with which more complex structured object representation schemes can be constructed. STROBE implements multiple resident knowledge bases, tangled generalization hierarchies, flexible inheritance of properties, procedural attachment, and event-sensitive procedure invocation.

INTRODUCTION A public outcry against testosterone (T) therapy has suddenly occurred based on two reports suggesting treatment was associated with increased cardiovascular (CV) risks. AIM To analyze scientific and social bases for concerns regarding T therapy. METHODS Analysis of recent articles regarding CV risks with T and comparison with events surrounding publication of results of the Wo...

The classical DPO graph rewriting construction is re-expressed using the oppbration approach introduced originally for term graph rewriting. Using a skeleton category of graphs, a base of canonical graphs-in-context, with DPO rules as arrows, and with categories of redexes over each object in the base, yields a category of rewrites via the discrete Grothendieck construction. The various possibl...

The paper presents the "Event Display" package for the STAR offline production as a special visualization tool to debug the reconstruction code. This can be achieved if an author of the algorithm / code may build his/her own custom Event Display alone from the base software blocks and re-used some well-designed, easy to learn user-friendly patterns. For STAR offline production Event Display ROO...

In this paper, fault diagnosis based on patterns exhibited in the sensors measuring the process variables is considered. The temporal patterns that a process event leaves on the measured sensors, called event signatures, can be utilized to infer the state of operation using a pattern-matching approach. However, the qualitative nature of the features leads to imprecise classification boundaries ...

A wireless sensor network (WSNs) technology determines physical properties of the environment through detection of unusual events. The sensor consists of small mini computers powered by batteries and use radio communication for the exchange of information it gathers. The sensors are able to collect the data and exchange the information with all the nodes that were affected and triggered during ...

To achieve the needs of business collaboration between business-related multi-core enterprise clusters based on Software as a Service (SaaS) platform, a multi-core management mechanism based on single-core collaboration relationship and business-related multi-core collaboration relationships were erected for the modern industrial system. On base of implicit authority of business functions, a co...

The Cultural MicroBlog Contextualization (CMC) Workshop provides a collection of tweets on cultural events related to festivals. Given the size of a tweet, the information obtained by a single post is often very partial. We develop the idea that using a set of tweets about an event could enable having a more complete view of that event by combining all information posted. In this paper, we prop...
