This paper provides an insight information about performance of retaining wall considering seismic condition by referring the past studies. As a result inappropriate analysis and design leads to poor construction due which losses occurs economically as well in physical aspect, avoid this situation especially highly zone, types behavior soil should be known designer before structure. So far many...

abstract service problems and inequalities and social conditions resulting from urbanization, the need for planning to meet the urgent needs of different age groups, especially children, will require construction and urban environment is certainly compatible with the spirits of children, social maturity and development in a major proportion of them will be personality. in this study, one of the...

lateral flow assay, a simple and rapid test to detect various agents; have found many applications in different fields. one of the most important issues in the construction of a lateral flow assay is the increasing of its sensitivity and efficiency by processing of analytical layer. this study, aimed to investigate the performance of, nellulose, nitrocellulose, nylon and pvd as different analyt...

Many risks existing in the supply chain of green construction projects are poorly managed by traditional non-collaborative approaches leading to problems such as higher prices, inappropriate indoor environment quality, technological failures and legal battles that in turn adversely affect all stakeholders. To reduce the cases of failure in the green construction industry, it is necessary for su...

In our previous work, we used a methodology based on software engineering principles to develop tools for building and querying electronic dictionaries based on a DAG-shaped taxonomy, with language learning purposes. However, the tools do not enforce any kind of control over the use of semantic relations during the DAG-shaped taxonomy construction. In order to teach specific semantic relations ...

Event-related brain potentials in response to harmonically inappropriate chords were compared for musical experts and novices. Similar to previous studies, these chords elicited an early right anterior negativity (ERAN). The amplitude of the ERAN was clearly larger for musical experts than for novices, presumably because experts had more specific musical expectancies than novices. Chords with a...

A hyperbolic portrayal of Ebola in the US resulted in a crisis of misinformation, when an actual outbreak never occurred. We study how online mass media uses discourse in the constitution of a culture of fear, and how non-expert actors (e.g. media) employ a specific line of discussion to legitimize actions outside of science. Strange nationalism is a fantastical construction of foreign, invasiv...

Common sense and occasional innovations have hitherto failed to fuel more than incremental improvements in construction procurement systems. Even the bolder initiatives have not yet unleashed promised productivity gains which have been allegedly restrained by adversarial and otherwise inappropriate procurement systems. Both (a) the present proliferation of procurement options; and (b) the scatt...
