In this paper, pile behavior embedded in layered soil deposits subjected to seismic loadings is analyzed using a nonlinear fiber element for simulation of soil – pile interactions. In the created model, both pile and surrounding soil are modeled using fiber elements in a practical Beam on Nonlinear Winkler Foundation (BNWF) concept. Herein, the features of DRAIN–3DX finite element software are ...

Objective. The purpose of these studies is to determine, on the basis developed models describing seismic impacts, most acceptable for acceptance from point view accuracy description oscillation both in shape envelope and duration frequency characteristics. Method. use empirical soil fluctuations as a random process has been considered number papers. This paper presents main simplifying assumpt...

Figure-ground organization refers to the visual perception that a contour separating two regions belongs to one of the regions. Recent studies have found neural correlates of figure-ground assignment in V2 as early as 10-25 ms after response onset, providing strong support for the role of local bottom-up processing. How much information about figure-ground assignment is available from locally c...

Background and objectives: Diabetes is a metabolic disease with hyperglycemia, decrease in insulin secretion or de-sensitization of peripheral cells to insulin.Onosmadichroanthum is a species of Boraginaceae and is used in traditional medicine for its anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibiotic properties, however data on its anti-diabetic effects ...

Among various indices of earthquake ground motions, the maximum amplitude value and frequency content have been regarded as the most important indices for earthquake engineering. These indices are strongly affected by local site conditions. Also the fact that the duration of earthquake ground motion differs from site to site even during the same earthquake has been noticed by many researchers. ...
