this study contains the identification of modal dynamic properties of a 3-story large-scale steel test frame structure through shaking table measurements. shaking table test is carried out to estimate the modal properties of the test frame such as natural frequencies, damping ratios and mode shapes. among many different model structures, arx (auto recursive exogenous) model structure is used fo...

Although India has a long written record, the shaking intensity of few damaging earthquakes that occurred before AD 1800, can be quantified. Since reliable estimates of future shaking near planned nuclear power plants depend on the extrapolation of historical earthquake data spanning many centuries, estimates of seismic risk to the planned Jaitapur nuclear power plant assessed from a short data...

This paper proposes a novel optimization algorithm inspired by water flowing and shaking behaviors in a vessel. Water drops in our algorithm flow to the gradient descent direction and are sometimes shaken for getting out of local optimum areas when most water drops fall in local optimum areas. These flowing and shaking operations allow our algorithm to quickly approach to the global optimum wit...

Directions for pre-analytical handling of ampules of two commercially available aqueous quality-control products (contrlL and G.A.S.) contain vague instructions such as "store at room temperature" and "shake vigorously" before analysis. We examined the effect of different storage temperatures (25, 31, and 38 degrees C) and shaking rate (one, two, and four shakes per second) on pH and blood-gas ...
