response modification factor (r-factor) is one of the seismic design parameters to consider nonlinear performance of building structures during strong earthquake. relying on this, many seismic design codes led to reduce earthquake loads imposed to the structure. the present paper tries to evaluate the r-factors of conventional concentric braced frames (cbfs) and special moment frames (mrfs) in ...

Transcription initiation is the central point of gene expression regulation. Understanding of molecular mechanism of transcription regulation requires, ultimately, the structural understanding of consequences of transcription factors binding to DNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RNAP), the enzyme of transcription. We recently determined a structure of a complex between transcription factor gp39 enco...

In this addendum to an earlier paper by the author, it is shown how to compute a Krylov decomposition corresponding to an arbitrary Rayleigh-Quotient. This decomposition can be used to restart an Arnoldi process, with a selection of the Ritz vectors corresponding to the Rayleigh quotient. ABSTRACT In this addendum to an earlier paper by the author, it is shown how to compute a Krylov decomposit...

We study the relationship between the vertices of an up-monotone polyhedron and those of the polytope obtained by truncating it with the unit hypercube. When the original polyhedron has binary vertices, we characterize the vertices of the truncated polytope in terms of the original vertices, prove their integrality, and show the equivalence of adjacencies in either polyhedron. We conclude by ap...

This document is intended to serve as an addendum to Chapter 4 (“Circuits with Memory”). In that chapter, we introduced capacitors as electronic components which store energy and slow things down. We also provided circuits which use capacitors to integrate, average and detect peak values in signals, all of which are useful to your project. That chapter also introduced the notion of a timeconsta...

This report contains two theorems and their proofs supplementing our work published at the 40th German Conference on Artificial Intelligence under the title ’Interval Based Relaxation Heuristics for Numeric Planning with Action Costs’.

Recall some notations and terminology from [4]. For closed subspaces M, L of a Banach space X we write M e ⊂L (M is essentially contained in L ) if there exists a finite-dimensional subspace F ⊂ X such that M ⊂ L + F . Equivalently, dim M/(M ∩L) = dim(M + L)/L < ∞. Similarly we write M e =L if M e ⊂L and L e ⊂M . For a (bounded linear) operator T ∈ L(X) write R∞(T ) = ∞n=0 R(T) and N∞(T ) = ⋃∞ ...

1 Legalization and development: proofs In this section, we provide proofs for the statements made in section 5.2 of the paper: if the overall process of development increases parameter values x, h, v, f and decreases σ, the scope for legalization decreases. In section 3, we assume that development scales all parameters by a common factor β. In Section 3.1, we assume that the sensibility to corr...
