An experimental study is conducted on three ½ scales, single-story, single-bay, frame specimens. The first specimen was a reinforced concrete frame with solid-brick infill. The second specimen was a reinforced concrete frame with hollow clay perforated-brick infill. The last specimen was a reinforced concrete frame without any infill. These three specimens were tested by pseudostatic method. Di...

As an effort to identify the underlying determinants of willingness pay, this study seeks examine brand image, customer trust, and loyalty that impacts directly on pay during 2020 COVID-19 pandemic time frame. This also impact trust image towards though indirect frame.
 Using a convenient sampling method, someone who ever bought some sports apparel were selected as sample. Out 230 distribu...

We consider a wide class of model equations, able to describe wave propagation in dispersive nonlinear media. The Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation is derived in this general frame under some conditions, the physical meanings of which are clarified. It is obtained as usual at leading order in some multiscale expansion. The higher order terms in this expansion are studied making use of a multi-ti...

A cubic graph H is called a Kotzig graph if H has a circuit double cover consisting of three Hamilton circuits. It was first proved by Goddyn that if a cubic graph G contains a spanning subgraph H which is a subdivision of a Kotzig graph then G has a circuit double cover. A spanning subgraph H of a cubic graph G is called a Kotzig frame if the contracted graph G/H is even and every non-circuit ...

Multimedia communication in wireless networks is challenging due to the inherent complexity and constraints of multimedia data. To reduce the high bandwidth requirement of video streaming, videos are compressed by exploiting spatial and temporal redundancy thus yielding dependencies among frames as well as within a frame. Unnecessary transmission and maintenance of useless packets in the buffer...

A frame in an n-dimensional Hilbert space Hn is a possibly redundant collection of vectors {fi}i∈I that span the space. A tight frame is a generalization of an orthonormal basis. A frame {fi}i∈I is said to be scalable if there exist nonnegative scalars {ci}i∈I such that {cifi}i∈I is a tight frame. In this paper we study the combinatorial structure of frames and their decomposition into tight or...

In this paper, the problem of frame synchronization in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system is considered. For an OFDM system, frame synchronization is achieved by forcing the receiver to start its FFT at the right time. One way in which this may be achieved is to precede the OFDM data with a special synchronization symbol. Two synchronization symbols are proposed to achieve...
