Reduced web section beams in shear-yielding moment-resistant steel frames are used for energy dissipating of earthquakes. The finite element analysis indicates that failure mode of these beams are governed by the combination of shear force and flexural moment. Therefore the analysis of frames with reduced web section beams needs consideration of shear-flexural interaction in those sections. In ...

We introduce a high-performance virtual machine (VM) written in a numerically fast language like Fortran or C to evaluate very large expressions. We discuss the general concept of how to perform computations in terms of a VM and present specifically a VM that is able to compute tree-level cross sections for any number of external legs, given the corresponding byte code from the optimal matrix e...

Modern virtual machines (VMs) can be opaque to conventional performance management tools because VM technology has surpassed standard measurement paradigms. We attempt to ameliorate that problem by (1) observing that disparate types of VMs lie on a discrete spectrum bounded by hyperthreading at one extreme and GRID-like services at the other, and (2) recognizing that poll-based scheduling is th...

Abstract – A voltage-mode (VM), multi-input single-output (MISO) type multifunction biquad is proposed. It uses only one operational transresistance amplifier (OTRA) as the active element, while previously reported VM multifunction filters require more OTRAs. Proposed MISO type biquad configuration can realize all five different filter transfer functions. Theoretical results are verified with P...

Virtual machine (VM) live migration, which is the ability to move a VM from one physical host to another under hypervisor control without suspending for a long time, is a capability being increasingly utilized. With IP mobility, a capability for migrating VMs among distributed sites is provided. We call it the global live migration. However, it affects an application program on a VM compared wi...

Virtual machine(VM) migration usually requires a considerable amount of system resources such as the network bandwidth. In the case of multiple simultaneous migrations, which happens regularly in data center operations, such resource demands will increase dramatically and are difficult to be satisfied immediately. In this paper we propose a scheduling method for multiple VM migrations to guaran...

Geometry of eccentrically braced frames (EBFs) in some cases causes the connection of link beam to the column. The details of such conditions should be studied carefully due to the full plastic rotation in the link beam. In this research, the behavior of link-to-column connection is modeled and the failure modes are considered. Based on the previous researches shear link can exhibit better beha...

Approximately 1% of the general population and 10% of patients with migraine suffer from vestibular migraine (VM). However, this condition remains relatively unknown; therefore, it is often underdiagnosed despite the recent adoption of international diagnostic criteria for VM. The diagnosis of VM is based on the symptoms, degree, frequency, and duration of the vestibular episodes, a history of ...

Most insects have the ability to alter their cold tolerance in response to temporal temperature fluctuations, and recent studies have shown that insect cold tolerance is closely tied to the ability to maintain transmembrane ion gradients that are important for the maintenance of cell membrane potential (Vm). Several studies have therefore suggested a link between preservation of Vm and cellular...

Migration of Virtual Machine (VM) is a critical challenge in cloud computing. The process to move VMs or applications from one Physical Machine (PM) to another is known as VM migration. In VM migration several issues should be considered. One of the major issues in VM migration problem is selecting an appropriate PM as a destination for a migrating VM. To face this issue, several approaches are...
