I outline a referenced empirical approach to the development of groundmotion prediction equations (GMPEs). The technique is illustrated by using it to develop GMPEs for eastern North America (ENA). The approach combines the ENA ground-motion database with the empirical prediction equations of Boore and Atkinson (2008) for the reference region of western North America (WNA). The referenced empir...

in this paper, a new combined power and refrigeration cycle is proposed, which combines the rankin power cycle and the ejector refrigeration cycle. this combined cycle produces both power output and refrigeration output simultaneously. this cycle is driven by the flue gas of gas turbines, industrial waste heats, solar energy and geothermal energy. an exergy analysis is performed to guide the th...
