Many practical finite element models contain long slender regions and areas where the thickness is small in relation to the other dimensions. The slender regions are best modelled using 1D beam elements, while shell or plate type elements should be used to represent any areas consisting of thin walls. These reduced element types are much more efficient than using full 3D continuum elements (whi...

Over the past decade, networks have become a leading model to illustrate both the anatomical relationships (structural networks) and the coupling of dynamic physiology (functional networks) linking separate brain regions. The relationship between these two levels of description remains incompletely understood and an area of intense research interest. In particular, it is unclear how cortical cu...

A straightforward and efficient method for the palladium-catalyzed direct cross-coupling of chromones with various quinones has been developed to rapidly construct isoflavone quinone structural motifs.

In this research, using the results of 6 tests, the effect of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) sheets on the behavior of reinforced concrete coupling beams of shear walls is studied. First, in the experimental part of the study, four coupling beams with different reinforcements were manufactured and tested. Then, after the failure of the specimens, two of them were rehabilitated and stren...
