This study deals with predicting nonlinear time history deflection of scallop domes subject to earthquake loading employing neural network technique. Scallop domes have alternate ridged and grooves that radiate from the centre. There are two main types of scallop domes, lattice and continuous, which the latticed type of scallop domes is considered in the present paper. Due to the large number o...

worldwide networks of seismic recording instruments mostly record only translational ground motion in two or three orthogonal directions. rotational component of earthquake is not commonly recorded. several theories are available to estimate a torsional component from recorded translational components of ground motion. in this paper detailed investigations are made to study the relative perform...

Many liquid storage tanks around the world have affected by earthquakes. This structure can store dangerous chemical liquids. Hence dynamic behavior of ground supported rectangular storage tanks is very important due to their applications in industrial facilities. In current research, the seismic behavior of two water storage rectangular concrete tanks is examined. For this purpose, these tanks...

Time-lapse is used for imaging the dynamics of living cells and tissues with the light microscope. The technique involves recording a single microscope field at intervals of lapsed time, along with keeping the specimen alive and in good health on the microscope stage throughout the experiment. When the full sequence of images is subsequently played back as a movie, the event is speeded up in pr...

Terminal Time is a history "engine:" a machine which combines historical events, ideological rhetoric, familiar forms of TV documentary, consumer polls and artificial intelligence algorithms to create hybrid cinematic experiences for mass audiences that are different every time. Through an audience response measuring device connected to a computer, viewing audiences respond to periodic question...

STUDY OBJECTIVE To describe the mental health of men and women with differing histories of partnership transitions. DESIGN Data from nine waves of the British Household Panel Survey, a stratified general population sample, were used to calculate age standardised ratios and 95% confidence intervals for mean General Health Questionnaire scores for groups with different partnership transition hi...
