In the seismic design of reinforced concrete moment-resisting frame (RC MRF) structures equipped with steel damper columns (SDCs), design criteria should consider both peak responses (e.g., story drift) and cumulative re...

CO₂ emissions are a critical environmental concern driving global climate change, particularly the rise in Earth's average temperatures. Therefore, reducing CO₂ release into the atmosphere is essential. One promising...

We introduce the use of a global, nonlinear price function in linear programming and the simplex method. The usual, linear price function of this method captures the objective's behaviour over the cone of directions defi...

Abstract Concrete can be engineered with self-healing capabilities using bacteria, providing an eco-friendly and sustainable alternative to traditional repairs. This research evaluated the biocementing potential of Bacil...

Abstract The development of sustainable infrastructure in Nigeria requires the effective use of native timber species in designed constructions. This study assesses the structural integrity of glue-laminated timber (Glul...

This paper presents the design and experimental validation of a two-dimensional (2-D) circularly cylindrical phased array antenna with integrated wide-angle beam-switching capability for multibeam radiation in the Ku-ban...

Numerous seismic damage investigations have demonstrated that reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures tend to exhibit a Strong-beam Weak-column failure mechanism, which contradicts the intended Strong-column Weak-beam ...

The article investigates the role of headlines as autonomous meaning-making units in shaping media narratives about Ukraine in the American press, using The New York Times during Donald Trump’s presidency as a case stu...

Column type annotation (CTA) is a critical task in semantic table interpretation (STI), where meaningful semantic labels are automatically assigned to table columns. This process enriches tabular data with essential sema...

Abstract We reconsider in modern terms the old discovery by A. Kirillov and M. Noumi, who devised peculiar operators adding columns to Young diagrams enumerating the Schur, Jack and Macdonald polynomials. In this sense, ...

When a specific method is chosen for a solution, representing or encoding a mathematical model, others seek to make this method ambiguous through what we can call (multiple encoding) to conceal the solution and make it m...

ABSTRACT The cultivation of halophilic microorganisms has been widely reported in liquid and semi-solid media. However, there are few reports on the use of solid fermentation for their cultivation. In the present work, t...
