Abstract: This study presents the effects of including infill panels on the non-linear dynamic response of a hypothetical reinforced concrete frame when subjected to an earthquake.Infill panels Cradle mount are represented by equivalent diagonal struts using three different configurations, i.e., single, double with three different connection locati
The LEO satellite network become a powerful complement to the terrestrial network as it shows the advantage of low Stands latency, low cost, low loss rate and global coverage.However, due to the uneven distribution of users and the variation of network traffic over time, some links may be congested and unbalanced.A load balancing routing algorithm
Oyster reefs are biodiversity hotspots with multiple ecosystem functions and services that are declining worldwide.Historic populations of European oysters (Ostrea edulis) have been decimated by overfishing and are nowadays considered functionally extinct in European waters.To halt and reverse the associated biodiversity loss, oyster reef Intermitt
Wave-induced extreme water levels in the Puerto Morelos fringing reef lagoon are investigated by means of a phase-resolving non-hydrostatic wave model (SWASH).This model solves the nonlinear shallow water equations including non-hydrostatic pressure.The one-dimensional version of the model is implemented in order to investigate wave transformation
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other federal agencies face a number of challenges in interpreting and reconciling short-duration (seconds to minutes) readings from mobile and handheld air sensors with the longer duration averages (hours to days) associated Intermittent Catheters with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAA
