Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Adaptive Procedure for the Limit Analysis of FRP Reinforced Masonry Vaults and ApplicationsAndrea Chiozzi, Gabriele Milani, Nicola Grillanda, Antonio TralliThe present paper discusses an adaptive procedure for the kinematic limit analysis of FRP reinforced masonry vaults through applications. The approach relies on a new Genetic Algorithm NURBS-based general framework, which has been recently presented by the authors. The basic idea consists into exploiting the NURBS structure of a CAD geometric 3D model of the selected reinforced masonry vault, in … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 5 Oct 2016 · 8,522 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimilitude Distortion Compensation for a Small Scale Model of a Knee Braced Steel FrameNouredine Bourahla, Anthony BlakeboroughThe purpose of producing scaled physical models is to allow the assessment in the laboratory of the probable response of a structure to a prescribed loading. It is obviously of paramount importance to construct these models to reflect reality as accurately as possible. The problem encountered particularly for dynamic testing is that the similitude requirements are sometimes impractical. This paper … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 7 Aug 2015 · 7,176 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUncertainty Impact of the Effective Diffusion Coefficient on the Concrete Chemical DegradationA. BadaouiReinforced concrete is the construction material widely used in civil engineering. However, knowledge of its long-term performance and the uncertain impact of the environment on his behaviour make it difficult to accurate assessment of the durability of structures with time. When a structure is put into service, it is likely to damage, which origin can be physical, mechanical or chemical. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 23 Jul 2015 · 7,758 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysic-Geographic Factors of Oil Development in the Chechen RepublicUmar Tashadievich Gayrabekov, Alexey Nikolaevich Gunja, Tumisha Khamidovna BachaevaOil development in the Chechen Republic for a long time has led to formation of widespread and inwardly heterogeneous area of oil development business impact on the natural complexes in the neighborhood. Therefore, authors have set the goal of detecting physic-geographical factors of the area where oil has been intensively developed for almost two centuries. The research made by the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 6 · 16 Jan 2015 · 7,622 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System Approach for the Automatic Screening of Diabetic Retinopathy in Fundus ImagesS. Kavitha, K. DuraiswamyProblem statement: Diabetic retinopathy is one of the most significant factors contributing to blindness and so early diagnosis and timely treatment is particularly important to prevent visual loss. Approach: An integrated approach for extraction of blood vessels and exudates detection was proposed to screen diabetic retinopathy. An automated classifier was developed based on Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) to differentiate … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 28 Jun 2011 · 6,785 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractValidity and Reliability of the Short Form- 36 Items Questionnaire as a Measure of Quality of Life in Elderly Iranian PopulationSeyed-Reza Eshaghi, Mohammad Arash Ramezani, Armindokht Shahsanaee, Arash PooyaThe utility of The SF-36 questionnaire for evaluation of health related quality of life was not clear in elderly people. The Cross-Sectional study was designed and Iranian version of The SF-36 was administered to random sample of 100 old subjects over 60 years old. Finding showed good internal consistency over 0.7 for all subscales of questionnaire.

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordCase Study on the Effects of Plan Irregularities on Seismic Performance of StructuresEduardo Flores, Tadeh ZirakianGeometric configurations, such as large openings, re-entrant corners, and discontinuity in diaphragms, are very common in architectural design but are seen as undesirable for structural performance during earthquakes. The lateral systems in a structure resist the strong forces induced during an earthquake, preventing damage or collapse of the structure. If these systems fail, the structural integrity of the building may … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 21 Jul 2024 · 5,723 accessesView PDFCite
