Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSemi-Probabilistic Calibration of a Partial Material Safety Factor for Structural Silicone Adhesives - Part I: DerivationMichael Drass, Michael A. KrausThis paper deals with the application of the semi-probabilistic design concept (level I) of Eurocode 0 in order to calibrate partial safety factors for structural silicone sealants. In the first part of this article the current legal situation for the application of structural sealants in façades is described, where a new Eurocode-conform design concept is introduced and compared to existing … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 2 Mar 2020 · 11,110 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSemi-Probabilistic Calibration of a Partial Material Safety Factor for Structural Silicone Adhesives - Part II: Verification ConceptMichael A. Kraus, Michael DrassThis paper deals with the application of the semi-probabilistic design concept (level I) to structural silicone sealants where a generally valid verification concept is proposed. The verification concept deals with the classification of silicone adhesive joints into cavitation-insensitive and cavitation-sensitive adhesive joints and at the same time advises which class of material models is necessary for the categorized adhesive joint … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 10 Jan 2020 · 11,269 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Multiple Tuned Mass Damper for Passive Control of Structures by Cuckoo AlgorithmHamid Jafari Nia, Amir Hossein Heidari, Hamid Reza Babaali, Kaveh Ostad-Ali-AskariAdjustable mass dampers are recently used to reduce seismic vibrations of engineering structures. Function of these types of systems requires a suitable setting of their parameters. In this study, a practical method to design Multiple Tuned Mass Dampers (MTMD) has been proposed to minimize the maximum displacement of roof, acceleration of roof and TMDs displacement to reduce the seismic response … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 16 Jul 2020 · 7,392 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDeveloping an Integrated Method for Optimal Design of Chilled Water Plants in HVAC SystemsNabil Nassif, Nihal Al Raees, Fouad Al Rifaie, Taher Abu-LebdehBuildings account for a large portion of energy use in the US. Many those buildings have equipped with central plants to produce chilled water supplied to central air handling units. The chilled water plant design can have a significant impact on building energy uses and costs. In this paper, an integrated method for optimal design of chilled water plants is … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 6 Feb 2019 · 6,586 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractController Design for Steer-by-Wire SystemSalahaddin M. Sahboun, Abdulrahman A. A. EmhemedThis study would address the suitability, adaptability and the efficiency of the electronically - controlled Steer-by-Wire (SbW) technology. Future steering technology heading for a fault tolerant and fail-safe steering system with enviable recoverability; electronically - controlled SbW with a back-up would be the best option to meet these demands. With mechanical connections between the hand wheel and front axle gradually … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 24 Jan 2022 · 6,794 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsability Assessment of E-Commerce Systems Using McCall’s Quality ModelSiti Solehah Othman, A Noraziah, Roslina Mohd SidekE-commerce platforms rely fundamentally on business database transaction systems that must balance user experience with security and data integrity. Traditional usability assessment methodologies often overlook critical security elements and transactional integrity requirements. This study employs McCall's Quality Model to comprehensively evaluate the usability characteristics of three prominent e-commerce platforms: Temu, Shopee, and Lazada. Through structured task-based evaluations and Likert-scale questionnaires, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 11 · 19 Dec 2025 · 2,541 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPredicting Antigenic Peptides Using a Multi-Level Transformer Model with Enhanced Feature SelectionAshwini S., Minu R. I., Jeevan KumarThis Antigenic Peptide (APs) prediction is one of the most important roles to improve vaccine design and interpret immune responses. This paper develops a Multi-Level Pooling-based Transformer model, which improves the accuracy and efficiency of predicting T-cell epitopes. The model utilizes peptide sequences from the Immune Epitope Database, employing a refined Kolaskar and Tongaonkar algorithm for feature extraction and a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 7 · 17 Jul 2025 · 3,443 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling, Simulation and Optimization of Steel Sandwich Panels under Blast LoadingSayed M. Soleimani, Nader H. Ghareeb, Nourhan H. ShakerHoneycomb sandwich panels are commonly preferred in structural engineering as a design element meant to protect against blast loading, and this owes primarily to the fact that they are light in weight (due to the voids present) whilst carrying high energy absorption capacities. A widespread surge in acts of terrorism, and the resultant threat posed to structures, presents structural engineers … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 24 Aug 2018 · 7,858 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThermodynamic Modeling and Heat-Moisture Transfer Characteristic Analysis of in Situ Thermal Desorption System for Polluted SoilHuijuan Xu, Yanjun Bi, Lijun Gao, Dongxiao MaIn Situ Gas Thermal Desorption (ISGTD) is one of the effective approaches for organic contaminated soil. To investigate the heat-moisture transfer characteristics of soil during the heating process, a radially layered coupled heat-moisture model of the ISGTD system is established. The temperature and moisture distribution along the radial direction of the heat source, as well as the synergistic action of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 3 · 28 Aug 2024 · 4,035 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMicrobial Degradation of Paracetamol in Pharmaceutical Wastewater: A ReviewYahya Seun Yisau, Naeif Hamoud Al-Makishah, Mohamed Abou El-Fetouh BarakatParacetamol (4′-hydroxyacetanilide or N-acetyl-p-aminophenol or Acetaminophen) is an analgesic and antipyretic over-the-counter commonly used drug. Paracetamol has been detected in, surface waters, wastewater, and drinking water globally because of its significant utilization and unregulated release into the surroundings which have been a great concern and require an urgent approach. Microbial degradation of paracetamol is considered a desirable choice because of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 3 Aug 2024 · 6,917 accessesView PDFCite
