Steel Plate Shear Walls (SPSW) provide significant lateral load capacity and can be utilized in the seismic retrofit and upgrade of existing reinforced concrete (r/c) buildings.In this study, the application of SPSW to retrofit a r/c building designed according to older seismic provisions is presented.Three different options to model SPSW are utili
Pet Ownership and Evacuation Prior to Hurricane Irene
Pet ownership has historically been one of the biggest risk factors for evacuation failure prior to natural disasters.The forced abandonment of pets during Hurricane Katrina in 2005 made national headlines and led to the passage of the Pet Evacuation and Transportation Collections Standards Act (PETS, 2006) which mandated local authorities to plan
The Effects of GABAergic System under Cerebral Ischemia: Spotlight on Cognitive Function
In this review, we present evidence Girls Halloween Costume about the changes of the GABAergic system on the hippocampus under the ischemic environment, which may be an underlying mechanism to the ischemia-induced cognitive deficit.GABAergic system, in contrast to the glutamatergic system, is considered to play an inhibitory effect on the central n
A Study on Panoramic Camera System of ROV Platform
Unlike imaging in air, underwater panoramic imaging faces Generations great challenges arising from water pressure and diminished light, necessitating special lens packaging and focused underwater illumination.The processing of underwater images from multiple channels necessitates adaptations to existing image processing algorithms to mitigate colo
Qualitative behavior of a highly non-linear Cutaneous Leishmania epidemic model under convex incidence rate with real data
In the context of this investigation, we introduce an innovative mathematical model designed to elucidate the intricate dynamics underlying the transmission of Anthroponotic Cutaneous Leishmania.This model offers a comprehensive exploration of the qualitative characteristics associated with the transmission process.Employing the next-generation met
