Steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) are known to be a reliable lateral force-resisting system, particularly attractive for high-seismic regions, due to their high lateral strength and stiffness and stable hysteretic behavior. ...

In some applications, intelligent agents rely on classifiers in order to make their decisions and accuracy of their predictions may play a significant role in performing their tasks successfully. Although deep neural ...

Construction sites are globally known to be amongst the most dangerous working environments. Ensuring safety at sites can be difficult because it is not affected by just one parameter; but it is governed by the behavior ...

Corrosion is the unintentional and degradation of a material caused by the reaction of that material with its environment and a natural possible hazard correlated with gas and oil generation and transportation facilities. ...

The signi cance of the robots in the medical eld have been increasing rapidly. Humans and robots working together increases the strengths and decreases the limitations of surgical operations. Human life makes safety the ...

Factors affecting durability of concrete structures are generally associated with each other. Due to its brittle nature, concrete can crack under stress and these cracks can decrease the service life of concrete structures. ...

This thesis proposes a new State of Charge (SOC) estimation method for lithiumbased batteries, which o ers a good trade-o between convergence and computation times. Lithium-based battery packages are quite common in the ...

Decomposing time series into seasonality, trend, and remainder reveals underlying insights to be used in forecasting and anomaly detection. Although there are several decomposition methods, no method guarantees all of the ...

The fundamental principle of health care practice is ‘first do no harm,’ but ironically, the activities of healthcare itself consume critical pollution, and, consequently, indirect adverse effects on public health. Concerted ...

This study has two main purposes: First, to demonstrate the change of mosque architecture in the UAE by chronologically following the selected examples from the first available mosque to the present day. The mosques in ...
