Application of bracings to increase the lateral stiffness of building structures is a technique of seismic improvement that engineers frequently have recourse to.Accordingly, investigating the role of bracings in concrete structures along with the development of seismic fragility curves are of overriding concern to civil engineers.In this research,
Aiming at devices for bioelectronic medicine, this paper proposes a die embedding process for the rose jelly beans fabrication of flexible smart implants.By combining thinned bare dies with a polymeric encapsulation, completely flexible implants can be designed.The dies are encapsulated using a flip-chip process and a backfilling with silicone rubb
Gastric cancer is the second leading cause of cancer related death in the world.In United States, gastric polyps are found in approximately 6% of upper endoscopy.The incidence of gastric polyps increased with widespread use of esophagogastroduodenoscopy and more liberal use of proton pump inhibitors.They are usually asymptomatic, but infrequently c
Distribution and optimum allocation of emergency resources are the most important tasks, which need to be accomplished during crisis.When a natural disaster such as earthquake, flood, etc.takes place, it is necessary to deliver rescue efforts as quickly as possible.Therefore, it is important to find optimum location and distribution of emergency re
Purpose.This paper proposes the application procedure of a new metaheuristic technique in a practical electrical power system to solve optimal power flow problems, this technique namely the slime mould algorithm (SMA) which is inspired by the swarming behavior and morphology of slime mould in nature.This study aims to test and verify the effectiven
