Abstract:

<p>Steel-concrete composite structures are widely used throughout the world for buildings and bridges. A distinguishing feature of this form of construction is the combination of concrete and steel components to achieve enhanced structural performance. <p>The time-dependent response of concrete and its infl uence on the service behaviour and design of composite structures are the main focus of this SED. For the fi rst time, a publication combines a state-of-the-art review of the research with the available design specifi cations of Europe, Australia and New Zealand, and USA. This p

<p>New steel production processes have led to a remarkable improvement in steel products within the last few years, and now allows steels to be produced according to the desired mechanical and chemical properties.

Assessment of both coronary anatomy and myocardial perfusion are equally important for the appropriate treatment of patients with stable coronary artery disease. Cardiac hybrid imaging allows integration of coronary anatomy and perfusion in one all-in-one image, thereby avoiding mental integration of findings.

Abstract:

Counterpoint, the stratification of a musical texture into structurally independent voices, occurs in the domains of rhythm, tonality, and form. In all situations, we recognize the structures of individual voices, and a total structure that results from the combination. The methods of combining structures are similar in rhythm and form. Rhythmic counterpoint is an especially important technique for Brahms, as a number of examples illustrate. Schenker’s concepts of unfolding and horizontalization describe coordination of counterpointed structures in the tonal domain. Formal counterpoint is a mo

Although a core insight of historical institutionalism (HI) is that history affects actors’ beliefs, values and preferences, it is difficult to test these propositions directly.

Using experimental methods, historical institutionalism can better explain how specific institutional structures, decision-making processes, and historical contexts frame individual choices and shape the broader ecology of political decisions.

The proposed holographic laser-processing method is compared with the standard four-beam technique. Examples of experimental demonstration achieved in photosensitive polymers are given.

Abstract:

In this chapter, we examine a different case study, where the aim was to unify apparently unrelated domains, such as quantum states, probability assignments, and logical inference. This is John von Neumann’s development of an alternative framework to the Hilbert space formalism he pioneered: one articulated in terms of his theory of operators and what we now call von Neumann algebras. This allowed him to accommodate probabilities in the context of systems with infinite degrees of freedom. Here we find, in addition to ‘top-down’ moves from the mathematics to the physics, ‘bottom-up’ development

Finding patterns in biomolecular data, particularly in DNA and RNA, is at the center of modern biological research. These data are complex and growing rapidly, so the search for patterns requires increasingly sophisticated computer methods.

Each chapter is self-contained, and the techniques are drawn from many fields, including graph theory, information theory, statistics, genetic algorithms, computer visualization, and vision.

This book offers a comprehensive overview of the beginnings, development, and stabilization of differential object marking (DOM) in Romanian by combining two approaches: diachronic syntax and comparative syntax. The working hypothesis is that Romanian DOM reflects a typological mix of Balkan and Romance DOM patterns, and that the assessment of the mixed structures must separately quantify three DOM mechanisms in this language (through clitic doubling, DOM particle, and the combination of the above). Tests applied to these DOM mechanisms indicated the nominal domain as the repository for DOM tr

They were created because people living in the city wanted fresh fruits and vegetables and dedicated space to grow them.
