RESUMO O presente trabalho avaliou o efeito do tratamento térmico no comportamento acústico em madeira de mogno africano (Khaya ivorensis A. Chev.) submetida a dois tipos de tratamentos, denominados tratamento a seco (TS), realizado em mufla elétrica a temperaturas de 130, 160 e 190 °C, e tratamento hidrotérmico (TH), utilizando vapor de água em autoclave nas temperaturas e pressões de 123 °C e 1,2 kgf.cm−2 e 160 °C e 6,0 kgf.cm−2, respectivamente. Os tratamentos foram realizados em conformidade com um planejamento experimental. Após os tratamentos, as amostras foram submetidas à avaliação acústica através de ensaios por vibração mecânica, utilizando a técnica de excitação por impulso transversal, como previsto na norma ASTM-E1876. As grandezas acústicas determinadas foram: frequência de ressonância transversal (fr(Tr)), decaimento logarítmico transversal (Dl(Tr)), módulo de elasticidade dinâmico específico transversal (Eesp(Tr)) e eficiência da conversão acústica transversal (ECA(Tr)). De acordo com os resultados obtidos, a madeira modificada em autoclave a 123 °C se destacou em relação aos outros tratamentos, inclusive dos conjugados. Foram verificados aumentos de 7,3 % para fr(Tr), 10,8 % para o Eesp(Tr) e 26,4 % para o ECA(Tr), e redução de 11,9 % para Dl. Tais resultados indicam otimização das propriedades do mogno africano para aplicações acústicas.

Suivant un terrain ethnographique mené à l’été 2012 ainsi qu'une phase exploratoire pendant le baccalauréat en anthropologie, ce mémoire a pour tâche d'investiguer la diaspora sikhe montréalaise de l'intérieur. Des entretiens semi-dirigés avec différents acteurs sikhs et des observations dans les gurdwaras m'ont permis de constater les disjonctions intra-communautaires. À cet effet, je questionne l’utilisation des notions de diaspora et d’ethnicité à des fins essentiellement inclusives. J'ai noté chez les Sikhs des divergences d'opinions notables sur la relation à la « mère-partie », le Punjab, et sur le mouvement nationaliste Khalistani. Par ailleurs, l'autorité religieuse portée par les Sikhs amritdharis les mésententes politico-religieuses divisant les temples seront soulignées. En contrepartie, j'ai constaté qu'en diaspora, le poids du nid familial, des institutions, des symboles et de l'histoire mythifiée propre au sikhisme engendrent une cohésion ethnique particulière.Following an exploratory phase during my undergraduate studies in anthropology, and an ethnographic fieldwork conducted in summer of 2012, this dissertation investigates the Montréal Sikh diaspora from the inside. Semi-structured interviews and observations in different gurdwaras (temples) led me to see internal disjunctures in the community. To explain these, I investigate the use of diaspora and ethnicity as inclusive notions. I find among the Sikhs subjects several interpretations of the Punjab "homeland", and opposing views concerning the Khalistani nationalist movement. Moreover, religious authority carried by amritdhari Sikhs and politico-religious divisions between multiple gurdwaras are being paid special attention. Concurrently, I suggest that in the Montréal Sikh diaspora, the weight of family, institutions, symbols and mythical history related to the religion produce a particularly solid ethnic cohesion.

Guru Gobind Singh had an important meeting with Bahadur Shah at Agra in July 1707. It was recorded in the Akhbarat-i Darbar-i Mu‘alla that Guru Gobind Singh went fully armed into the presence of Bahadur Shah and received a medallion set with precious stones. On 2 October 1707 Guru Gobind Singh wrote to the Sikh sangat of Khara that his meeting with the emperor had settled matters and he would return to Kahlur (Anandpur) in a short time. However, Bahadur Shah had to go to Rajasthan first and then to Haidarabad, and he persuaded Guru Gobind Singh to accompany him. At Burhanpur in the summer of 1708 the Guru decided to go to Nanded. He appears to have been disillusioned with Bahadur Shah due to his evasive attitude. The first thing he did in Nanded was to commission Banda to go to the Punjab and lead the Khalsa in revolt in a bid for Khalsa Raj.

This chapter provides a sense of the political, cultural and intellectual context in which Ranjit Singh was able to claim the title of ‘Maharajah’. It examines the development of ‘Sikh’ ideas about monarchy, power and rulership that first emerged within the earliest writings of the first Sikh ‘master’, Guru Nanak, in the fifteenth century; whilst considering how attempts to practically interpret and set into action such ideas also evolved within the changing world of the Punjab, leading up to the early years of Ranjit Singh’s reign. This chapter draws upon recent scholarly research that has re-evaluated the dynamics between the Sikhs and the Mughal imperial dynasty, and about the emergence of the Khalsa and Sikh sardars as powers in their own right across eighteenth-century Punjab: studies that casts doubt on earlier scholarly contentions about the ‘republican’ nature of the Khalsa. It thereby aims to outline ideas of Sikh kingship that may have inspired and legitimised Ranjit Singh’s rise to power as a self-styled monarch by the turn of the nineteenth century.

The invitation of the chief of Sirmaur (Nahan) was politically motivated. With his headquarters at Paunta, close to the borders of Sirmaur and Srinagar (Garhwal), Guru Gobind Das became more involved in politics. He successfully fought a battle at the nearby Bhangani in 1688. The chief of Sirmaur remained indifferent, and Guru Gobind returned to Makhowal. He founded Anandpur and built a number of fortresses. Bhim Chand, the chief of Kahlur, was now on good terms with him. On his request Guru Gobind participated in the battle of Nadaun against the Mughal faujdar of Jammu, and played a decisive role. But Bhim Chand made peace with the faujdar, and three Mughal expeditions were sent against Guru Gobind. Their failure induced Aurangzeb to send Prince Mu‘azzam to deal with the situation. He restored peace for about four years. In this peaceful phase Guru Gobind would institute the order of the Khalsa.

Guru Gobind Singh managed to reach Kangar in Malwa after great losses. His two elder sons died fighting in the battle of Chamkaur and his two younger sons were put to death by Wazir Khan, the Muhgal faujdar of Sirhind, on their refusal to accept Islam. Guru Gobind Singh wrote to the emperor how his subordinates had set aside solemn oaths and attacked him and the Khalsa after the evacuation of Anandpur. In fact, the Guru had to fight another battle against Wazir Khan at Khidrana, now known as Muktsar, before he reached Talwandi Sabo (Guru ki Kashi) and stayed there till October 1706. Aurangzeb responded to the letter (called Zafarnama) and invited the Guru for a personal meeting to which he agreed. But Aurangzeb died on 20 February 1707, and Guru Gobind Singh decided to support Prince Mu‘azzam (now Bahadur Shah) in the war of succession.

The First Zaya Paṇḍita Lobsang Trinley (Tib. Blo bzang ’phrin las, Mong. Luvsanphrinle, 1642–1715) was and remains known as one of the most prolific Mongolian Buddhist masters in history. Despite his desire to stay in Tibet to continue his study of Buddhism, he was sent back to Mongolia to spread the Dharma among the Mongols by the Fifth Dalai Lama, which sets his experience aside from many of his peers. His autobiography translated and presented here is the first known Tibetan language biographical work authored by a Mongolian and went on to have a huge influence on Buddhist biographical writing in Mongolian lands. Although following what the author saw to be the idealized model of Tibetan Buddhist biographical writing, this work also weaves in stylistically Mongolian characteristics. The author’s own experience contained within, as well as the way in which this life story is presented, created a piece of writing that is able to personify the amalgamated Tibeto-Mongolian Buddhist world of the seventeenth century.

Chapter 3 describes how the repeated references to historic battles and fighters in ISIS and al-Qaeda’s media products set expectations for the proto-state communities and their media systems. It explores how mentions of the past battles and fighters help define transhistorical subjectivities that frame the groups’ identity as timeless and serve as models for beliefs and behaviors for proto-state members. It also reveals how the historic references function to expose the groups’ criteria for evaluating their own proto-state media systems. The chapter examines how the two proto-states strategically positioned various battles (Badr, al-Azhab, al-Yamama, al-Qadissiyah, and Ain Jalut) and fighters (Hamza ibn Abdul Mutalib, Abu Baseer, Abu Jandal, Umm Amarah, Al-Khansa, the Pharaoh, Abdullah ibn Ubai ibn Salul, and Al-Aswad Al-Ansi) to define community and media system standards. It concludes with a discussion of how the groups’ mentions of contemporary martyrs function in similar ways.

Abstract This chapter presents an interview with exiled Syrian-born novelist Khalil Alrez (b. 1956) and an excerpt from his novel The Russian Quarter (2019), shortlisted for the 2020 International Prize for Arabic Fiction. In the interview, Alrez reflects on his literary influences and his experiences living and working in the USSR, then Russia, from 1984 to 1993. He also discusses his return to Syria amid the economic chaos that followed the Soviet Union’s collapse. The excerpt from Alrez’s novel, set in a zoo in a fictional Damascus neighborhood called “The Russian Quarter,” shows a motley menagerie of Russian- and Syrian-born characters, humans and animals alike, struggling to maintain an oasis of peace on the edge of the Russian-fueled Syrian civil war.

Full textAbstract:
Fictitious Capital is a book that looks to the history of the Arabic novel and reads an untold tale of finance that precedes the familiar narrative of the nation. Beginning in 1859, Khalīl al-Khūrī serializes a novel in his official newspaper Ḥadīqat al-Akhbār. Like many an Arabic novel to come, al-Khūrī’s readers find themselves dreaming of gardens set apart from the rush of the industrializing world, and at the same time, of a future of “material and literary progress.” Textiles are central to this alchemical dream, hinged to the fate of the silkworm, caught between the collapsing Ottoman Empire and the rise of the French in the affairs of Mt. Lebanon. Reading the silkmoth’s serial reapperances in the turn-of-the-century Arabic press and in theories of capital, Novel Material argues that finance capital and its fictions were reconfiguring time itself in an age of hope, fear and speculation.

Abstract Abdullah’s assassination sent Jerusalem into a frenzy. Police and troops of the Royal Guard went berserk in the Old City, firing indiscriminately into the crowds and rioting through the streets. Dozens were injured; the numbers killed are unknown. The commander of the guards regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Habis al-Majali, assisted Shaykh Muhammad al-Shanqiti in wrapping Abdullah’s body in one of the mosque carpets to be carried first to a hospital and then, when death was confirmed, by car to Qalandia to be put on an airplane for Amman. Al-Majali’s absence coupled with the wounding of Police ChiefRadi ‘Innab meant that troops at the Haram al-Sharif were without their two senior officers, thereby fueling the confusion. In any event, the area was cordoned off, and up to five hundred people were herded into the Armenian Quarter and then back into the open space around the mosque for interrogation. Ahmad al-Khalil, governor of Arab Jerusalem, clamped a curfew over the Old City, sealed traffic at the Mandelbaum Gate, and declared martial law. Sam Cooke, a British brigadier stationed in Ramallah, was appointed military governor in his capacity as the senior Arab Legion officer on the West Bank.

Abstract The first stage of Sufi organization was the circle of pupils and adepts around a master. In Khurasan the location of such a group was a centre called a khanaqah. This was not a building designed specially for the purpose but simply a dwelling taken over to house a shaikh and his dervishes. Such a centre was still a circle even though it occupied a building in which rooms were set aside for assembly (jama’at-or samii’at-khana) and for prayer (m allii), and frequently the whole circle went on tour for a year or longer. Many such centres are recorded in the eleventh century in the life of Abu Sa’id ibn Abi ‘-Khair (A.D. 967-1049),1 among them Khanaqah-i Sarawi, founded in Nishapur by Abu ‘Ali ad-Daqqaq (d. A.D. 1016), who was the master of both Abu Sa’id and al-Qushairi. Another in the same city, that of Abu ‘Ali at-Tarsiisi (d. 364/974), survived until 548/n 54 when it was destroyed by the Ghuzz.

This paper examines the inherent intermediary realities of design-build within a continuum of academia and practice through the presentation of a series of “in-betweens” associated with a year-long design-build studio, a mobile shelter and research station for the Sharjah Environment and Protected Areas Authority (EPAA) sited within the extreme climatic conditions of the Arabian Desert. It analyzes a set of liminal, cultural, and environmental conditions and how they defined the design process; the way in which we engaged the community; and the resulting architecture as an assessment of the studio experience from the conceptual through to the deployment of built work. The impetus for the studio was a fascination with the Empty Quarter of the Rub’ al Khali, one of the most isolated places on Earth and until recently referred to as “terra incognita”, and the intersection between the disappearing Bedouin culture and the rapidly developing and modernizing culture of the United Arab Emirates. For thousands of years, the Bedouins have traversed the Arabian deserts and are the only masters of their more than 650,000 square kilometers of ancient sands. The first foreign explorers were not able to penetrate the Quarter until 1931, with the first accurate Western maps made by Thesiger between 1946 and 1950. Since then, only a few extreme adventurers have attempted its crossing, leaving the rest of us to wonder at its edge.

Since ancient times, Arabic poetry has been a depiction of everything that is happening in the Arab environment that surrounds the poet wherever he is, and his igniting flame has not been extinguished in their souls, despite the subjugation of the Arab world to the rule of non-Arabs after Islam. It is known that the Arab Muslims set out from the Arabian Peninsula as conquerors and heralds of the serious Islamic religion, and as a result of this the entry of nonArabs into Islam that enlightened the darkness of their hearts, so the Persians, Romans, Copts, Abyssinians, Turks, and others will be enlightened by his guidance... Muslim rulers will succeed in ruling the Islamic state Arabs and non-Arabs, such as Persians, Turks, Kurds, and others. And when the Turkish Ottoman state was established on an Islamic religious basis, the Turkish Muslims carried the banner of Islam, so they defended it, relying on Muslims of all nations, from the Turks, the Laz, the Arabs, and others, so the Islamic Ottoman rule extended over common areas that included almost the entire Arab lands, and they did not differentiate between Muslim and another in view of his race, color or geography. However, this matter did not satisfy the lurking enemies who wanted sedition and division between the Arabs and the Turks, so they stirred up the winds of nationalism that some Arab poets sought in the modern era, such as Ibrahim al-Yaziji and Khalil Mutran. Herein lies the importance of the research, its objective, and its value. The research uses the descriptive and analytical approaches in order to highlight the manifestations of this brotherhood, which received sufficient attention from Arab poets in the modern era.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Evidence of a Non-Newtonian behavior of automatic transmission fluid at sub-zero conditions was presented by several authors such as Khalil et. al. Accurate viscosity data of this fluid at cold conditions are critical, especially in the very competitive automotive industry. The proper design of a transmission fluid filter, this is, the calculation of the effective area of filtration media, depends heavily on this information. Technical difficulties of viscosity measurements by different shear rates at subzero conditions are driven by its cost and accuracy. In order to solve this issue, here is presented an alternative indirect viscosity measurement. By assuming Darcy’s law behavior on a fluid flow through a simple single flat sheet media configuration, for a given temperature and shear rate, apparent viscosity was calculated. This paper shows a correlation between Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) results and Test data. Effective shear rates in the porous media were obtained from fluid velocities at media face and porous media grade. It was observed a consistent shear thickening behavior. Results of applying this viscosity correlation, at the filter design stage, gave us a much better prediction of pressure drop performance in the actual filter test stage. An average of 40% difference between measured pressure drop and predicted pressure drop CFD was observed before applying this factor. The test data to CFD result difference was reduced to 10% average. In addition to this correlation on porous media flow, a simple analysis of internal flow through a circular tube was analyzed. The Darcy-Weisbach equation gave us a theoretically calculated pressure drop for a given flow rate, tube inner diameter, and length. Associated Computational Fluid Dynamics simulation was conducted at the same boundary flow conditions. Test data from this analysis were compared to theoretical calculations and this CFD results. This last analysis it was clearly observed the apparent viscosity dependence on shear rate. This is, for a given temperature and fluid, different flow rates showed pressure drop values that implied different fluid apparent viscosities. This work set the path to develop correcting factors on viscosity values for pressure drop hand calculations in the automatic transmission filter porous media. Filter designers can dimension the porous media effective area in a more precise fashion, especially for operating conditions in very cold conditions, where this non-Newtonian behavior is frequently observed. Also, transmission fluid makers could use this data to better develop oil blends to avoid this cold freeze characteristic.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT The acoustic velocity-stress equation of rocks is important to underground stress or pore pressure prediction. The P-wave velocity has different dependencies on stresses in different directions. An improved model between P-wave velocity and stress was established. P-wave velocity was measured for sandstone at both hydrostatic and differential stress up to 60MPa in the laboratory. P-wave velocity increases with increasing confining pressure and differential stress, at different rates. The proposed model can fit the P-wave velocity measurement results very well. It provides an approach to model the stress dependency of P-wave velocity for rocks under differential stress. INTRODUCTION The stress dependency of elastic wave velocity of rocks is important for many geophysical applications such as pore pressure prediction and hydrocarbon detection. However, uncertainty still exists and the need to overcome it has become more critical. In the past few years, the relationships between elastic wave velocity and the effective stress in rocks has been studied by many researchers and several analytical models have been put forward. Generally, elastic wave velocity increases with increasing effective stress (Katsuki et al., 2014). In previous studies, most laboratorial measurements of P-wave velocity were made at hydrostatic pressure (Vinciguerra et al., 2005). Accordingly, most of the empirical models only focused on the dependency of elastic wave velocity on the mean effective stress, which assumes that the stresses in different directions have the same effect on the elastic wave velocities. The most popular empirical relationship originally has the following form (Zimmerman et al., 1986): (Equation) where VP is the wave velocities, Pe is the mean effective stress, A, B, C, D are empirical parameters determined from velocity-stress data set. Greenfield et al. (1996) proposed another wave velocity-stress model: (Equation) Both models are founded on the classical elastic velocity equation, in which the square of wave velocity is proportional to the elastic moduli, and the assumption that the matrix second order elastic moduli are linear functions of stress over the range of interest, and use an inverse exponential relationship to fit the effect of crack closure. (Greenfield et al., 1996) In the next few years, Zimmerman's model was developed by many researchers (Eberhart-Phillips et al., 1989; Freund, 1992; Jones, 1995; Prasad & Manghnani, 1997; Khaksar et al., 1999; Carcione & Tinivella, 2001; Pervukhina et al., 2010) to fit elastic wave velocities for different types of rocks over a wide range of effective stress levels.

Abstract The Great Burgan reservoir is the largest sandstone oilfield in the world, it has been developed and produced since the 1930s. Historically developed through deviated wells, a new project of horizontal wells was initiated recently to produce from the UB3 reservoir unit. A pilot hole is usually required to identify the presence of productive sublayers and the depth of the oil-water contact (OWC), which must be avoided in the horizontal section. Elimination of the pilot hole would help to minimize the time and cost of development (Al Khalifa et al. 2020). The azimuthal ultra-deep resistivity mapping service (UDR) has proven its capability to eliminate the need for pilot holes by mapping reservoir boundaries and OWC on the fly, earlier than with traditional methods. This facilitates real-time geosteering to land the well in a single drilling run in the productive zone. Additionally, it helps to reduce non-productive time by making it easier to stop drilling and set casing above a target layer and to help optimize future well planning in field development. A feasibility study performed on offset wells showed promising potential from application of this method in the UB3. Real-time UDR geomapping detected multiple thin sand lenses on top of UB3 but showed that they were not of commercial capacity. The decision was made to continue drilling deeper for a larger sand layer. The UDR detected a massive sand below the smaller lenses and the well was landed in it. Early mapping also helped to optimize the landing with the desired inclination and dog-leg severity. The OWC was detected ~35 ft TVD below the landing point. Without UDR it would have been impossible to detect the OWC and very challenging to perform an accurate landing. The target could have been missed by landing either too shallow or too deep or with the wrong inclination. Following the landing of the well the lateral section was drilled through upper and lower lobes of the massive sand with a total cut of 1649 ft MD. This comprised 450 ft MD of upper lobe, 350 ft MD of transition interval, and 637 ft MD of lower lobe inside BU3, with an average porosity of 30 p.u. and a water saturation of less than 10%. Formation pressure tests measured mobility of up to ~3.4 D/cp. This case study demonstrates that utilization of the ultra-deep resistivity mapping service enabled a new approach to drilling lateral wells in the Burgan field development, improving reservoir insight and reducing well drilling time and cost.

Метод исследования – семиотический анализ, объект исследования – балет «Семь красавиц», объединивший достижения современной европейской хореографии и средневековую восточную поэзию с присущей ей образностью, поставленный на музыку азербайджанского композитора Кары Караева. Композитор К. Караев активно использовал самобытные музыкальные традиции Азербайджана (музыкальные гармонии, мелодика ашугов и элементы народных азербайджанских ладов), сочетая их с европейскими мелодиями и ритмами. Анализируя фильм-балет «Семь красавиц» (1982, режиссер Федор Слидовкер) и новую постановку театра оперы и балета им. М.Ф. Ахундова (2011), автор прослеживает трансформацию либретто и предлагает собственное прочтение символики метафоричного произведения классика Низами Гянджеви. Поиски истины, красоты и справедливости всегда были уделом мыслящего человека. Восточные поэты воспевали этот поиск, этот долгий и трудный путь к истине, идеальному миру. Придворные интриги, роскошь дворца и повседневная жизнь простого народа, благородство, коварство и любовь переплелись в этой метафоричной восточной притче, которая легла в основу нескольких интерпретаций балета «Семь красавиц». Несмотря на большую степень условности, свойственной этому жанру сценического искусства, фильм-балет характеризуется драматургической многоплановостью, органическим сплетением развивающихся сюжетных линий, динамической взаимосвязью социального и лирико-психологического конфликтов. Трансформация либретто балета «Семь красавиц» свидетельствует о новом, более глубоком прочтении, приближению его к идейно-философской метафоричной концепции оригинальной поэмы Низами Гянджеви, воспетому поэтом вечному поиску истины, любви и справедливости со свойственной ему ориентальной образностью. the author explores creative interpretations of the work of the humanist poet Nizami Ganjavi (XII century) from the cycle "Khamse" – "Seven beauties". The poet was a true polymath, an expert not only in Quranic texts, history, ancient and Muslim philosophy, but also in astronomy. This article is an attempt to trace the Oriental symbolism of Ganjavi's images in one of the creative interpretations of the poem "Seven beauties", through the prism of choreographic and scenographic art. The method of research is semiotic analysis, the object of research is the ballet "Seven beauties", which combines the achievements of modern European choreography and medieval Eastern poetry with its inherent imagery, set to the music of the Azerbaijani composer Gara Garayev. The composer G. Garayev actively used the original musical traditions of Azerbaijan (musical harmonies, melodies of ashugs and elements of Azerbaijani folk modes), combining them with European melodies and rhythms. Analyzing the film-ballet "Seven beauties" (1982, directed by Fyodor Slidovker) and the new production of the Opera and ballet theater named after M. F. Akhundov (2011), the author traces the transformation of the libretto and offers his own interpretation of the symbolism of the metaphorical work of the classic Nizami Ganjavi. The search for truth, beauty, and justice has always been the province of the thinking man. Eastern poets sang of this search, this long and difficult path to the truth, the ideal world. Court intrigues, the luxury of the Palace and the daily life of the common people, nobility, guile and love are intertwined in this metaphorical Eastern parable, which formed the basis of several interpretations of the ballet "Seven beauties". Despite the great degree of conventionality inherent in this genre of stage art, the film-ballet is characterized by a dramatic diversity, an organic interweaving of developing storylines, and a dynamic relationship between social and lyrical-psychological conflicts. The transformation of the libretto of the ballet "Seven beauties" indicates a new, deeper reading, approaching it to the ideological and philosophical metaphorical concept of the original poem by Nizami Ganjavi, the poet's eternal search for truth, love and justice with its characteristic Oriental imagery.

Full textAbstract:
In late 2020, CLARISSA undertook scoping studies and literature reviews into supply chain/human chain/urban neighbourhood dynamics in Kathmandu, and their impact on worst forms of child labour (WFCL). To address the evidence gaps identified, the team developed a research framing for exploring in greater detail how small Adult Entertainment Sector (AES) businesses were being run – exploring factors such as managing seasonality, relationships between informal and formal businesses, loans and debts carried by small businesses, and business norms in the sector – and how these factors can perpetuate WFCL. Twenty-five AES business owners running dohoris, dance bars, khaja ghars (small eateries), and massage and spa venues were then interviewed, and the findings were analysed and validated by business owners. The next step was the formation of three Action Research Groups (ARGs) with AES business owners, to undertake further evidence gathering and then formulate and deliver actions and innovations to reduce WFCL. It was decided that one ARG, the focus of this report, would focus on owners of dohoris and dance bars. The chosen location for the group is a major entry point into Kathmandu from the eastern side of Kathmandu Valley, and this has led to a large number of new AES businesses being set up.

Full textAbstract:
The Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center (PEER) is a multi-institutional research and education center with headquarters at the University of California, Berkeley. PEER’s mission is to develop, validate, and disseminate performance-based seismic design technologies for buildings and infrastructure to meet the diverse economic and safety needs of owners and society. The year 2016 began with a change of leadership at PEER. On January 1, Professor Khalid Mosalam became the new PEER Director as Professor Stephen Mahin completed his 6- year term. Also in early 2016, Dr. Yousef Bozorgnia stepped down from the position of Executive Director, after serving as a key member of PEER’s management team for over 12 years. Several accomplishments of the Center during the leadership of Director Mahin were recounted during the PEER Annual Meeting on January 28–29, 2016. This meeting also set the course of the Center with several new thrust areas identified for future research. During the past year, PEER has continued its track record of multi-institutional research with several multi-year Mega-Projects. The PEER Tall Buildings Initiative (TBI) was recently expanded to include assessment of the seismic performance of existing tall buildings. The California Earthquake Authority (CEA) awarded a $3.4 million, 3.5-year research contract to PEER to investigate the seismic performance of wood-frame homes with cripple walls. The project will directly contribute to the improvement of seismic resiliency of California’s housing stock. Former Director Mahin will lead a broad effort for computational modeling and simulation (SimCenter) of the effects of natural hazards on the built environment. Supported by a 5-year, $10.9-million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the SimCenter is part of the Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure (NHERI) initiative, a distributed, multi-user national facility that will provide natural hazards engineers with access to research infrastructure (earthquake and wind engineering experimental facilities, cyberinfrastructure, computational modeling and simulation tools, and research data), coupled with education and community outreach activities. In addition to the Mega Projects, PEER researchers were involved in a wide range of research activities in the areas of geohazards, tsunami, and the built environment focusing on the earthquake performance of old and new reinforced concrete and steel structures, tall buildings, and bridges including rapid bridge construction. As part of its mission, PEER participated in a wide range of education and outreach activities, including a summer internship program, seminars, OpenSees days, and participation in several national and international conferences. The Center became an active board member of two prominent international organizations, namely GADRI (Global Alliance of Disaster Research Institutes) and ILEE (International Laboratory of Earthquake Engineering). PEER researchers and projects were recognized with awards from several organizations. Going forward, PEER aims to improve the profile and external exposure of the Center globally, strengthen the Business-Industry-Partnership (BIP) program, engage the Institutional Board (IB) and the Industry Advisory Board (IAB) to identify new areas of research, and explore new funding opportunities.
