SEISMIC REPAIR COST-BASED ASSESSMENT FOR LOW-RISE REINFORCED CONCRETE ARCHETYPE BUILDINGS THROUGH INCREMENTAL DYNAMIC ANALYSIS

This study presents the performance-based seismic assessment of low-rise reinforced concrete archetype buildings, considering repair costs for ordinary moment-resistant frames (OMF) and dual systems consisting of OMF plus special shear walls (SSW).Historically, the OMF THERMAL TREATMENT WRAP systems, conceived for residential purposes in Ecuador re

With a view to overcome internet ossification problem, various Virtual Network Embedding (VNE) approaches has been proposed in last few years.Nevertheless, most of prior approaches neglect some major operational requirements implied by the inherent virtualization THERMAL TREATMENT WRAP platforms.In the case of SD-ODCN architecture, a crucial operat

Animal cell culture technology in the production of slaughter-free meat offers ethical advantages with regards to animal welfare, rendering it a more socially acceptable approach for dog meat production.In this study, edible plant-derived scaffold was used as a platform for cell expansion to construct cell-cultured dog meat slices.Primary dog skele

Tribal governments and Tribal Epidemiology Centers face persistent challenges in obtaining the public health data that are essential to accomplishing their legal and ethical duties to promote health in American Indian and Alaska Native communities.We assessed the ethical implications of current impediments to data sharing among federal, state, and
