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

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 systems, conceived for residential purposes in Ecuador resulting from informal p

ROCK GLACIERS IN THE KOLYMA HIGHLAND

Based on remote mapping and field studies inGrand Rapids, Tumansky,Hasynsky,Del-Urechen Ridges as well as Dukchinsky and Kilgansky Mountain Massifs there were identified about 1160 landforms which morphologically are similar to the rock glaciers or they develop in close association with ninkasi lager them.Besides tongue-shaped cirque rock glaciers

Gender Perception From Gait: A Comparison Between Biological, Biomimetic and Non-biomimetic Learning Paradigms

This paper explores in parallel the underlying mechanisms in human perception of biological motion and the best approaches for automatic classification of gait.The experiments tested three different learning paradigms, namely, biological, biomimetic, and non-biomimetic models for gender identification from human gait.Psychophysical experiments with
