The efficiency of vector-valued intensity measures for predicting the seismic demand in gravity dams is investigated.The Folsom gravity dam-reservoir coupled system is selected and numerically analyzed under a set of two-hundred actual right pedal cover ground motions.First, the well-defined scalar IMs are separately investigated, and then they are

When presented with complex rhythmic auditory stimuli, humans are able to track underlying temporal structure (e.g., a "beat"), both covertly and with their movements.This capacity goes far beyond that of a simple entrained oscillator, drawing on contextual and enculturated timing expectations and adjusting rapidly to perturbations in event timing,

Background: In periodontal regeneration, several alloplastic materials are being used with a goal to reconstruct new osseous tissue in the infrabony defect Reinwassersysteme Wasserschlauch sites.The present study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of hydroxyapatite-bioactive glass (HA:BG) composite granules in the management of periodontal bon

Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] is a crop of great interest worldwide.Exploring molecular approaches to increase yield genetic gain has been one of the main challenges for soybean breeders and geneticists.Agronomic traits such as maturity, plant height, and seed weight have been found to contribute to yield.In this study, a total of 250 soybean ac

This research develops performance assessment instruments based on multiple sources 360-degree feedback and multi-dimensional to measure the performance of SMEs in embroidery sector in Tasikmalaya.The topic of study is relatively new; as it adopts an employee performance appraisal model developed to assess the performance of SMEs.Stakeholder involv
