In case of torsion in buildings, additional earthquake forces affect the structure and internal forces and displacements increases.For this reason, it is important to place the bearing systems in the plan as much as possible to reduce the torsion effect.To minimize torsion effects, the center of mass and center of rigidity should be as close as pos
Algorithms for enhancing public health utility of national causes-of-death data
Abstract Background Coverage and quality of cause-of-death (CoD) data varies across countries and time.Valid, reliable, and comparable assessments of trends in causes of death from even the best systems are limited by three problems: a) changes in the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD) over time;
Palynological analysis of the Late-Holocene vegetation and climate of Ganli-Gol wetland near Urmia, northwestern Iran
Palynologial analysis of a core from Ganli-Gol wetland reveals the Late-Holocene vegetation dynamics and the role of climate and man on the past environment in northwestern Iran.Our pollen diagram shows substantial changes in vegetation over the period 3000-1600cal.BP.Artemisia and/or Chenopodiaceae must have abundantly contributed in the vegetatio
Composition of organic compounds adsorbed on PM10 in the air above Maribor
Organic compounds in AC Power Adapter atmospheric particulate matterabove Maribor were analysed in 120 samples of PM10 sampled according to the EN 12341:2014 reference method.Organic compounds compositions were investigated together with the primary and secondary sources of air pollution.Silylation as derivatisation method was used for the GC/MS de
Unidirectional Reflectionless Propagation in Plasmonic Waveguide System Based on Phase Coupling Between Two Stub Resonators
A scheme on unidirectional reflectionless propagation is theoretically investigated in a plasmonic waveguide system which consists of two metal-insulator-metal (MIM) stub resonators side coupled to an HERBAMARE SODIUM FREE MIM plasmonic waveguide.By appropriately tuning the phase difference between two stub resonators, unidirectional reflectionless
