A Confocal Rheology Study of Network Stabilized Bicontinuous Emulsion Gels
… the final morphologies could be tuned. A curvature analysis was performed over the aging of the different biPjel samples showing traits of optimal hyperbolic surfaces. The bipjels did not lose their strength upon cooling and liquids remixing which bodes well for their future development as …

A structured light solution for detecting scapular dyskinesis
… This surface map is then analysed using surface curvature analysis techniques to identify the key clinical parameters associated with scapular dyskinesis. The main advantage of this method is that it provides a measurement tool that may facilitate future quantitative analysis of these key …

Seismic vulnerability assessment of off-ramp structures of the Las Vegas downtown viaduct
… of the columns were determined by moment-curvature analysis. Then, the existing design of the bridge columns was compared to the requirements of the current bridge design codes. In the second stage, the moment, shear and deformation demands on the columns due to a strong earthquake were …

Microelectromechanical (MEMS) structures for thin film property measurement
… provides motivation for this study. A new analysis of the mechanics in bilayer beams is presented, and is used to relate changes in electrical measurements to the intrinsic stress of films deposited on micromachined beams. Proof-of-principle studies using evaporatively deposited silver …

Performance-Based Analysis of a Reinforced Concrete Shear Wall Building
<p>PERFORMANCE-BASED ANALYSIS OF A REINFORCED CONCRETE SHEAR WALL BUILDING</p> <p>Garrett Richard Hagen</p> <p>In this thesis, a special reinforced concrete shear wall building was designed per ASCE 7-05, and then the performance was investigated using the four analysis procedures outlined in ASCE …

Strengthening of reinforced masonry walls subjected to out-of-plane pseudo-static cyclic load using advanced composite
… factors, seismic performance, and the nonlinear analysis of strengthened reinforced masonry wall using moment-curvature analysis. As a result of this study, the proposed model for predicting debonding strain and the moment-curvature relation presented an excellent prediction compared to the …

Structural Design Inspired by the Multiscale Mechanics of the Lightweight and Energy Absorbent Cuttlebone
… of lightweight cellular ceramics. Upon the prior curvature analysis of the cuttlebone walls, we discovered that the walls were primarily "saddle-shaped". Thus, the characterization of different curvatures, varying between flat, domed, saddled, or cylindrical surfaces, were explored. A mathematical …

Tuzla City (BiH): an example of geohazard induced by salt extraction
… interpretations of the sinking surface, called curvature analysis. The comparison of mapped and predicted fractures leaded to a better comprehension of the problem. Results confirmed the reliability of fractures identification using curvature analysis applied to sinking data instead of …

Seismic Performance of Square Nickel-Titanium Reinforced ECC Columns with Headed Couplers
… data. The models were then used in dynamic analysis to determine the performance of the columns under various earthquake motions. Dynamic analysis showed that SMA/ECC columns can dissipate more energy than steel RC columns due to their higher displacements. Parametric studies were conducted …

Mixed-Phase Solidification of Thin Silicon Films on Silicon Dioxide
… specific rates as determined by the local curvature and local temperature at a point in the solid/liquid interface. By analyzing the cross-sectional profile of solid/liquid interface, we correlate the local curvature of the interface to the solid-Si/SiO2 interfacial energy and the resulting …

Emotional intelligence: coping and well-being amongst higher education academics. Are they related? How are they experienced?
… brings together the findings from the analysis of quantitative and qualitative data. The quantitative aspect of the research included a sample size of 100% (N =533); 45.8% (N = 244) male, with a mean age of 48.78 (SD = 10.9); and 54.2% (N = 289) female, with a mean age of 47.29 (SD = …
