Among the buildings with strategic role for civil protection purposes part of them were built before the introduction of modern seismic codes.Aiming to guarantee their operability in case of seismic events, they have to be assessed and, hopefully, seismically upgraded.This aspect arises the necessity of reliable low computational demanding numerica
The censorship process during the New Economic Policy Period was rather unbalanced due to the human factor.Up until 1928, certain stages of censoring the manuscript that started with initial reading and resulted in the approving mark on the typographical card, could be omitted, as the case of Saratov author L.A.Slovokhotov illustrates.The study of
This paper presents a comprehensive evaluation of the effect of quasi oppositional - based learning method utilization in output tracking control through a swarm-based multivariable Proportional-Integral-Derivative (SMPID) controller, which is tuned by a novel performance index based on the step response characteristics in multi-input multi-output
Acacia (AG) and cactus gums (CG) were mixed into wheat flour at the 3% and 6% levels.The flour blends were tested for their pasting, dough development, and extensibility behaviors.The blends were used to make cookies, which were then evaluated for their physical, textural, and sensory qualities.Both types of gum reduced the setback viscosities, wat
