An experimental study is conducted and a theoretical solution is proposed in the present study to investigate the ductile/brittle failure mode of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with an external steel plate.In the present 4 Piece Entertainment Unit with Fireplace experimental study, 6 steel plate-strengthened RC beams and 1 non-strength
Return glider radiosonde for in situ upper-air research measurements
Upper-air balloon soundings for weather predictions have been 4 Piece Entertainment Unit with Fireplace made since the beginning of the 20th century.New radiosonde instruments for in situ humidity-, radiation- and gas-profile measurements in the troposphere and the lower stratosphere, were introduced in recent years for atmospheric research and cli
Power, Struggle and State Crime: Researching through Resistance
Following the commission of state crimes, state officials are in the privileged position of being able to mobilize significant resources to conceal their activities.Laying siege Pop to the fortifications which facilitate denial is a difficult, often dangerous process that can, in general, only be mounted by movements of resistance.Consequently, gen
Nonperiodic Oscillation With Wavelength of Mode Guided in a Special Ti-Diffused $hbox{LiNbO}_{3}$ Waveguide Structure
We report an abnormal waveguiding phenomenon that the fundamental mode guided in strip waveguides of a special Ti-diffused LiNbO3 waveguide structure, in Diagnostic Kits which an array of 4and 6-μm-wide strip waveguides is embedded in a planar waveguide, nonperiodically oscillates with the wavelength along the waveguide width direction.The o
Modelling Shot Lengths of Hollywood Motion Pictures with the Dagum Distribution
This paper demonstrates the three-parameter Dagum distribution GINKGO MEMORY CAPS provides a good fit for shot lengths in Hollywood films due to its ability to model a wide range of skewness and kurtosis values and a variety of tail behaviours by virtue of its two shape parameters.The fit of this distribution is better across films in the sample th
