He brought the outside environment literally into Fallingwater. The four beams known as the cantilevered terraces expand the first floor out over the stream making the viewer think they are actually close enough to the waterfall and are able to hear and see up close and personal the environment surrounding the house but they

susceptible to large lateral displacements during severe earthquake ground motions‚ and require special attention to limit damage to nonstructural elements as well as to avoid problems associated with P-∆ effects and brittle or ductile fracture of beam to column connections [FEMA‚ 2000]. As a consequence‚ engineers in the US have increasingly turned to concentrically braced steel frames as an economical means for resisting earthquake loads. However‚ damage to concentrically braced frames in past

1. INTRODUCTION Nanotechnology is a field whose theme is the control of matter on an atomic and molecular scale‚ nanotechnology deals with structures of the size 100 nanometers or smaller. Nanotechnology is extremely diverse ranging from novel extensions of conventional device physics. Nanogenerator is a prototype nanometer-scale generator that produces continuous direct-current electricity by harvesting mechanical energy from such environmental sources as ultrasonic waves‚ mechanical

A telecommunication signal disrupts a signal in an adjacent circuit and can cause the signals to become confused and cross over each other 2. Waveguides: A circular‚ elliptical or rectangular metal tube or pipe through which electromagnetic waves are propagated in microwave and RF communications. The wave passing through the medium is forced to follow the path determined
