is carried out. Three categories of recorded earthquake excitation are used for input. The effect of impact is studied using linear and nonlinear contact force model for different separation distances and compared with nominal model without pounding consideration. Pounding produces acceleration and shear at various story levels that are greater than those obtained from the no pounding case‚ while the peak drift depends on the input excitation characteristics. Also‚ increasing gap width is likely to

risks. While exporting would eventually allow for economies of scale (seen in the estimated 20% reduction of production cost annually)‚ expanding internationally with the flexible coupling will allow for an economies of scope with Cameron’s spread out assets. If profits are expected to increase with the flexible coupling‚ there is no reason to believe that meeting McTaggart’s demand first and then later investing in a new plant isn’t possible. 2. Was McTaggart a good choice for licensee?

ABSTRACT This project focuses on the development of a web based attendance register system‚ called mobile student attendance monitor. This project is motivated due to the fact that the student’s attendance record is the most important element which can reflect their academic achievement in the institutions. Mostly‚ the attendance register is circulated in the lecture rooms by the lecturers. This is a very time consuming method and not ideal for a large number of students in a big lecture hall.

I. Introduction a. Back ground of the Study Triac The TRIAC is a three terminal semiconductor device for controlling current. It gains its name from the term TRIode for AlternatingCurrent. It is effectively a development of the SCR or thyristor‚ but unlike the thyristor which is only able to conduct in one direction‚ the TRIAC is a bidirectional device. TRIAC The TRIAC is an ideal device to use for AC switching applications because it can control the current flow over both halves of

imbalances between the brain’s excitation and inhibition. The neurons interconnect in a complicated network where every neuron is connected through the synapses with numerous others. As a result‚ small electrical currents are discharged by the neurons in a bid to discharge neurotransmitters of the synaptic degree to allow communication with one another. Numerous neuromodulators or neurotransmitters are established to have a responsibility in the neuronal excitation. Nonetheless‚ the main excitatory

aggression model ■ Abstract Research on human aggression has progressed to a point at which a unifying framework is needed. Major domain-limited theories of aggression include cognitive neoassociation‚ social learning‚ social interaction‚ script‚ and excitation trans-fer theories. Using the general aggression model (GAM)‚ this review posits cognition‚ affect‚ and arousal to mediate the effects of situational and personological variables on aggression. The review also organizes recent theories of the development

composites‚ which are used in dentistry‚ are compounds composed of three separate agents that act together to form a rigid polymer. The three agents that act together to form the polymer include‚ an organic resin matrix‚ inorganic filler‚ and a coupling agent. The most important agent‚ the organic resin matrix‚ is typically composed of a compound referred as bis-GMA‚ or bisphenol A glycidyl methacrylate. This aromatic methacrylate is considered to be a rigid polymer because of the benzene rings

CONCEPT OF WIRELESS ELECTRICITY (Wi-Tricity) Our forefathers marveled at the invention of glowing light bulbs by Thomas Edison in 1879. However‚ to us 21st centurions‚ the light bulb is nothing out of the ordinary. When computers‚ cell phones‚ laptops‚ iPods‚ etc. were invented our antennas tweaked. Now this is what you call invention! However‚ as time’s progressing we are getting used to these devices. In fact‚ charging all these appliances has become so very cumbersome. Each appliance has its
