Repair Method of Damaged Steel Framed Structures and Ultimate Seismic State of Repaired Steel Frames

In Japan, a lot of building and infrastructure have been experienced severe earthquake disaster since the dawn of history. Recently, there are many discussions about repairability and recovery for these damaged building structures, in particular, after 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. There has been focused on the new keyword “Resilience”, which presents therevival potential or function maintenance of damaged structures and Bruneau and Reinhorn have mentioned the concept of structural resilience, and high resilience system is as follows:reduced failure probabilities,reduced consequences from failures, in terms of lives lost, damage, and negative economic and social consequences,reduced time to recovery.

The technical guideline has been published to repair the various kinds of structures in Japan. Particularly for steel structures, it suggests a repairing method based on the past experimental researches, however the number of such past researches was restricted. And also, few past research on repairability and recovery of steel structures limit to Japan have been conducted.

The Impression of Enclosure in Persian Garden Design

Iranian garden design it’s often a mixture of architectural style, the garden style in Iran is proportionate to climate and water condition. For Iranian, Persian gardens are a part of Iranian culture. The people of Iran have always desired to have a symbol of the heavens referred to as the paradise represented by the way they have structured their gardens. The gardens have remained green throughout the seasons despite the little watertapped from the melting snow on top of the mountains streaming down the valley. What has fascinated most is the art of creating the gardens in conceptual patterns. There are small gardens owned mostly by individuals or a family and due to an inadequate supply of water, they are unable to transform into plantations.

This research, followed by a description of the process used to develop the survey questionnaire. The purposes of having a pilot studyand the discussion of the results. Further, this Section describes the datacollection.Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) analyzes encompass two major stages, the measurement model or confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and the structural equation model.

Using the Organizational Diagram for the Study of Digital Cities Management

A Digital city can be seen as an interactive environment, where people have their activities and can exchange information including municipal managers. Another component of the digital city is the cyberspace, which is a physical environment that can house some elements as radio waves and TV signal and Internet. Digital city goes beyond the use of information servicesas it allows the integration of this information with everyday situations ofthe user of these services. The deployment of digital strategic services, requires the inclusion in the municipal strategic planning (EMP) and in the planning of information technology (PTI), covering the forecast of human, financial and material resources (Raj 2012).

In the implementation of a digital city ‘s system , apart from the physical and structural aspects, it is important the study of how itwill be used and evaluated by the user of the system, which is the financial supporter of all expenses throughout their contributions through taxes and fees.

Automatic Wheeze Detection System as Symptoms of Asthma Using Spectral Power Analysis

In Nineteen Century Laennec noticed that respiratory sound generated by the lungs during inspiration and expiration contains information about respiratory diseases who also invented the relationship between human respiratory diseases and respiratory auscultation. He theninvented stethoscope in 1921 which enabled physicians to listen to respiratorysounds of their patients and detect any symptomatic signs. Wheeze to occur as symptoms of respiratory diseases result of airway obstruction and flow limitation at critical flow rates in frequency range between 100 Hz to above 1000 Hz. It is present dominantly during expiration and it lasts from 80 – 250 ms. 

Wheezing is not associated with asthma only, but to other pulmonary pathology such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchiolitis. For diagnosis the asthmatic patient physician normally used stethoscope as itis conventional method. But auscultation using stethoscope is subjective method and it is high possibility of false diagnosis because it need well trained physician to recognize abnormalities and ability to differentiate between the sound patterns. As day to day increasing number of asthmatic patients there is a need of automatic monitoring of the wheeze to assist the physicians in diagnosing and monitoring the patient.
