Flexural buckling behaviour and resistances of circular high strength concrete-filled stainless steel tube columns by He, An, Liang, Yating, Zhao, Ou

“…The assessment results indicated that the design rules, as given in the Australian/New Zealand standard and American specification, lead to many unsafe flexural buckling resistance predictions when used for circular HCFSST columns, while the design rules, as adopted in the European code, result in more safe and reliable design resistances for circular HCFSST columns failing by flexural buckling.…”

Shear response of deep precast/prestressed concrete hollow core slabs subjected to fire by Nguyen, Hang T. N., Tan, Kang-Hai

“…Five fire tests including one heat transfer (subjected to ISO 834 fire) and four structural shear tests (subjected to a non-standard fire curve) were conducted. Data obtained from the experiments were used to investigate shear behavior of deep PCHC slabs in the event of fire and to verify two sequentially-coupled finite element (FE) models simulating thermal and structural responses of deep PCHC slabs subjected to shear and under fire conditions. …”

Analysis of multi-input multi-output transactions in the Bitcoin network by Phetsouvanh, Silivanxay, Datta, Anwitaman, Oggier, Frédérique

“…Structural properties and characteristics of the transac- tion and wallet address networks are computed and compared, through standard tools, but also via the introduction of two novel techniques that provide indicators of mixing-like behaviors: (i) an entropy characterization to detect abnormally uniform inputs and/or outputs, and (ii) a con- nected component analysis of subgraphs formed by only multi-input multi-output transactions (showing cascades of such transactions). …”

The lure of diaspora : diaspora discourse, accented style, and sinophone Malaysian culture by Hee, Wai Siam

“…Ice Kacang Puppy Love’s descriptive framework for Chinese-Malay relations, as in other Sinophone Malaysian films, is not confined to standard ethnic templates. This film not only deconstructs the “master-slave structure” of Chinese-Malay relations found in Ng Kim Chew’s works but also creatively morphs it into a criticism of Sinification discourse and the patriarchy.…”

Learning GANs in simultaneous game using Sinkhorn with positive features by Risman Adnan, Muchlisin Adi Saputra, Junaidillah Fadlil, Ezerman, Martianus Frederic, Muhamad Iqbal, Tjan Basaruddin

“…To solve the minimax optimization in GAN, we put forward a more efficient simultaneous stochastic gradient descent-ascent (SimSGDA) algorithm in place of the standard sequential gradient techniques. Empirical evidence shows that our model, trained using SimSGDA on the DCGAN neural architecture on tiny-coloured Cats and CelebA datasets, converges to stationary points. …”

A faster chemical bath deposition method for SnO2 ETLs in perovskite solar cells by Wong, Zi Sheng

“…Key advantages such as low costs, lightweight, and ability to react to different wavelengths of sunlight, make PSC an attractive counterpart to standard silicon solar cells. Being in development for far less time than silicon solar cells, efficiencies have already been reported to reach above 20 percent, showing further promise in the material. [1] This project aims to provide a comprehensive study on improving reproducibility of PSCs by investigating means to layer the electron transporting layer in the form of tin oxide, in a compact and uniform manner. …”

Block tearing of S700 high strength steel bolted connections: testing, numerical modelling and design by Jiang, Ke, Tan, Kang Hai, Zhao, Ou, Gardner, Leroy

“…On the basis of the test and numerical data, the existing design methods for high strength steel bolted connections susceptible to block tearing, as given in the European code, American Specification and Australian Standard, were evaluated. The evaluation results revealed that all three considered design codes lead to consistent and safe-sided but conservative predictions of the failure loads, due principally to the lack of appropriate consideration of the location and area of the shear failure plane. …”
