Study on mechanism and influential factors of progressive collapse resistance of base-isolated structure by Bao, Chao, Zhang, Yuhang, Lv, Dahai, Wang, Huxiang, Ma, Xiaotong, Cao, Jixing, Lim, Kar Sing

“…In order to study the progressive collapse mechanism of base-isolated structures, the test study and numerical simulation of the base-isolated structures were carried out based on the vertical Pushover method and analysis of the variation rule of the capacity of the remaining structure and influence mechanism. The isolation bearing failure position, the size of the beam of the seismic isolation layer, the type of the isolation bearing, and the horizontal stiffness of the seismic isolation layer on the capacity of the remaining structure were compared and analyzed. …”

Personnel Formalization and the Enhancement Of Teamwork: A public–private comparison by Chen, Chung-An, Rainey, Hal G.

“…Given that public organizations are structured more formally, public sector employees are more likely to work in teams than their peers in the private sector. The authors test this view by using variables from the National Organization Survey (NOS) data set and find strong statistical support. …”

'Women in an extraordinary time': the transnational network and educational spaces of the Canadian Eiwa Girls' mission schools in 1920s and 1930s Japan by Dugal, A

“…Through network development, physical and intellectual spatial construction, and curriculum and activity design, these historical actors reached outside their institutions to actively connect themselves and their peers with the wider world. In the 1930s, this appears to have been conducted with a sense of urgency. …”

Automated Engineering Design for Reusable Concrete Building Structures by Wongsittikan, Pitipat

“…The Pixelframe structural system [1] was proposed to facilitate the reusability of concrete components by implementing the existing external post-tensioning system in bridge structures and fiber reinforced system to design building beams and columns. This work presents an automated engineering design workflow for Pixelframe, including a engineering mechanics of the system that conforms to ACI 318- 19 [2] and fib Model Code 2010 [3], half-scale tests to verify the preliminary behavior of the system, and a scalable design algorithm for minimum embodied carbon designs. …”

Frequency equations of nonlocal elastic micro/nanobeams with the consideration of the surface effects by Zhao, Haisheng, Zhang, Yao, Lie, Seng Tjhen

“…Three types of boundary conditions, i.e., hinged-hinged, clamped-clamped, and clamped-hinged ends, are examined. For a hinged-hinged beam, an exact and explicit natural frequency equation is derived based on the established mathematical model. …”

Energy gain of wetted-foam implosions with auxiliary heating for inertial fusion studies by Paddock, RW, Li, TS, Kim, E, Lee, JJ, Martin, H, Ruskov, RT, Hughes, S, Rose, SJ, Murphy, CD, Scott, RHH, Bingham, R, Garbett, W, Elisseev, VV, Haines, BM, Zlystra, AB, Campbell, EM, Thomas, CA, Goffrey, T, Arber, TD, Aboushelbaya, R, Von der Leyen, MW, Wang, RHW, James, AA, Ouatu, I, Timmis, R, Howard, S, Atonga, E, Norreys, PA

“…Low convergence ratio implosions (where wetted-foam layers are used to limit capsule convergence, achieving improved robustness to instability growth) and auxiliary heating (where electron beams are used to provide collisionless heating of a hotspot) are two promising techniques that are being explored for inertial fusion energy applications. …”

Artificial Intelligence and the US-China Balance of Power by Chang, Benjamin Angel

“…Finally, the third essay exploits supply chain datasets to assess each side’s ability to bring AI-enabled autonomous weapons to bear in future conventional conflicts. I find that control over the production of advanced AI chips by the United States and allies almost certainly means the United States would better exploit such weapons, if they emerged as decisive in modern warfare, within at least the next ten years. …”
