Thermodynamics of complexity and pattern manipulation by Vedral, Vlatko, Gu, Mile, Garner, Andrew J. P., Thompson, Jayne

“…Here, we propose a framework to describe pattern manipulators—devices that convert thermodynamic work to patterns or vice versa—and use them to build a “pattern engine” that facilitates a thermodynamic cycle of pattern creation and consumption. We show that the least heat dissipation is achieved by the provably simplest devices, the ones that exhibit desired operational behavior while maintaining the least internal memory. …”

Design of slender concrete column using chinese design code GB50010-2010 by Chen, Qiaofen

“…Data analyses reveal that loading capacity of slender column decreases with the increase of e/h, and the reduction of strength tends to be lesser for higher e/h; slender column tends to have less loading capacity with the increase of L/h, and the reduction of strength is lesser for high L/h; slender concrete column can be strengthened by installing more reinforcements, i.e. higher percentage of reinforcement; last but not least, use of higher strength concrete and steel result in a stronger slender concrete column. …”
