Behavior of Weathering Steel in Artificial Harsh Environment.

The safety and durability of engineering structures, like bridges, which are designed from weathering steels, are conditioned by the development of a sufficiently protective layer of corrosion products. Air pollution, the microclimate around the bridge, the time of wetness, the structural solution of the bridge, and the position and orientation of the surface within the bridge structure all influence the development of protective layers on the surface of the weathering steel. The condition of the formed patina relies on the working conditions of the structure.

Steel ribbed dome structural performance with different node connections and bracing system.

The conventional design of steel structure objects relies on a first-order elastic analysis, where the entire object is treated as a set of individual structural elements requiring time-consuming, semi-empirical design calculations. Such an approach leads to inefficient design time and excessive material consumption and may additionally result in designing on the verge of structural safety. The AEC sector's technological and digitization advancement process forces designers to use advanced design methods.

Analysis of the Possibility of Using Cenospheres in the Production of Cement Mortars for Use in an Elevated Temperature Environment.

The topic of research included in this article was the evaluation of the influence of cenospheres on selected parameters of mortar cement. Samples were designed as CEM I 42.5 R Portland cement with the application of different additive amounts.

Vibration Energy Signal Information for Measure Dynamic Preferences of Ceramic Building Materials Using Experimental Modal Analysis Methodology.

Building constructions and their elements must meet requirements related to stability and strength. These are the conditions that determine the safety of the structure during both construction and operation. Safety assessment is based on diagnostic tests, aimed at checking the quality of the erected objects or locating damage to structural elements that arise during operation.

The Use of Modal Analysis in Addition Percentage Differentiation, and Mechanical Properties of Ordinary Concretes with the Addition of Fly Ash from Sewage Sludge.

Production cost reduction and constraints on natural resources cause the use of waste materials as substitutes of traditional raw materials to become increasingly important. The dynamic development of sewerage systems and sewage treatment plants leads to increases in the produced sewage sludge. According to the Waste Law, municipal sewage sludge can be used if it is properly stabilized.

An adaptive phase-locking insight to unravel mRNAs synchrony from microarray experiments.

A bulk mRNA expression time course can slow or advance modulating in phase the averaged expression of each gene within the cell-cycle. This is also a synchronism induced at the cycle start to recognize periodic genes. Consistent with the above, a novel adaptive phase-locking insight into microarray experiment is provided.

Insight into DNA periodicity by a single-channel sequence data approach.

It has not been obvious how to map a genomic sequence into the numbers to elucidate its periodicities by digital signal processing (DSP) in accord with the underlying biology [1]. The well known DNA spectra and their extensions appear the A-T-C-G--base-wise by Fourier (FT), wavelet (WT) or related transforms of the indicatory functions (IF-s) of these bases. The IF assumes either 1-in the presence or 0-in the absence of the indicated base in sequence.

Is DNA code periodicity only due to CUF-codons usage frequency?

The triplet code for proteins and functional RNA has been either from the universal pattern of ancient RNA (-H1) [1], with a key role of an uneven codon usage frequency (CUF) in the periodic patterns origination, or a reading frame monitoring device (RFMD -H2) [2- 4]. H1 has lately been upheld [1] but in a single sequence sensitive way [1]. Since H1 and H2 are not mutually exclusive [2, 3, 4], a single sequence-wise sensitive approach by a resonant recognition model (RRM) has become the attempt described in this paper to challenge H1 and H2 in eukaryotes case as a novelty.
