Influence of lateral load distribution in estimation of target displacement and capacity demand by pushover analysis

2010

Two simplified adaptive load patterns for conservative estimation of seismic demand in 2D frames by pushover analysis are presented. The influence of load pattern in assessment of target displacement and distribution of demand along the height of the structure is investigated by comparing results of non linear history analysis, and non linear static analysis for eccentric braced frames. Numerical analyses show that the proposed load patterns provide safe estimation of the seismic response more accurately than load patterns proposed by seismic code.

STUDY OF NEW AUTOMOTIVE REAR SUSPENSION MECHANISM

2011

The paper presents firstly an introduction discussing: the problem’s statement emphasizing the actual problem of research of passenger car suspension to improve driving comfort and dynamic of the vehicle movement; aspects regarding the studies of car suspension mechanisms; the paper’s aims and objectives showing that a new configuration of suspension mechanism having in structure mobile frame and an actuator offering some important operational advantages is proposed. After this, the innovative concept is presented. The motions of mechanism elements and actuator and kinematic displacements are largely presented. The simulation using modern software (MSC Patran 2007, MD R2 Nastran and MSC ADA…

Springs-based Simulation for Image Retargeting

2011

In this paper an efficient method for image retargeting is pro- posed. It relies onto a mechanical model based on springs network. Each pixel displacement (compression or expan- sion) is given by the network response, according to the springs stiffness. The properties of the springs are deter- mined as function of the visual relevance of the pixels. Such model does not require any optimization, since its so- lution is obtained simply from a linear system of equations, allowing real-time application even for large images. The approach is fully automatic, though can be improved by interactively providing cues such as geometric constraints and/or manual relevant object labeling. The results pr…

Real-time content-aware image resizing using reduced linear model

2010

In this paper an effective and efficient method for contentaware image resizing is proposed. It is based on the solution of a linear system where each pixel displacement (compression or expansion) is determined in dependence of the visual relevance of the pixel itself. The linear nature of the model allows real-time application of the method even for large images. This fully automatic approach can be also improved by interactively providing cues such as geometric constraints and/or manual relevant object labeling. The results have proven that the presented method achieves results comparable or superior to existent strategies, while improving efficiency.

Fa-atba'a sababan... Dhu-l-qarnayn se déplace.

2017

Parmi les différents récits qui figurent dans la sourate de la Caverne (al-Kahf), celui du voyage de Dhu-l-Qarnayn revêt un intérêt particulier. Contrairement à ce qu'affirment la plupart des exégètes musulmans - qui tantôt tendent à identifier cette figure avec celle historique d'Alexandre le Grand, tantôt préfèrent s'interroger sur les origines de ce personnage - la présente recherche propose une analyse du déplacement de Dhu-l-qarnayn d'un point de vue spécifiquement islamologique, selon lequel ce voyage "au bout du monde" peut être mis en relation avec le mouvement de l'Histoire, qui est haraka hadifa, un "mouvement ayant un but", où l'homme prend place de façon active.

Smoking, health and ageing.

2008

Abstract On March 19, 2008 a Symposium on Pathophysiology of Ageing and Age-Related diseases was held in Palermo, Italy. Here, the lecture of V. Nicita-Mauro on Smoking, health and ageing is summarized. Smoking represents an important ageing accelerator, both directly by triggering ana inflammatory responses, and indirectly by favoring the occurrence of several diseases where smoking is a recognized risk factor. Hence, non-smokers can delay the appearance of diseases and of ageing process, so attaining longevity.

Strategie di manutenzione dei percorsi formativi per alimentare il successo occupazionale dei laureati,

2020

Il presente lavoro, consapevole del dibattito fra percorsi di studio più spendibili nel mercato del lavoro, del perdurare del gap fra Sud e Nord del contesto produttivo e delle evidenze nelle scelte individuali del giovane desideroso di costruirsi una carriera, propone un’analisi descrittiva dei percorsi formativi delle lauree magistrali biennali e a ciclo unico su tutto il territorio nazionale, volta alla identificazione dei fabbisogni di manutenzione dell’offerta formativa, ovvero di una parziale revisione (ad esempio prevedendo l’inserimento di insegnamenti più rispondenti ai bisogni del mercato, anche interdisciplinari, di metodi didattici innovativi per favorire l’apprendimento, ecc.),…
