Displacement-based seismic design of symmetric single-storey wood-frame buildings with the aid of the N2 method

This paper presents a new methodology for the displacement-based seismic design of symmetric single-storey wood-frame buildings. Previous displacement-based design efforts were based on the direct displacement-based design approach, which uses a substitute ...

Verification methodology for plasma simulations and application to a scrape-off layer turbulence code

Paolo Ricci, Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Sébastien Jolliet, Federico David Halpern, Fabio Riva, Annamaria Mosetto

Bridging the gap between plasma physics and other scientific domains, in particular, the computational fluid dynamics community, a general, rigorous, and simple-to-apply methodology is presented for both the verification of the correct implementation of th ...

Coupled Approach to Assess Caprock Deformation Caused by CO2 Injection

Lyesse Laloui, Chao Li

This study focuses on a specific problem related to the caprock deformation induced by the injection of CO2 at depth. The adopted methodology includes the development of a mathematical model that incorporates the deformable behaviour of storage media and t ...

Design Analysis - Contextual Architecture with Landscape Methods

Matthew Skjonsberg

This paper describes the contextual analysis of architecture with landscape methods as both design and teaching methodology. The methodology applies our understanding of research as design and design as research, and involves the evaluation of landscape ar ...

New developments in rock fall hazard assessment and zoning: an application of the Cadanav methodology

Vincent Labiouse, Jacopo Maria Abbruzzese

Rock fall hazard assessment and zoning are very important for an appropriate land use planning in mountainous areas. However, they are complex topics, and current methodologies adopted for producing zoning maps do not provide satisfactory results, due to a ...

For an "Observatory of Modern and Contemporary National Heritage" - From the Material History of Building to the Material History of Preservation

Franz Graf, Giulia Marino

A project without memory is an amputated project: history must be considered both as a methodological basis and as a veritable tool for work. Underlying all intervention existent, extensive historical and material knowledge of what is built must guide the ...

A direct comparison of unconscious face processing under masking and interocular suppression

Nathan Quentin Faivre, Julien Dubois

Different combinations of forward and backward masking as well as interocular suppression have been used extensively to render stimuli invisible and to study those aspects of visual stimuli that are processed in the absence of conscious experience. Althoug ...

EEG-fMRI integration for the study of human brain function

Wietske Van der Zwaag, João Pedro Forjaco Jorge, Patricia Figueiredo

Electroencephalography (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have proved to be extremely valuable tools for the non-invasive study of human brain function. Moreover, due to a notable degree of complementarity between the two modalities, th ...

The nature of vertical excited states of dyes containing metals for DSSC applications: insights from TD-DFT and density based indexes

Eric Albert Georges Bremond

Transition metal complexes, typically Ru-based complexes, are the most efficient dyes used in dye-sensitized solar cells. The absorption spectra of these molecules generally involve numerous electronic transitions, which are not equivalent for the conversi ...
