Should frames with diagonal bracing or rigid shear walls be used, the columns will be prevented from sidesway and provided with some rotational restraint at their ends For these situations, as illustrated below, the -factors will fall somewhere between cases (a) and (d) of Table C-C2 1 The LRFD Specification C2 states that should be used for columns in frames with sidesway inhibited unless
- Transition challenges for alternative fuel vehicles and transportation . . .
Abstract Automakers are now developing alternatives to internal combustion engines (ICE), including hydrogen fuel cells and ICE-electric hybrids Adoption dynamics for alternative vehicles are complex due to the size and importance of the auto industry and vehicle fleet Diffusion of alternative vehicles is both enabled and constrained by powerful positive feedbacks arising from scale and
- 4. 3 Features of reversible processes - MIT
4 3 Features of reversible processes [VW, S B: 6 3-6 4] Reversible processes are idealizations or models of real processes One familiar and widely used example is Bernoulli's equation, which you saw in Unified They are extremely useful for defining limits to system or device behavior, for enabling identification of areas in which inefficiencies occur, and in giving targets for design An
- Principles of Macroeconomics
Macroeconomics? Micro-economics: individual markets effects are limited to that market Macro-economics: aggregate: sum of markets plus cross effects GDP, U, Inflation Too complex => Take shortcuts => Art Ambitious! Too much? Not at this level Style Basic structure (book) + current events Level: Read and find mistakes in “technical” news Discuss news frequently “In the News” (Bloomberg
- Isolation of Angiopoietin-1, a Ligand for the TIE2 Receptor, by . . .
TIE2 is a receptor-like tyrosine kinase expressed al-most exclusively in endothelial cells and early hemo-poietic cells and required for the normal development of vascular structures during embryogenesis We re-port the identification of a secreted ligand for TIE2, termed Angiopoietin-1, using a novel expression clon-ing technique that involves intracellular trapping and detection of the
- The Ends of the Body: Commodity Fetishism and the Global Traffic in Organs
Johan Brink, of Goorte-Schuur hospital at the Uni- versity of Cape Town, South Africa, and currently head of the South African Transplanta- tion Society, explained that during the apartheid years, transplant professionals sim- ply took the organs they needed from the bodies of black, brain dead patients in the Intensive Care Unit without
- The Taste of Carbonation Jayaram Chandrashekar, et al. Science . . . - MIT
Carbonated beverages are commonly available and immensely popular, but little is known about the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the perception of carbonation in the mouth In mammals, carbonation elicits both somatosensory and chemosensory responses, including activation of taste neurons We have identified the cellular and molecular substrates for the taste of carbonation By
