Mapping cropland and characterizing their surface vegetation cover for major crops growingrnin the region over time and space is an essential input to many applications including, naturalrnresources assessment, food security monitoring and economics of land use practices. For suchrnapplications,...
Background: Pain is a sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage,rnor described in terms of such damage according to Association of the Study of Pain. Althoughrnadvances in medical science, poor post-operative pain management exists in developed...
From recent earthquake experiences, buildings with structural walls do have satisfactoryrnperformance against collapse. However, this is not always true for dual structures composedrnof both structural walls and frames resisting seismic actions. This begs for a detailed study onrnthe performance of...
Lifeline systems are intricately linked with the economic well-being, security, and socialrnfabric of the communities they serve. When earthquakes or other hazards strike lifelinernsystems, they disrupt the flow of resources and provision of services that sustainrncommunities. rnMany Lifeline...
Construction of vertical geometric irregular buildings is very common due to space,rnarchitectural and functional constraints. This paper is concerned with the behaviour ofrnvarious vertical geometrical irregularities of symmetric and asymmetric setback byrndifferent types of bracing. For this...
