Abstract Most papers in the literature address reliability analysis of isolated elements, like beams and columns.However, symmetry and regularity are often exploited in the construction of regular RC frames, resulting in the same or similar designs for all columns of a floor or all beams of a building.This leads to significant differences in member
Achieving Food Security and ending hunger in Africa have been identified as necessary for attaining sustainable growth and development.On the other hand, physical infrastructural development has been documented to have a strong impact on global food security.This study investigates the nexus between physical Infrastructure, including transport, ele
Numerical Relativity is a multidisciplinary field including relativity, Washington magneto-hydrodynamics, astrophysics and computational methods, among others, with the aim of solving numerically highly-dynamical, strong-gravity scenarios where no other approximations are available.Here we describe some of the foundations of the field, starting fro
Top-down observational constraints on emissions flux estimates from satellite observations of chemical composition are subject to biases and errors stemming from transport, chemistry and prior emissions estimates.In this context, we developed an ensemble data assimilation system to optimize the initial conditions for carbon monoxide (CO) and aeroso
This study examines the impact of mobile learning, social media engagement, and artificial intelligence on academic performance in higher education, based on a theoretical model that includes ubiquitous access, interactivity, information sharing, collaborative learning, motivation, personalized learning, student support, and automation.Employing qu
