Seismic Vulnerability Analysis of Prefabricated Concrete Frame with a Cam-Type Response Amplifying Device of Viscous Damper by Luyao Wei, Huijiao Nie

“…On the basis of the unit library provided by ABAQUS, the secondary development was carried out and the dynamic time history analysis was performed on the solid model of the prefabricated frame structure. We selected the displacement angle between layers as the structural damage index and used the dynamic incremental method to analyze the seismic vulnerability of the uncontrolled structure without the cam-type response amplification device and the added damping structure. …”

VVC coded distortion prediction model based on frame-level transform coefficient modeling of generalized Gaussian distribution by Yiyin GU, Hongkui WANG, Haibin YIN

“…In versatile video coding (VVC), a variety of advanced coding tools work together to achieve excellent coding performance.Compared with high efficient video coding (HEVC), the transform coefficient distribution (TCD) of VVC has sharper peaks.In order to solve this phenomenon, the probability density function (PDF) of frame-level TCD was modeled, and a frame-level coding distortion prediction model based on statistical modeling was proposed, which modeled frame-level distortion as a function of TCD distribution parameters and quantization parameters.The experimental results show that compared with the Laplace distribution and Cauchy distribution, the generalized Gaussian distribution has the best performance in TCD probability density fitting.The prediction results based on the generalized Gaussian distribution distortion prediction model are closest to the actual coding distortion.…”

Characteristic Properties of Type-2 Smarandache Ruled Surfaces According to the Type-2 Bishop Frame in E3 by Ibrahim Al-Dayel, E. M. Solouma

“…In this paper, we define and investigate a special kind of ruled surfaces called type-2 Smarandache ruled surfaces related to the type-2 Bishop frame in E3. From this point and depending on the type-2 Bishop curvature, we provide the necessary and sufficient conditions that allow these surfaces to be developable in a minimal amount of time. …”

How French culture influences the framing of genetic modifications on the internet: Insights from Google-based corpus analysis. by Anaïs Degache, Séverine Louvel, Stéphanie Abrial, Virginie Tournay

“…We use two datasets obtained using Google as a privileged observation site for understanding how debates regarding genetic engineering are framed in global and local contexts. While the English-language corpus brings to the fore the framing of GM products in terms of economic value, the French-language corpus is characterized by the strong association of such products with matters relating to risk. …”
