Passive energy dissipation (PED) devices have been implemented to enhance structural performance by reducing seismically induced structural damage. In this article, metallic dampers are defined to be structural fuses (SF) ...

Mössbauer spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction (in selected samples) have been used to characterize corrosion products on carbon steels after atmospheric exposure to the tropical Panamanian locations of Panama and ...

La responsabilidad civil por daño ambiental toma en consideración los daños sociales, la individualización del sujeto responsable y las dificultades de determinar el monto de la indemnización. La responsabilidad objetiva ...

In the paper vertical movements of resonance hopping robot with one leg and electric drive are considered. Special construction of hopping robot with compensation of losses during flight of the robot allows to employ a ...

The grafting, by chemical adsorption, of molecular 1.10-phenanthroline (OP) onto some Brazilian bentonite (montmorillonites) was studied to improve their adsorptive capacities to remove Cu ions from synthetic wastewater. ...
