Variation of Ground Acceleration with Increase in Lateral Distance
Abstract: Ground acceleration induced by dynamic loading decreases with increasing lateral distance from the source because of wave attenuation and energy dissipation through the ground. Accurate estimation of ground acceleration at different distances is essential for evaluating the safety and performance of nearby structures, particularly in blasting, seismic, and heavy construction activities. This study presents a simplified linear attenuation model for estimating ground acceleration at greater lateral distances using limited measured …

Advancing EEG Technology for Affordable and Effective Epilepsy Detection
Abstract: For a proper diagnosis and prompt treatment, epilepsy, a neurological condition marked by recurring seizures, needs to be continuously monitored. Manual interpretation is frequently used in traditional approaches for identifying epileptic seizures from electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, which can be laborious and error-prone. In this research, a novel method for automatically detecting epilepsy from EEG data using deep learning algorithms is presented. According to centers for disease control and prevention (CDC) …

Review of Diagrid and Conventional Frame Systems for Modern Building Design
Abstract: The demand for high-rise buildings in modern cities has accelerated the development of structural systems that balance safety, efficiency, and architectural innovation. Conventional moment-resisting frames, though widely adopted, often become inefficient in tall structures due to higher material consumption and greater lateral displacements under seismic and wind loading. Diagrid systems, defined by their diagonally inclined members forming triangulated grids, provide an alternative approach with enhanced lateral stiffness, reduced drift, and …

Study on the Response of Strengthening Strategies for Masonry-Infilled Open Ground Storey Framed Building
Abstract: The strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings with masonry-infill wall and with open ground storey is a very timely and significant topic because of the poor performance against seismic action. The absence of infill walls in the ground storey makes the ground storey less stiff and weaker than the all upper story’s which results in a poor performance against lateral loads. Soft storey mechanism prevails in these cases and …

A Review on Mining Induced Earthquake
Abstract: Seismicity in mines, in general, depends on depth, production rate, mining geometry and geological discontinuities such as dykes, faults etc. Induced earthquakes differ from normal earthquakes in that they have occurred prematurely due to an external trigger. Except for much of the micro seismicity, the virgin state of stress in the Earth’s crust depends on, among other factors, gravity and tectonics. In, or near, a mine the stress state is …

Combination of Nanomaterials and Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Effective Treatment of Epilepsy
Abstract: Around 50 million people across the world are affected due to epilepsy. One of the most common symptoms of epilepsy is seizures which is usually controlled by administering anti-epileptic drugs. But these drugs fail to control seizures for a long period of time as they do not change the underlying physiological conditions of the brain. Therefore, it is very important to alter the biological mechanism that causes seizures. This can …

STRUCTURAL BEHAVIOR OF FLEXIBLE AND SEMI-RIGID BEAM-COLUMN JOINT CONNECTIONS BY FEM
Abstract: This study investigates the structural behavior of flexible and semi-rigid beam-column joint connections in cold-formed steel (CFS) structures, focusing on the use of Finite Element Modeling (FEM) to simulate their performance under various loading conditions. Traditional analysis methods often oversimplify beam-column connections, treating them as either perfectly rigid or fully flexible, which does not accurately capture real-world joint behavior. In reality, many beam-column joints exhibit semi-rigid characteristics, where the stiffness …

Elementary Mechanisms and Therapeutic Approaches for Epilepsy: A Neurodegenerative Impairment
Abstract: The main reason of the epilepsy is both genetic as well as acquired sources. Conventionally developed origins comprise thoughtful brain trauma and difficulties consequential from aforementioned infection. Mostly, the reason of epilepsy is not clear. Seizures may also transpire as a moment of additional health complications, like stroke, head injury, toxic assimilation, or metabolic delinquent. Epilepsy is treacherous when seizure befalls throughout pregnancy. Convinced anti-epileptic medicines upsurge the jeopardy of …
