Comparative Dynamic Seismic Analyses of RC Minarets Strengthened with FRP and Buttresses by Erdem Türkeli

“…Also, soil-structure interaction (SSI) is included in the dynamic seismic analyses of the minarets as proposed by Burman et al. (2012). At the end of the analyses performed, it was determined that FRP strengthening is more effective in enhancing the seismic response of RC minarets as the height of the minaret increases when compared with the buttress strengthening. …”

Lie symmetries, closed-form solutions, and conservation laws of a constitutive equation modeling stress in elastic materials by Rehana Naz, Willy Hereman

“…The partial differential equation (PDE), which involves a power law with arbitrary exponent n, was investigated by Mason and his collaborators (Magan et al., 2018). The Lie algebra for the model is five-dimensional for the shearing exponent n>0, and it includes translations in time, space, and displacement, as well as time-dependent changes in displacement and a scaling symmetry. …”

Antibiotic cycling versus mixing: The difficulty of using mathematicalmodels to definitively quantify their relative merits by Robert E. Beardmore, Rafael Peña-Miller

“…As a result, we agree with the tenet of Bonhoefer et al. [1] that one should not apply the results of [2] to conclude that an antibiotic cycling policy that implements cycles of drug restriction and prioritisation on an ad-hoc basis can select against drug-resistant microbial pathogens in a clinical setting any better than random drug use. …”

A new approach towards SME’s consideration by Kostis C. Koutsopoulos

“…The literature (Peters and Waterman, 1982; Amini, 2004; Radam et al.,2008) has attempted to answer these concerns, but the BALANCE project’s (Green and Stable -Bringing Sustainability and Environmental Action Together for Better Future) research has shown that nowadays such justifications cannot be accepted, because the failure to address these issues lies on the inability of the traditional approach (exclusive economic) in describing, and analyzing them. …”
