Effect of Constituent Units, Type of Interflavan Bond, and Conformation on the Antioxidant Properties of Procyanidin Dimers: A Computational Outlook by Ana María Mendoza-Wilson, René Renato Balandrán-Quintana

“…The objective of this study was to analyze the effect of the constituent units, type of interflavan bond, and conformation on the antioxidant properties of PC dimers including PB3, PB4, PB5, PB6, PB7, and PB8, using the density functional theory (DFT) computational method. The analysis was performed in function of parameters that allow determining the ability of the molecules to transfer or to capture electrons, among which the chemical potential, bond dissociation enthalpy (BDE), gap energy, Fukui indices, and charge distribution of HOMO-LUMO orbitals. …”

Numerical Study of Concentric Brace Equipped with the Eccentric Elements for Strengthening Buildings by Asadullah Attal, Mohammad Ali Kafi

“…To address this imperfection and induce the seismic response of the concentrically braced frames, several methods proposed to optimize the performance of concentric braces as; using ductile connections, incorporating shear dissipators, hydraulic or mechanical dampers, frictional dissipators, and restrained braces to avoid buckling. Therefore, in this study, an innovative geometry of brace-to-frame connection is investigated to enhance the concentric brace's performance. …”
