Abstract: ETABS Stand for Extended Three-Dimensional Analysis of Building systems. ETABS integrates every aspect of the engineering design process. In the present situations of construction industry, the buildings that are being constructed are gaining significance, in general those with the best possible outcomes which are referred to members like beams and columns in multi storeys R.C structures. This paper deals with the seismic analysis of regular B+G+26 story building with shear wall and G+B+10 Story building with different irregular shapes considering different shapes of shear wall at different locations has been carried out. Which can be done in ETABS taking all the considerations regarding codes and other factors into account. All the buildings were analyzed with the same method as stated in IS 1893-Part-1:2016. The effect of shear walls on lateral capacity of the building are examined because the seismic analysis of a frame depends upon the location and symmetry of shear wall. Present study shows the shear wall improves not only the lateral stiffness and strength capacity but also the displacement capacity of structure. Comparison of results been done of different models by comparing the parameters such as story drift, story displacement, story stiffness and base reaction. Therefore, as far as possible irregularities in a building must be avoided. But, if irregularities have to be introduced for any reason, they must be designed properly following the conditions of IS 13920:1993. The complex shaped buildings are now days getting popular, but they carry a risk of sustaining damages during earthquakes.

Generating high-quality panorama is a key element in promoting the development of VR content. The panoramas generated by the traditional image stitching algorithm have some limitations, such as artifacts and irregular shapes. We consider solving this problem from the perspective of view synthesis. We propose a view synthesis approach based on optical flow to generate a high-quality omnidirectional panorama. In the first stage, we present a novel optical flow estimation algorithm to establish a dense correspondence between the overlapping areas of the left and right views. The result obtained can be approximated as the parallax of the scene. In the second stage, the reconstructed version of the left and the right views is generated by warping the pixels under the guidance of optical flow, and the alpha blending algorithm is used to synthesize the final novel view. Experimental results demonstrate that the subjective experience obtained by our approach is better than the comparison algorithm without cracks or artifacts. Besides the commonly used image quality assessment PSNR and SSIM, we also calculate MP-PSNR, which can provide accurate high-quality predictions for synthesized views. Our approach can achieve an improvement of about 1 dB in MP-PSNR and PSNR and 25% in SSIM, respectively.

Abstract Phonon transfer in irregular shapes is important for assessing the influence of shape effect on thermal transport characteristics of low-scale films. It becomes critical for evaluating the contribution of the scattering phonons to the phonon intensity distribution inside the film. Hence, the sub-continuum ballistic-diffusive model is incorporated to formulate the phonon transport in an irregular geometry of low-size film adopting the transient, frequency-independent, equation of phonon radiative transfer. The discrete ordinate method is used in the numerical discretization of the governing transport equation. It is demonstrated that the geometric feature of the film influences the phonon intensity distribution within the film material. The transport characteristics obtained from the Fourier and the ballistic-diffusive models are markedly different in their spatial and temporal behavior. This is true when the device sizes are of the same order of magnitude as the mean-free path of the heat carriers.

Abstract Acetone commonly exists in daily life and is harmful to human health, therefore the convenient and sensitive monitoring of acetone is highly desired. In addition, flexible sensors have the advantages of light-weight, conformal attachable to irregular shapes, etc. In this study, we fabricated high performance flexible silicon nanowires (SiNWs) sensor for acetone detection by transferring the monocrystalline Si film and metal-assisted chemical etching method on polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The SiNWs sensor enabled detection of gaseous acetone with a concentration as low as 0.1 parts per million (ppm) at flat and bending states. The flexible SiNWs sensor was compatible with the CMOS process and exhibited good sensitivity, selectivity and repeatability for acetone detection at room temperature. The flexible sensor showed performance improvement under mechanical bending condition and the underlying mechanism was discussed. The results demonstrated the good potential of the flexible SiNWs sensor for the applications of wearable devices in environmental safety, food quality, and healthcare.

This study aims to produce a product in the form of a medium for measuring the volume of irregularly shaped objects, made from used drink containers. The type of media developed is in the form of practical aids. This research includes development research known as Research and Development. During the limited face-to-face learning period (PTMT) the learning process must be designed as effectively as possible, because students study at school for only about 4 hours, without rest. The existence of practical aids is very helpful for students' understanding of the concepts explained by the teacher, but not all schools have laboratory equipment that is proportional to the number of students. To overcome this problem, a solution is given to develop a practical tool made from used drink containers for measuring the volume of irregularly shaped objects. Before the practical aids were tested, they were validated by material experts and material experts.

Leaf ontogenesis is determinant for the establishment and regulation of its structural and functional properties, in addition to being an excellent tool for assignment to different groups of angiosperms. Even though the importance of leaf morphology and anatomy for taxonomic use is well known, few studies have addressed the processes of leaf ontogeny in Melastomataceae. Herein, we sought to define the ontogenetic steps of leaf of Trembleya phlogiformis, highlighting the indumentum, to understand the main functional traits. Shoot apex, young and fully expanded leaves were processed by usual light microscopy procedures. At the first node, leaf primordia are densely covered with trichomes and emergences. The adaxial layer of ground meristem gives rise to the palisade parenchyma, the procambium originates from median layers of ground meristem and the spongy parenchyma develops from abaxial layers of ground meristem. The differentiation of isobilateral mesophyll on leaves of T. phlogiformis, a common feature in Microlicieae, comes from ground meristem stratification. However, T. phlogiformis stands out by showing in the leaf mature spongy parenchyma cells with irregular shapes. The leaf ontogeny reveals distinct mechanisms of cell differentiation and may be important for the establishment of functional adaptive traits.

We consider spatio-temporal data and functional data with spatial dependence, characterized by complicated missing data patterns. We propose a new method capable to efficiently handle these data structures, including the case where data are missing over large portions of the spatio-temporal domain. The method is based on regression with partial differential equation regularization. The proposed model can accurately deal with data scattered over domains with irregular shapes and can accurately estimate fields exhibiting complicated local features. We demonstrate the consistency and asymptotic normality of the estimators. Moreover, we illustrate the good performances of the method in simulations studies, considering different missing data scenarios, from sparse data to more challenging scenarios where the data are missing over large portions of the spatial and temporal domains and the missing data are clustered in space and/or in time. The proposed method is compared to competing techniques, considering predictive accuracy and uncertainty quantification measures. Finally, we show an application to the analysis of lake surface water temperature data, that further illustrates the ability of the method to handle data featuring complicated patterns of missingness and highlights its potentiality for environmental studies.

Abstract In this research work several high rise buildings were analyzed using CSI ETABS under the influence of the response spectrum analysis over it. Several different shaped high rise buildings such as H shaped, O shaped and C shaped buildings were taken into consideration for carrying out the research work. All three shaped buildings were of different storey that is of 12 storey and of 16 storey. For proper seismic analysis of all the above discussed buildings, response spectrum method of seismic analysis were taken into consideration. The results of all the buildings for response spectrum analysis were quite different from one another and it was found that the H-shaped building showed better results as compared to the other shaped buildings. It was also seen that the 12 storey building results were quite impressive as compared to the results of the 16 storey building. With the transference of heavy mass, very little effect was seen in latera sway i.e. variation in maximum displacement was negligible. Again, for 16 storey building, maximum displacement was found in the case L-Shaped 16 storey building with the value of 87.804 mm. Again, the transference of heavy masses had a minimal effect on total quantity and cost of the 16 Storey building. In the gist, it was concluded that, bending moments and shear forces were increased from 1.17% to 1.84%. Maximum variation in B.M and S.F. can be seen in O-shaped Building. L-shaped Building produces maximum displacement from all the three irregular shapes i.e. H-shape, L-shaped and O-shaped.

Abstract BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The utility of non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) markers in the prognosis of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) has been concerned. This study aimed to investigate the predictive value of the computed tomography irregularity shape for poor functional outcomes in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. PATIENTS AND Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all 782 patients with intracranial hemorrhage in our stroke emergency center from January 2018 to September 2019. Laboratory examination and CT examination were measured within 24 hours of admission. After three months, the patient's functional outcome was assessed using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS). Multinomial logistic regression analyses were applied to identify independent predictors of functional outcome in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage. RESULTS Out of the 627 patients included in this study, those with irregular shapes on CT imaging had a higher proportion of poor outcome and mortality 90 days after discharge (P<0.001). Irregular shapes were found to be significant independent predictors of poor outcome and mortality on multiple logistic regression analysis. Besides, the increase of plasma D-dimer was associated with the occurrence of irregular shape (P=0.0387). CONCLUSIONS Patients with irregular shape showed worse functional outcomes after intracerebral hemorrhage. The elevated expression level of plasma D-dimer may be directly related to the formation of irregular shapes.
