Relevance Vector Machines for Earthquake Response Spectra drboon
This study uses Relevance Vector Machine (RVM) regression to develop a probabilistic model for the average horizontal component of 5%-damped earthquake response spectra. Unlike conventional models, the proposed approach does not require a functional form, and constructs the model based on a set predictive variables and a set of representative ground motion records. The RVM uses Bayesian inference to determine the confidence intervals, instead of estimating them from the mean squared errors on the training set. An example application using three predictive variables (magnitude, distance and fault mechanism) is presented for sites with shear wave velocities ranging from 450 m/s to 900 m/s. The predictions from the proposed model are compared to an existing parametric model. The results demonstrate the validity of the proposed model, and suggest that it can be used as an alternative to the conventional ground motion models. Future studies will investigate the effect of additional predictive variables on the predictive performance of the model.

Development of FPGA based Dual Axis Solar Tracking Systemdrboon
Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) meet critical timing and performance requirements with parallel processing and real-time control application performance, allowing greater system integration and lower development cost. This paper describes a dual axis solar tracking system is based on astronomical equations. The position of sun at anytime is a function of azimuth and altitude angle values. Azimuth and altitude angle values are collected off line. The prototype of dual axis solar tracking system is developed on FPGA to implement the proposed idea. The system comprises of digital clock module, rise time module and two pulses generator modules. Pulse generator modules employ Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technique for controlling two stepper motors for tracking the azimuth and altitude angles. The functionality of various blocks of the system is described in Very High Speed Integrated Circuit (VHSIC) Hardware Description Language (VHDL). The control logic has been successfully implemented on Spartan 3E FPGA device. Xilinx ISE 14.1 suit is used for design entry, synthesis and burning the bit stream file into FPGA device. The functional verification has been performed using Xilinx simulator.

Commuters’ Perception of Legibility and Complexity with Respect to Path Choic...drboon
The effect of environmental factors on walking behavior needs to be considered based on the purpose of walking trip; whether walking for transport or walking for recreational purposes. Since everybody walks on his/her daily transport, studying walking behavior of those who walk for transport would contribute to maintain the minimum rate of physical activity. Commuters are the major group of those who walk for transport. It was found that the path choice of pedestrians can be considered to examine the effects of environmental factors on walking behavior. Introducing two environmental factors of perceived legibility and perceived complexity, it is demonstrated that the theoretical and empirical relationship between these factors and walking behavior as well as the path choice criteria, leads to define these two factors in accordance with commuter’s specifications. Accordingly, both perceived legibility and perceived complexity are two important path choice criteria of commuters in CBD of Kuala Lumpur.
Establishing empirical relations to predict grain size and hardness of pulsed...drboon
SS 304L, an austenitic Chromium-Nickel stainless steel offering the optimum combination of corrosion resistance, strength and ductility, is favorable for many mechanical components. The low carbon content reduces susceptibility to carbide precipitation during welding. In case of single pass welding of thinner section of this alloy, pulsed current micro plasma arc welding was found beneficial due to its advantages over the conventional continuous current process. The paper focuses on developing mathematical models to predict grain size and hardness of pulsed current micro plasma arc welded SS304L joints. Four factors, five level, central composite rotatable design matrix is used to optimize the number of experiments. The mathematical models have been developed by response surface method. The adequacy of the models is checked by ANOVA technique. By using the developed mathematical models, grain size and hardness of the joints can be predicted with 99% confidence level. Contour plots are drawn to study the interaction effect of pulsed current micro plasma arc welding parameters on fusion zone grain size and hardness of SS304L steel.
Cyclic Elastoplastic Large Displacement Analysis and Stability Evaluation of ...drboon
This paper deals with the cyclic elastoplastic large displacement analysis and stability evaluation of steel tubular braces subjected to axial tension and compression. The inelastic cyclic performance of cold-formed steel braces made of circular hollow sections is examined through finite element analysis using the commercial computer program ABAQUS. First some of the most important parameters considered in the practical design and ductility evaluation of steel braces of tubular sections are presented. Then the details of finite element modeling and numerical analysis are described. Later the accuracy of the analytical model employed in the analysis is substantiated by comparing the analytical results with the available test data in the literature. Finally the effects of some important structural and material parameters on cyclic inelastic behavior of steel tubular braces are discussed and evaluated.
Carbon Materials from High Ash Bio-char: A Nanostructure Similar to Activated...drboon
Problem statement: Developing high-value nanostructured carbon from bio-char, for electrical and natural gas energy storage, is critical to improving the economic viability of thermochemical bioenergy and biofuel conversion processes. Approach: Here we show that chemical activation, using potassium or sodium hydroxide as catalysts, converted the biochar of distiller’s dried grains with soluble into activated carbon with high surface area (> 1500 m2/g). Results: The development of porosity by chemical activation using alkali hydroxides depends on type and dosage of activation catalysts; activation temperature and atmosphere conditions. Activated carbon samples with high mesoporous volume ( 1 ml/g), and nanostructure similar to activated graphene were prepared at activation temperature (1050 °C) and KOH loading (0.05 or 0.075 mol/g biochar). Conclusion: This protocol offers the potential to use other protein rich feedstocks for preparing nanostructured carbon, containing nanostructure similar to activated graphene, as an advanced carbon material.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

14. Six friends, and one night out at an abandoned house
they will never forget. A game of spin the bottle
plummets into a desperate struggle for survival, as
someone is killing off the players. They don’t have
long to discover who isn’t playing by the rules.
15. The death of a long lost relative is not the usual occasion to celebrate, but
Faye (Frankie-Rose Taylor) and friends thought the empty house would be
the perfect venue for a teenage thrill. With boyfriend Aaron (George
Sceats), the flirtatious Rachel (Theresa Jones) and submissive best friend
Alice (Sonia Naqvi), Faye arrives at Kyle (Magne D’Mellow) and Lacey’s
(Michaella Ashley) house party.
After dancing, drinking and romancing, the friends are ready for a game of
truth. Spin the bottle. But someone is slowly killing off the players. The fun
night out plummets into a desperate struggle for survival and a race to
discover who isn’t playing by the rules.
16. Faye:
We subvert stereotypes by having a
brave female character. Not a
stereotypical, squeamish girl and
determined to help the other
characters. Dating Aaron.
Played by Frankie-Rose Taylor
17. Aaron:
Main, brave male character
stereotype. Always tries to help the
rest of the group. Dating Faye.
May be played by George Sceats.
18. Rachel:
Promiscuous blonde stereotype.
Starts off seeming nice and her
bullying of best friend Alice is not
noticed. Her true colours are
revealed. On and off relationship with
Kyle.
May be played by Theresa Jones.
19. Kyle:
“Jerk” male stereotype. His true
character (coward) is not seen until
further into the film. On and off
relationship with Rachel and brother
to Lacey.
May be played by Magne D’Mellow.
20. Lacey:
Not one of the common characters.
She is suspected as the killer as she
seems odd, is not a close friend of
the other characters and her drunken
state makes her seem suspicious.
She is only at the party because she
is the sister of Kyle.
Played by Michaella Ashley.
21. Alice:
Doesn’t follow any of the
stereotypes. Shy, quiet and best
friends with Rachel. She is the killer
and her motivation is jealousy of the
other characters, especially Fay, and
being bullied and dominated by
Rachel. She is not suspected by the
other characters and the revelation of
her as the killer is a shock to the
viewer.
Played by Sonia Naqvi.
