In recent years, the Tuned Mass Damper with inerter (TMDI) has received significant attention.The inerter is defined to exert a force that is in proportion to the relative acceleration of the two inerter terminals.Here, two TMDI topologies are investigated.The conventional topology is given by the inerter being in parallel to the spring and viscous
Abstract In the summer of 2024, COVID-19 positive cases spiked in many countries, but it is no longer a deadly pandemic thanks to global herd immunity to the SARS-CoV-2 viruses.In our physical chemistry lab in spring 2024, students practice kinetic models, SIR (Susceptible, Infected, and Recovered) and SIRV (Susceptible, Infected, Recovered, Vaccin
The medicinal fungus Ganoderma lucidum contains many bioactive triterpenoids, ganoderic acid A (GAA) being one of the major ones.The present study explored the microbial biotransformation of GAA, isolating 283 strains of soil actinomycetes and determining motovox scooter parts their abilities to biotransform GAA with ultra-performance liquid chroma
The fields of photogrammetry and computer vision routinely use line-surface intersections to determine the point where a line intersects with a surface.The object coordinates of the intersection point can be found using standard geometric and numeric algorithms, however expressing the spatial uncertainty at the intersection point may be challenging
