Site response analysis is crucial to define the seismic hazard and distribution of damage during earthquakes. The equivalent-linear (EQL) is a numerical method widely investigated and used for site response analysis. ...

Linearity and detection thresholds of atmospheric pressure ionization−mass spectrometry (API-MS) were determined for 11 aroma compounds in air at concentrations ranging from 50 ppb to ∼450 ppm (moles of volatile per mole ...

This paper presents a complete analysis of the cascade structure for adaptive transversal filters based on adaptive algorithms. The standard structure of the cascade transversal FIR filter is obtained by replacing the ...
