...at the perimeter of buildings are often the result of excessive deformations caused by torsion during the earthquake. Large torsional responses can be expected if the buildings have large eccentricity and low torsional stiffness. Modern codes, including Eurocode 8, recognise the importance of the torsional stiffness on the seismic response and include such information in its static torsional provisions. Eurocode 8 states that the static torsional provisions can be applied to torsionally unbalanced buildings with regularity in elevation that satisfies the set of conditions presented in the Annex B of the Code. Present paper shows an overview on the EC8 torsional provisions including the code background and the comparison with other codes (UBC, etc.). On the other side the EC8 provisions could be improved during the revision process. In fact recent studies on the static torsional provisions of Eurocode 8 show that the static torsional provisions generally are satisfactory in order to limit additional demands when the building has a large torsional stiffness, but the provision seems to be deficient when applied to torsional flexible models. Moreover, the behaviour of buildings designed in High Class of ductility (“HD”) is more complex. This paper compares most of the results existing in the literature, suggests proposals of modification and underlines the importance of further studies in order to evaluate a condition of minimum torsional stiffness. INTRODUCTION The observations...

...E-Banking: ‘A new era of customer satisfaction through SMS Banking’ Abdullah Hassan, BBA(Hon’s), Fourth Year, Department of Management Studies, University of Chittagong, abdtek@gmail.com Abstract According to the Euronet mobile Banking Guide, there are currently close to 400 mobile operators in over 133 countries who are signing up 4 to 6 new customers every second. That means people are now much more interested in cell phone than before. Users always seek multi-dimensional use of their cell phones. The main purpose of this paper is to find out customer satisfaction through SMS Banking. Mobile phone operators provide various value added services (VAS) to their users including banking service and other utility services with the legal agreement with respective organizations. As mobile operators are trying heart and soul to retain existing customers and enhance new customers by adding VAS, hence a mobile banking solution called SMS Banking that allows people to bank with their mobile phones and its overview are presented in paper. Introduction There are various types of E-banking that are used in the field of IT and Banking. SMS Banking is one of them. SMS stands for ‘Short Message Service’. SMS Banking allows you to check account balance, transfer amount to other account, payment of utility bills like electricity bill, gas bill and water bill etc. Short Message Service is particularly adapted to 2G networks because they require low capabilities for data exchange...

...A k-ω Turbulence Model for Quasi-Three-Dimensional Turbomachinery Flows Rodrick V. Chima* NASA Lewis Research Center Cleveland, Ohio 44135 Abstract A two-equation k-ω turbulence model has been developed and applied to a quasi-three-dimensional viscous analysis code for blade-to-blade flows in turbomachinery. The code includes the effects of rotation, radius change, and variable stream sheet thickness. The flow equations are given and the explicit Runge-Kutta solution scheme is described. The k-ω model equations are also given and the upwind implicit approximate-factorization solution scheme is described. Three cases were calculated: transitional flow over a flat plate, a transonic compressor rotor, and a transonic turbine vane with heat transfer. Results were compared to theory, experimental data, and to results using the Baldwin-Lomax turbulence model. The two models compared reasonably well with the data and surprisingly well with each other. Although the k-ω model behaves well numerically and simulates effects of transition, freestream turbulence, and wall roughness, it was not decisively better than the Baldwin-Lomax model for the cases considered here. The Baldwin-Lomax model is popular because it is easy to implement (at least in 2-D) and works fairly well for predicting overall turbomachinery performance. However, the model has both numerical and physical problems. Numerical problems include awkward implementation in 3-D, difficulty in finding the length scale [2]...

...Function Point Analysis Model Vikas Kumar 1, Sweta Pandey 2 Computer Science and Application, Thapar University, Patiala, India 1 Information Technology, Banasthali University, Jaipur, India 2 Abstract: In this paper; a new Function Point Analysis model has been proposed. In this proposed model, a new general system characteristic is added. The expert user programming also affects the size of software. By including it in the list of general system characteristics, it creates a provision for taking end user facilities into account, while estimating the size of a project. It is clear that proposed FPA provides more accurate size estimates and it will narrow the gap between size estimated and actual size. This will result in more accurate effort and cost estimates, which ultimately results in increased productivity and proper staffing, planning and scheduling. Keywords: FPA, cost estimation, effort, size of project I. INTRODUCTION This document describes the Function point analysis which measures software by quantifying the functionality the software provides to the user based primarily on logical design. Here in this Function Point Analysis model has been proposed which creates a provision for taking end user facilities into account, while estimating the size of a project. This paper comprises of four sections including the present one which describes the goal of this paper. Section II shows research based papers which illustrates related work in function point analysis. Section III...

The paper discusses the limitations of the case study design for theory building and explains how grounded theory systemic process adds to the case study design. The author reflects upon his experience in conducting research on the articulation of both traditional social networks and new virtual networks in six rural communities in Peru, using both case study design and grounded theory in a combined fashion in order to discover an emergent theory. Key Words: Case Study, Interpretive Approach, Theory Building, and Grounded Theory Introduction Researchers adopting a case study design face a number of challenges in making their argument. Yin (2003) himself warns researchers who adopt a case study design to be conscious that their findings will be challenged and prefaces his book enumerating the alleged weaknesses in the case study; a methodology that downgrades the academic disciplines and lacks sufficient precision, objectivity, and rigour. We should note that those warnings come from an author who operates from...

...Hierarchicality of Trade Flow Networks Reveals Complexity of Products Peiteng Shi1, Jiang Zhang1*, Bo Yang2, Jingfei Luo1 1 School of Systems Science, Beijing Normal University, Beijing, China, 2 Ministry of Commerce of the People’s Republic of China, Beijing, China Abstract With globalization, countries are more connected than before by trading flows, which amounts to at least 36 trillion dollars today. Interestingly, around 30{60 percents of exports consist of intermediate products in global. Therefore, the trade flow network of particular product with high added values can be regarded as value chains. The problem is weather we can discriminate between these products from their unique flow network structure? This paper applies the flow analysis method developed in ecology to 638 trading flow networks of different products. We claim that the allometric scaling exponent g can be used to characterize the degree of hierarchicality of a flow network, i.e., whether the trading products flow on long hierarchical chains. Then, it is pointed out that the flow networks of products with higher added values and complexity like machinary, transport equipment etc. have larger exponents, meaning that their trade flow networks are more hierarchical. As a result, without the extra data like global input-output table, we can identify the product categories with higher complexity, and the relative importance of a country in the global value chain by the trading network solely.

...community for reliable information on key societal issues. Codes of conduct allow for the vetting of information and the determination of scientific expertise. Violations of research ethics negatively impact the credibility of the researchers involved, and their affiliated institutions. Ethical breaches may also create confusion and distrust among the public, and can be exploited by policy makers. One highly publicized example of an ethical breach involves the plagiarism and misconduct charges leveled against Edward Wegman, a statistics professor at George Mason University. In 2005, Wegman agreed to work with Joe Barton, a congressman from Texas, regarding a request to prepare an opinion on the credibility of key findings of climate science research. In 2006, Wegman testified in front of the United States House Committee on Energy and Commerce. Wegman’s testimony (Wegman, Said, & Scott, 2006) was critical of previous climate science research, particularly of a paper published in Nature (Mann, Bradley & Hughes, 1998). The testimony, commonly referred to as the Wegman Report, was used as a talking point against the establishment of policies to address climate change. The Wegman Report (Wegman et al., 2006) alleged that the field of climate science was discredited by the improper use of statistics, the limited involvement of trained statisticians, as well as by inadequate sharing of research codes, data, and analysis methods.
