A Common Framework for Tuned and Active Mass Dampers: Application to a Two-Storey Building Model
This paper presents a common framework for designing tune mass dampers (TMD) and active mass dampers (AMD) to control the vibrations of shear buildings. This common framework is used for tuning the parameters ...

Antifungal activity and bean growth promotion of Trichoderma strains isolated from seed vs soil
The common bean is a legume crop distributed worldwide. Dry bean production has gone through increasing difficulties due to relatively low yields in the last few years. Rhizoctonia solani is one of the root and h...

Common Bean Genetics, Breeding, and Genomics for Adaptation to Changing to New Agri-environmental Conditions
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) has become, over the last 20 years, a competitive crop in national, regional, and international markets. This situation presents a dynamic environment for producers and researc...

Taking advantage of solving the resource constrained multi-project scheduling problems using multi-modal genetic algorithms
In this paper, for the first time, multi-modal genetic algorithms (MMGAs) are proposed to optimize the resource constrained multi-project scheduling problem (RCMPSP). In problems where the landscape has both m...

Response of a Pendulum TMD with Large Displacements
The behavior of a nonlinear pendulum working as a tuned mass damper (TMD) for slender structures is analyzed in this paper. The influence of the inherent nonlinearity of the oscillations of the pendulum, toget...
