Modified force/displacement-based procedure for performance-based seismic design of regular RC frames by ElKassas, Soha Hassan Nashaat

“…For development of these displacement prediction relations, prototype structures with various geometrical characteristics are selected for study. A rigorous modelling approach and validated analytical tool are utilized to perform nonlinear time-history analysis as the closest approximation of actual earthquake loading. …”

Linking microbial community dynamics and performance of a biological sulphate reducing system using a mixed volatile fatty acid stream as electron donor by Motleleng, Liabo

“…However, increasing the feed sulphate concentration at the lower dilution rates of 0.0083 to 0.021 h-1 did not alter the oxidation of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) and concomitant sulphate reduction, suggesting that the sensitivity of the propionate and butyrate oxidisers was related to specific growth rate rather than the sulphate loading. A previous mathematical model developed by Moosa et al. (2002) was used to determine microbial growth constants (μmax and Ks) and energetic coefficients (Yx/s) for SRB at each feed sulphate concentration to describe the microbial growth kinetics obtained with anaerobic digestate. …”
