In this report a model for the determination of the serviceability and ultimate moment capacities of bolted moment end plate connections utilising rectangular hollow sections joined with eight bolts is presented. The connection configuration is such that two bolts are located above each of the flanges and beside each of the webs. The model considers the combined effects of prying action due to flexible end plates, the formation of yield lines in the end plates, and failures due to punching shear and beam section failure. The model is calibrated and validated using experimental data from a test program. The design model constitutes a relatively simple method for predicting the serviceability and ultimate moment capacities for the particular type of bolted moment end plate connection described herein.
Teachers as Catalysts for Value-Based Education The book emphasizes the pivotal role of teachers in fostering value-based education (VBE). By acting as role models, curriculum designers, and facilitators of ethical discussions, teachers shape students' moral and ethical perspectives. Through behavior modeling, curriculum integration, and creating respectful environments, teachers lay the foundation for students’ value-driven character development. Incorporating Core Values Across Educational Levels Value-based education aims to holistically develop students by nurturing intellectual, emotional, and ethical growth. The book highlights how embedding core values, such as empathy, respect, ...
An organization’s ability to attract and retain talent is an essential component of talent sustainability. When organizations experience employee turnover, organizational knowledge is lost (Cotton & Tuttle, 1986; Lowe & Barnes, 2002). Employee retention affects an organization’s overall performance. In the coming years, organizations including the federal government will experience an increase in attrition due in part to retirements. Annually, organizations spend billions of dollars replacing the talented employees who have left their employ (Mathis, 2006a). In addition, organizations will need to replace employees that are eligible to retire. Baby boomers are defined as people born between 1945 and the early 1960’s (Business Dictionary, 2013). The retirement of baby boomers will decrease the supply of talent in the next five years. As the need for talent increases, the acquisition of talent becomes more competitive as organization pull from the same pool of candidates.
The management of a library is the most important component of any library system. It encompasses a wide range of activities and procedures that are designed to efficiently organize, preserve, and provide access to information resource collections. At its core, library management entails the methodical management of library operations in order to cater to the varied requirements of library users and to guarantee the efficient operation of the library as an educational and cultural enrichment institution. Library management is responsible for a number of duties, one of the most important of which is the organization of the large array of information resources that are available within the library. The process of cataloging, categorizing, and indexing materials in order to make them more accessible to customers is included in this duty. Standardized classification methods, such as the Dewey Decimal Classification or the Library of Congress Classification, are utilized by librarians in order to guaranteeuniformity and clarity in the organization of all available materials.
Resource-intensive Mobile Application (RMA) execution is inhibited by mobile de- vice constrained resources, particularly CPU, RAM, storage, and battery. However, Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) as the state-of-the-art mobile computing paradigm is aiming to augment computing capabilities of mobile devices, mitigate their resource-deficiency, and realize efficient execution of RMA. MCC solutions dominantly perform remote execution of resource-intensive RMAs’ components using resources-rich Distant Immobile Cloud (DIC), particularly public cloud. Although DICs feature high availability and elastic scalability, they are characterized by high communication latency and lack of mobility. Therefore, performance gains of mobile augmentation using DIC are mitigated and RMA execution efficiency is remarkably degraded. In this study, we aim to achieve efficient execution of RMAs by proposing a lightweight MCC framework. We verify the problem significance by analyzing time and energy overheads of exploiting DICs for augmenting resource-constraint mobile devices.
As more and more organizations consider moving their applications and data from dedicated hosting infrastructure, which they own and operate, to shared infrastructure leased from `the cloud', security remains a key sticking point. Tenants of cloud hosting providers have substantially less control over the construction, operation, and auditing of infrastructure they lease than infrastructure they own. Because cloud-hosted infrastructure is shared, attackers can exploit the proximity that comes from becoming a tenant of the same cloud hosting provider. As a result, some have argued that that cloud-hosted infrastructure is inherently less secure than the self-hosted infrastructure, and that it will never be appropriate for high- stakes applications such as health care or nancial transaction processing.

As prevailing copper interconnect technology advances to its fundamental physical limit, interconnect delay due to ever-increasing wire resistivity has greatly limited the circuit miniaturization. Carbon nanotube (CNT) interconnects have emerged as promising replacement materials for copper interconnects due to their superior conductivity. Buffer insertion for CNT interconnects is capable of improving circuit timing of signal nets with limited buffer deployment. However, due to the imperfection of fabricating long straight CNT, there exist significant unidimensional-spatially correlated variations on the critical CNT geometric parameters such as the diameter and density, which will act the c...
Optical fiber communication has emerged as a high potential substitute for communication methods such as twisted pair and coaxial wire. The main advantage of optical fiber over previous methods is to have higher capacity of data rate transmission. The conventional types of modulation and demodulation technique, which have been used through optical fiber communication system are Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technique and Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technique so far.
