Abstract
Three unconventional details for the plastic hinge regions of bridge columns subjected to seismic loads were developed, designed, and implemented in a large-scale, four-span RC bridge. Superelastic shape memory alloys (SMAs), engineered cementitious composites (ECCs), posttensioned columns, and elastomeric bearings were used in three different piers to improve the seismic performance of the bridge in terms of minimizing damage and reducing residual displacements. ...

This paper presents a new diagnostic technique for the diagnosis of open-circuit faults in matrix converters operating with an Optimum Alesina-Venturini modulation scheme. Compared to previous diagnostic techniques developed for matrix converters, the technique proposed in this paper has the major advantage of not requiring the installation of any additional sensors in the converter besides the ones already present for control purposes. ...

Abstract
Superlattices made by superposing dielectric and metal nanolayers are of great interest as their small size restricts the thermal energy carrier mean free path, decreasing the thermal conductivity and thereby increasing the thermoelectric figure of merit. It is, therefore, essential to predict their thermal conductivity. Potentials for Au and Si are discussed, and the potential of second nearest-neighbor modified embedded ...

Abstract
For learners to communicate efficiently in the L2, they must avoid pragmatic failure. In many cases, teachers' praxis centres on the learner's performance in the L2 or his role as a speaker, which neglects the importance of his role as interpreter of utterances. Assuming that, as hearers, learners also have a responsibility to avoid pragmatic failure, this paper endorses the relevance-theoretic view of communication ...
