At present, research on prefabricated piers is limited to the axial compression state.However, many piers are under small eccentric compression in practical engineering.In this article, the seismic performance of ultrahigh performance concrete (UHPC)-grouted corrugated pipe-connected piers under small eccentric compression was studied.A pseudostati
Abstract In this paper, for every relation R on a vector space V, we consider the R-vector space ( V , R ) $(V,R)$ and define the notions of R-convexity, R-convex hull, and R-extreme point in this space.Some examples are provided to compare them with the reference cases.The effects of some operations on R-convex sets are investigated.In particular,
Sparse representation has attracted much attention from researchers in fields of signal processing, image processing, computer vision, and pattern recognition.Sparse representation also has a good reputation in both theoretical research and practical applications.Many different algorithms have been proposed for sparse representation.The main purpos
Facial skin colour, a key factor related to impressions, is widely used by CG character designers to build characters with different storylines.The previous research provided essential suggestions for creating an attractive facial image.However, the suggestions of the prior research are insufficient for building the characters to resonate with the
