Experimental Research on Chinese Traditional Style Architecture Dual-lintel–Column Joint Under Alternating Rapid Loads by JinShuang DONG, Yanru GONG, Bin HUANG, Yan SUI, Liang YANG, Longjian LI

“…Modern building materials and construction technologies have been adopted in traditional Chinese structures; however, their structural properties, mechanical properties, and analytical methods differ from those of modern structures. Research shows that, compared to contemporary reinforced concrete column-beam joints, the structural mechanical properties of Chinese traditional-style architecture are inferior.Methods Consequently, three specimens are designed to study the mechanical behavior of Chinese traditional-style architecture dual-lintel-column joints with a steel-concrete composite structure and viscous dampers. …”

Chemometric analysis of ethoxylated polymer products using extracted MALDI-TOF-MS peak distribution features. by Elizabeth Dickinson, Richard N Cawthorne, Peter Dodds, Graham M Atkinson, Pablo F García Thomas, Lucy Jones, Molly Crosbie, Janet Cook, Julie Wilson

“…Crucially, we weight the extracted features, so that features from a distribution with a high ratio to the main distribution are given more importance ('ratio-scaled'). We exemplify the method by characterizing the structural variation between types of compositionally diverse Polysorbate 80, PEG castor oil and Oleth-20, and compare the chemometric analysis using our extracted features with analysis of the full spectra. …”
