i1 i (a) Cost curves i. Find an algebraic expression for the marginal cost curve, MC q , of the rep- i resentative firm. Also find the firm’s average costs, average fixed costs, and average variable costs. ii. Does the representative firm enjoy economies of scale at q ...
Another shortcoming of the presence of the web openings in the beams is the increase in the susceptibility of RC beams to reinforcement corrosion due to the increase in the exposed surfaces of the beams to outside environment. An effective solution for the reinforcement corrosion is the adoption ...
local coordinate system (1 2 3) of the fiber tow; subscripts t and c denote ultimate values in tension and compression; the over-bar denotes average value over certain area; E and G denote Young’s modulus and shear modulus; I denotes failure function; δ denotes critical damage length, ...
20(a). Displacement-controlled indentation test was conducted with the maximum depth limit of 1000 nm and the average value of curve flat section (750–900 nm) was taken as the hardness of each measured point. It is clear from Fig. 20(a) that FQZ gives the lowest hardness and the...
The standard solution is to average over larger data batches, which, with independent samples, linearly increases SNR. However, this is at the expense of data efficiency and becomes more difficult with increasing delays and interceding variance. Before we examine a complete task of this structure,...
In this study, synthesize and insight the corrosion inhibition properties of two novel derivatives of 1-naphthyl-2-cyanoacetamide (NCDs) [2-cyano-2-((5,6-dimethyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl) diazenyl)-N (naphthalene-1-yl)acetamide] (NCD1) and [2-Cyano-N-(naphthalene-1-yl)-2-[(4,6-...
An AveragePooling2D layer is used after block5_conv3, to further downscale the images. A BatchNormalization layer is used to speed up the training convergence - the pretrained VGG16 model has an input value range roughly from -128 to 128, which may make the training of top dense layers ...
indicating that the average is about 1.5 times the design strength. The drift of the specimens at the maximum load ranged from 1.13 to 2.11%. Compared to the B-1 series specimens whose horizontal reinforcements of the beams were anchored in the walls, the B2 series specimens whose main bars...
The within-subject (trial-by-trial) fit can be assessed with the distribution of balanced accuracy across participants. Balanced accuracy is the average of prediction accuracy calculated separately for the two types of choices (now or later). d Temporal discount rates for reward (kR), effort (...
The GC was equipped with a DB-5 column (30 m, 0.25 mm, 0.25 μm, Agilent), and helium was used as the carrier gas at an average velocity of 50 cm/s. The oven temperature program started at 80 °C for 1 min, increased at 10 °C/min to 180 °C, then ...
