TL;DR: In this article, three models with different levels of complexity and simplification were developed to overcome the complexity of the study of the seismic behavior of ancient masonry structures; by combining the results of the different models, it is possible to obtain a better and more comprehensive interpretation of seismic behavior.

TL;DR: An easy-to-use analysis of variance (ANOVA) framework for quantifying the performance of genetic elements and a new statistic, biomolecular part 'quality', for tracking quantitative variation in part performance across changing contexts is proposed.
Abstract: The practice of engineering biology now depends on the ad hoc reuse of genetic elements whose precise activities vary across changing contexts. Methods are lacking for researchers to affordably coordinate the quantification and analysis of part performance across varied environments, as needed to identify, evaluate and improve problematic part types. We developed an easy-to-use analysis of variance (ANOVA) framework for quantifying the performance of genetic elements. For proof of concept, we assembled and analyzed combinations of prokaryotic transcription and translation initiation elements in Escherichia coli. We determined how estimation of part activity relates to the number of unique element combinations tested, and we show how to estimate expected ensemble-wide part activity from just one or two measurements. We propose a new statistic, biomolecular part 'quality', for tracking quantitative variation in part performance across changing contexts.

TL;DR: A comparison is made between an algorithm based on Simulated Annealing and two Evolutionary Algorithms: Genetic Al algorithms (GAs) and Evolution Strategies (ESs), which seem a valid approach to the optimization of non-linear problems.

TL;DR: In this article, the performance of three reinforcement systems made out of steel, carbon and basalt textiles embedded in inorganic matrices has been investigated by means of uniaxial tensile coupon testing and bond tests on brick and stone substrates.
Abstract: Mortar-based composite materials appear particularly promising for use as externally bonded reinforcement (EBR) systems for masonry structures. Nevertheless, their mechanical performance, which may significantly differ from that of Fibre Reinforced Polymers, is still far from being fully investigated. Furthermore, standardized and reliable testing procedures have not been defined yet. The present paper provides an insight on experimental-related issues arising from campaigns on mortar-based EBRs carried out by laboratories in Italy, Portugal and Spain. The performance of three reinforcement systems made out of steel, carbon and basalt textiles embedded in inorganic matrices has been investigated by means of uniaxial tensile coupon testing and bond tests on brick and stone substrates. The experimental results contribute to the existing knowledge regarding the structural behaviour of mortar-based EBRs against tension and shear bond stress, and to the development of reliable test procedures aiming at their homogenization/standardization.
