Structural Performance For Wide-Shallow Beam In Shear (Comparative Study), Behiry, R.
Structural Performance For Wide-Shallow Beam In Shear (Comparative Study), Behiry, R.
Journal of Engineering Research
Many floor systems contain wide shallow beams to carry floor loads and transfer it to columns. For example, in bridge construction, a system of wide shallow beams (WSBs) may provide a simple and economical system to transfer loads from the slab deck to columns. In many of these design situations, it is often advantageous to use different member widths to minimize reinforcement conflicts and reduce overall congestion. This geometrical peculiarity deserves some attention and caution while dealing with the behaviour at ultimate limit states for shear and flexure. Seven wide-shallow beams with edge columns specimens were used to investigate the …

Why The Optimal Long-Run Tax Rate On Capital Is Zero . . . Or Very High: The Missing Explanation, Chris William Sanchirico
Why The Optimal Long-Run Tax Rate On Capital Is Zero . . . Or Very High: The Missing Explanation, Chris William Sanchirico
Florida Tax Review
Judd’s (1985) finding that the optimal long-run rate of tax on capital is zero—even if equity is an important social objective—has exerted substantial influence in academic and policy circles over the last several decades. Only very recently has it become clear that Judd’s zero-tax result rests on an implicitly adopted assumption about how savings responds to taxation. Working within the very same model structure, Straub and Werning (2020) demonstrate that the optimal long-term tax rate is positive and potentially large under an alternative, equally plausible assumption. This Article attempts to fill a remaining gap in the literature by providing a …
Full Taxation: The Single Tax Emperor's New Clothes, Leopoldo Parada
Full Taxation: The Single Tax Emperor's New Clothes, Leopoldo Parada
Florida Tax Review
It has recently been argued in the international tax literature that the OECD Base Erosion and Profit Shifting project (BEPS) reflects and effectuates full taxation, namely an international norm that would suggest that all of a company’s income should be taxed in places where it has real business activities, representing a modern approach to the single-taxation paradigm. This Article builds upon the concept of full taxation and argues that although rhetorically attractive, the concept is still conceptually inconsistent, particularly because it is incapable of providing any hints as regards where and who should finally be taxed. Moreover, it adopts an …

Smart Sounding Table Using Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System, Osman Ünal, Nuri Akkaş
Smart Sounding Table Using Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System, Osman Ünal, Nuri Akkaş
Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan
Marine engineers measure the liquid level (sounding depth) to calculate the volumetric content of a ship's tank. The sounding depth is determined using an ullage pipe located at specific points on the tanks. To estimate the accurate volume of liquid, considering the ship's trim and heel conditions, engineers use a tank table (sounding table) consisting of hundreds of pages. However, this method is time-consuming and lacks intermediate values for sounding depth, trim, and heel. Ship designers recommend to use linear interpolation for intermediate values, yet this process is also time-consuming. This paper proposes the implementation of an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference …

Space Vector Pwm Technique For Three- To Seven-Phase Ac-To-Ac Power Converters: Analysis And Experimental Verifications, Essa Eddin M. Rashad,, Sherif M. Dabour,, S. M. Allam
Journal of Engineering Research
This paper presents Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) control technique for three to seven-phase ac-to-ac power converters. These proposed PWM techniques are based on Indirect Space Vector Modulation (ISVM), which model the converter as two independent stages perform rectification and inversion stages. Two schemes of ISVM are proposed. The first scheme maximizes the voltage transfer ratio (VTR) of the converter but it produces unwanted low order harmonics. The second scheme generates sinusoidal output voltage waveforms; the cost is a reduction in the VTR of this configuration in linear mode. The viability of the proposed technique is proved using experimental results.
