The Used to Date column is included for comparisons. Document the source of information in the Reference column. The calculations...
An experimental research project was conducted to evaluate the compression stability of high strength steel sections. To further study, the structural behavior of the columns thoroughly, finite element analyses were performed using the commercial finite element package ABAQUS. This report presents a finite element analysis of the post-buckling behavior of...
The aim of the report is to show that modern methods of verification of steel structures can be used for the structural appraisal of old cast-iron columns. The report proposes equations for calculating the strength of cast iron columns by checking failure by yielding in compression and fracture in tension....
Accounting standards have moved to include more and more forecasts, while the public expects financial statement figures to be much more solid than they actually are. To reduce the expectations gap, between investors' perceptions of the hardness of financial information and the reality, the paper explores "intertemporal financial statements". Their...
This report describes a series of compression tests performed on stub columns fabricated from cold-formed high strength steel plates with nominal yield stress of 550 MPa. The steel is classified as G550 to Australia Standard AS 1397. The tests included lipped-square and hexagonal sections, including 94 box-shaped fix-ended stub columns....
While glued laminated timbers glulam are typically used as some type of bending member, they are also ideally suited for use as columns. Thus, a glulam column will not undergo the dimensional changes normally associated with larger solid sections which are typically supplied as green timbers. Glulam will remain straight...
One should help readers keep reading by adding jumplines when articles in the newspaper, magazine, or newsletter design continue on another page. Jumplines, also called continuation lines, typically appear at the end of a column, as in continued on page 45. Jumplines at the top of a column indicate where...
Microsoft Office Access 2007 provides a new tool called the Totals row that simplifies the process of summing a column of data. You can also use the Totals row for other calculations such as averages, counting the number of items in a column, and finding the minimum or maximum value...
Using Microsoft Office Excel 2007, you can create a column chart and give it a brand new, appealing look. As one of the most common chart types, a column chart is useful to compare data points in one or more data series. After you create a column chart, you can...
May be you don't have a favorite when it comes to using Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Access, but sometimes the best program to manage your data is the one you least expect. Making the right choice is critical if you want to access and update your information with maximum performance...
You can create reports in Access to meet a variety of requirements. This paper provides basic information about how to create reports, and it describes the various types of reports you can create by using Access 2002 and 2003. For example, we can use AutoReport to quickly create a report...
You can analyze your data and display it in a histogram with the Histogram tool of the Analysis ToolPak. This data analysis add-in is available in Excel, but may not be automatically loaded. Enter the data you want to use as input for the Histogram tool in one column. If...
I, along with many others, do enjoy this publication greatly. The entire magazine is filled with not just entertaining but also informative and useful information. Please maintain your high standards. While I have many topics I could discuss, allow me to provide, hopefully, a "closing" shot to the complaints you...
[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Plant a seed, nurture it, and watch it grow. Farmers and gardeners do so all the time. And I guess it will work with gun'riters, too. In this case I planted the seed in my own fertile brain, and did so just as a joke. A...
[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] A Weatherby rimfire rifle is available again for the first time in nearly 20 years. For some 25 years, from 1964 to 1989, Weatherby offered a semi-auto .22 rifle called the Mark XXII. I first read of this rifle in Jack O'Connor's column in...
I wish to express in the strongest possible terms how much it means to me that your magazine has such excellent writers as David Codrea with his uncompromising "Gun Rights" column, John Taffin and John Connor. I am a father of four and the sole income for my family, yet...
