(2022)Building upon the perspectives of sport value co-creation and symbolic action, this study employs a hermeneutic analysis of the socio-cultural dynamics shaping value in events. It examines the symbolic co-construction of ... -
Out-of-plane response of masonry walls strengthened using textile-mortar system
(2018)The out-of-plane response of masonry walls strengthened with textile-reinforced mortar (TRM) is experimentally investigated in this work. Medium-scale three-point bending tests were carried out on 18 specimens comprising ... -
Out-of-Plane Strengthening of Masonry-Infilled RC Frames with Textile-Reinforced Mortar Jackets
(2019)This paper presents an experimental investigation on the use of textile-reinforced mortar (TRM) jackets as a means of improving the out-of-plane performance of masonry infill walls in reinforced concrete (RC) frames during ... -
Outage Analysis and Realization Challenges of RIS-enabled Underlay CR Networks over Nakagami-m Fading
(2022)Metamaterials, i.e., reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs), have become very promising and advancing rapidly due to the ability to manipulate electromagnetic (EM) waves. This feature essentially ensures the versatile ... -
Outage probability and ergodic capacity of free-space optical links over strong turbulence
(2008)The performance of a free-space optical (FSO) communication system under strong turbulence regime that follows the K distribution is evaluated. Some useful channel statistics are derived in closed form and the outage ... -
Outage Probability of a Multisensor Mixed UOWC-FSO Setup
(2019)The performance of a network consisting of several underwater sensors communicating with a terrestrial destination is studied for the first time in terms of the outage probability. In the scenario under consideration, K ... -
