The European Standard, the New Zealand Standard, the U.S. Standard, the Syrian Standard and the Iranian Standard define a criterion for selecting ground motion records for time-history analysis by similarity between the seismological signature of earthquakes used for the analysis and those earthquakes that are expected to happen at the given location. But these standards follow different methodologies. The New Zealand Standard proposes that the spectrum of each selected record should match the design spectrum over a range of periods related to the fundamental period of the structure investigated. The energy of at least one of these record’s spectra must exceed the energy of the design spectrum. The European Standard recommends that the average spectrum of the selected records should be always higher than 90% of the design spectrum in a defined range of periods, and the value of the average spectrum at period equal zero should be larger than the value of the corresponding design spectrum. The U.S. Standard, also the Syrian and the Iranian Standard; advise that in a defined range of periods, the average spectrum of the selected records should be 40% and higher than the code spectrum. This study illustrates the differences between selecting approaches, and how these differences affect the resulting ground motion records. Some resulting recommendations for record selecting procedures are presented, and advised to be used in addition to the Syrian Standard recommendations.

In this study, basic methodologies of the GA and the scaling procedures are summarized, the scaling criteria of real time history records to satisfy the Syrian design code are discussed. The traditional time domain scaling procedures and the scali ng procedures using GA are utilized to scale a number of the available real records to match the Syrian design spectra. The resulting time histories of the procedures are investigated and compared in terms of meeting criteria.
Transferring of electronic transport records is characterized by activating its functional equivalent provided by UNCITRAL model law on electronic commerce, but some issues may appear related to the burden of proof primarly and finding supplementar y rules to govern legal institutions developed by the various rules which organize the electronic transferring steps which was adopted by the Syrian Maritime trade law , which expanded the explanatory authority of the trial courts and courts of law hearing the cases to develop the optimum theories of proof by adapting classical institutions of proof provided by law of evidence to face electronic proof needs and its functional equivalents used with modern electronic commerce experience . Also the judicial discretion was expanded to distinguish the elements of legal institutions developed in the electronic transferring from those in the non-negotiable electronic documents in order to find the legal rules which govern commitmentsarising from this way of transfer which left for the court the authority in many situations to evaluatethiscommitmentslimits and effects, so studying this authority limits and legal background was necessary .
Our study shows that only 31 % of the world issue the chemical periodicals /1058/. Out of the 1058, 92 % are issued by the third of these countries (20 countries which is equal to 10 % of the world), in which the number of refereed periodicals is higher than the unrefereed ones. The ratio was the same when the periodicals were categorized by the spoken language.
After selecting real seismic records it is necessary to scale these records to match the intensity of the earthquake expected for the site. Generally, scaling can be made by ground motions uniform scaling in time domain which is simply scaled up or d own the ground motions uniformly to best match (in average) the target spectrum within a period range of interest. It’s an engineer’s job to find the best scaling factors to best match the target spectrum, which is a complex task, so we employed the Genetic Algorithm (GA) in finding those scaling factors to achieve the best results. Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are probably the best-known types of artificial evolution search methods based on natural selection and mechanisms of population genetics. These algorithms are often applied to large, complex problems that are non-linear with multiple local optima. The power of the genetic algorithms is inherent in its capability to adapt. In natural systems, species adapt to the environment through successive interactions and generations subject to the environment. After several consecutive generations, only those species that can adapt well to the environment survive and the rest disappear. In mathematical terms, individuals are analogous to problem variables and environment is the stated problem. The final generation of the variable strings that can adapt to the problem is the solution. In this study, basic methodologies of the GA and the scaling procedures are summarized and the scaling criteria of real time history records to satisfy the Syrian design code are discussed. The traditional time domain scaling procedures and the scaling procedures using GA are used to scale a number of the available real records to match the Syrian design spectra. The resulting time histories of the procedures are investigated and compared in terms of meeting criteria.
This study aims to analyze the transport procedures of dangerous goods by air as the documents organize it, shed light on gaps of these regulations, try to find effective solutions for replenish in this documents, unify those procedures in one reg ulation, and the necessity of adoption international convention which organizes the transport of dangerous goods by air.
