Most commonly, however, altars are made of stone slabs resting horizontally on legs, columns, or lateral supports, although the pre-Sāsānid Iranian slab altar (ādōshi) rested on a pedestal.
Four types of lateral supports at the tip of the overhanging beams were studied.
For the optimization of the lateral supports two evolutionary algorithms are used, genetic algorithm and particle swarm algorithm.
People, if devised with regard to the remarkable features of such construction and provided with some additional low cost features like lateral supports (buttresses), improved local binding materials, configuration, site selection, among others; resilience could be remarkably enhanced.
During the electrical characterization, the flexible substrate was clamped between two lateral supports and its central part was put in contact with a pushing rod, driven by a piezoelectric system.
The P-RRMS was designed as a small treadmill, equipped with roller ski stabilizing lateral supports and a screwed bar for applying different vertical loads on the roller ski.
