Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Multivariate ground motion models (GMMs) that capture the correlation between different intensity measures (IMs) are essential for seismic risk assessment. Conventional GMMs are often developed using a two‐stage approach, where separate univariate models with predefined functional forms are fitted first, and correlation is addressed in a ...

British Journal of Management, EarlyView.Abstract We explore configurations of sufficient and necessary conditions for the evolution and resilience of borrower trust in their lenders. Because trust is a dynamic phenomenon that needs to be understood in terms of change over time, we rely on longitudinal data collected from managers of small‐ and medium‐sized enterprises (SME) who are clients ...

On Algebras of Distributions of Binary Formulas for Theories of Unars
Известия Иркутского государственного университета: Серия "Математика", 2016 Algebras of distributions of binary isolating and semi-isolating formulas are derived structures for a given theory. These algebras reflect binary links between realizations of 1-types defined by formulas of the initial theory.

Why did Putin invade Ukraine? A theory of degenerate autocracy
American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.Abstract Many dictatorships end up with a series of disastrous decisions such as Hitler's attack on the Soviet Union or Saddam Hussein's aggression against Kuwait. Even if a certain policy choice is not ultimately fatal for the regime, such as Mao's Big Leap Forward or the Pol Pot's collectivization drive, they typically involve both a miscalculation ...

, 2016 The FitzHugh-Nagumo model describing propagation of nerve impulses in axon is given by fast-slow reaction-diffusion equations, with dependence on a parameter $\epsilon$ representing the ratio of time scales.

Computing Skinning Weights via Convex Duality
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.We present an alternate optimization method to compute bounded biharmonic skinning weights. Our method relies on a dual formulation, which can be optimized with a nonnegative linear least squares setup. Abstract We study the problem of optimising for skinning weights through the lens of convex duality.

Aggregation and the Structure of Value
Noûs, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Roughly, the view I call “Additivism” sums up value across time and people. Given some standard assumptions, I show that Additivism follows from two principles. The first says that how lives align in time cannot, in itself, matter. The second says, roughly, that a world cannot be better unless it is better within some period or another.

Exact Algorithms for Solving Stochastic Games [PDF]
, 2012 Shapley's discounted stochastic games, Everett's recursive games and Gillette's undiscounted stochastic games are classical models of game theory describing two-player zero-sum games of potentially infinite duration.

Assessing multifunctional mountain landscape in an Eastern European framework
Geographical Research, Volume 64, Issue 2, May 2026.The research introduces the Biocultural Resilience Index (BRI), a novel tool for assessing multifunctional landscape sustainability. By integrating biological, cultural, and socio‐economic indicators, the BRI identifies vulnerable areas and informs strategies for sustainable management.

On algebras of binary isolating formulas for weakly circularly minimal theoriesof convexity rank 2
Kazakh Mathematical JournalThis paper is devoted to the study of weakly circularly minimal circularly ordered structures. The simplest example of a circular order is a linear order with endpoints, in which the largest element is identified with the smallest. Another example is the order that arises when going around a circle.
