Identification of Insurance Models with Multidimensional Screening [PDF]
We study the identification of an insurance model with multidimensional screening, where insurees are characterized by risk and risk aversion. The model is solved using the concept of certainty equivalence under constant absolute risk aversion and an ...

Seismic vulnerability assessment of clustered historical centers: fragility curves based on local collapse mechanisms analyses [PDF]
, 2016 open5noProtection and preservation of minor historical centres against earthquakes effects are not trivial tasks, particularly in the cases, quite common, of complex aggregate buildings.

By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

System Identification of Constructed Facilities: Challenges and Opportunities Across Hazards [PDF]
, 2008 The motivation, success and prevalence of full-scale monitoring of constructed buildings vary considerably across the hazard of concern (earthquakes, strong winds, etc.), due in part to various fiscal and life safety motivators.

Hematopoietic (stem) cells—The elixir of life?
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The aging of HSCs (hematopoietic stem cells) and the blood system leads to the decline of other organs. Rejuvenating aged HSCs improves the function of the blood system, slowing the aging of the heart, kidney, brain, and liver, and the occurrence of age‐related diseases.

The relationship between observed fatigue damage and life estimation models [PDF]
Observations of the surface of laboratory specimens subjected to axial and torsional fatigue loadings has resulted in the identification of three damage fatigue phenomena: crack nucleation, shear crack growth, and tensile crack growth.

Model coupling friction and adhesion for steel-concrete interfaces
, 2009 The interface behaviour between steel and concrete, during pull-out tests, is numerically investigated using an interface model coupling adhesion and Coulomb friction. This model, first developed by Raous, Cang\'emi, Cocou and Monerie (RCCM), is based on

Damage identification of a reinforced concrete frame by finite element model updating using damage parameterization [PDF]
, 2008 This paper develops a sensitivity-based updating method to identify the damage in a tested reinforced concrete (RC) frame modeled with a two-dimensional planar finite element (FE) by minimizing the discrepancies of modal frequencies and mode shapes.
