Quantifying Model Selection Uncertainty in Structural Analysis: Methodology and Application
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT With increasing focus on complex engineering systems under rare events, computational models are critical for predictions due to the scarcity or absence of data. However, selecting an appropriate model can be challenging. Using a single model without available test calibration could result in significant bias in performance predictions. A case

Non-Transitive Self-Knowledge: Luminosity via Modal μ-Automata [PDF]
This essay provides a novel account of iterated epistemic states. The essay argues that states of epistemic determinacy might be secured by countenancing self-knowledge on the model of fixed points in monadic second-order modal logic, i.e. the modal $\mu$

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 ...

Knowledge, Information and Surprise
tripleC: Communication, Capitalism & Critique, 2009 In this paper, I analyse the paradox called The surprise exam paradox or The unexpected hanging paradox. I study some interpretations of this paradox, like Quine and Ned Hall ones, and give my own view about its solution, making some approaches from ...

Comparing Knowledge: An Analysis of the Relative Epistemic Powers of Groups
PhilosophiesWe use a novel type of epistemic logic, employing comparative knowledge assertions, to analyze the relative epistemic powers of individuals or groups of agents. Such comparative assertions can express that a group has the potential to (collectively) know

Feminist Anthropology, EarlyView.Abstract This article explores how Afro‐Brazilian communities in Pernambuco respond to state‐led industrial development through culturally rooted practices of resistance and repair. Drawing on archival and ethnographic research in the coastal municipalities of Cabo de Santo Agostinho and Ipojuca, this study traces the effects of Brazil's large‐scale ...

Caught in the fire: An accidental ethnography of discomfort in researching sex work
Feminist Anthropology, EarlyView.Abstract Drawing on fifteen years of engagement with researching Israel's sex industry, this article uses accidental ethnography to propose discomfort‐as‐method for feminist anthropology. I argue that discomfort is not a by‐product of fieldwork but a constitutive condition that disciplines researchers and shapes what can be known.
