Scaling in soft spheres: fragility invariance on the repulsive potential softness
, 2004 We address the question of the dependence of the fragility of glass forming supercooled liquids on the softness of an interacting potential by performing numerical simulation of a binary mixture of soft spheres with different power n of the interparticle

What can we learn by squeezing a liquid
, 2006 Relaxation times for different temperatures, T, and specific volumes, V, collapse to a master curve versus TV^g, with g a material constant. The isochoric fragility, m_V, is also a material constant, inversely correlated with g.

Force dependent fragility in RNA hairpins [PDF]
, 2006 We apply Kramers theory to investigate the dissociation of multiple bonds under mechanical force and interpret experimental results for the unfolding/refolding force distributions of an RNA hairpin pulled at different loading rates using laser tweezers ...

, 2017 The present study is focused mainly on development of the fragility curves for the sidesway collapse limit state. One important aspect of deriving fragility curves is how uncertainties are blended and incorporated into the model under seismic conditions.

Development of Fragility Curves for Piping and Slope Stability of River Levees
Water, 2021 The design code Eurocode 7 relies on semi-probabilistic calculation procedures, through utilization of the soil parameters obtained by in situ and laboratory tests, or by the means of transformation models.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Bifidobacterium bifidum establishes symbiosis with infants by metabolizing lacto‐N‐biose I (LNB) from human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs). The extracellular multidomain enzyme LnbB drives this process, releasing LNB via its catalytic glycoside hydrolase family 20 (GH20) lacto‐N‐biosidase domain.

Probabilistic Seismic Demand Assessment of Steel Moment Resisting Frames Isolated by LRB [PDF]
Numerical Methods in Civil Engineering, 2017 Seismic isolation is an effective approach used in controlling the seismic responses and retrofitting of structures. The construction and installation of such systems are expanded nowadays due to modern improvements in technology.

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 Despite the importance of critical infrastructure for the effective functioning of communities, their vulnerability to tsunamis remains unstudied. This study addresses this issue by developing empirical fragility curves for infrastructure components ...

Order Matters: The Benefits of Ordinal Fragility Curves for Damage and Loss Estimation
Risk Analysis, 2021 Probabilistic loss assessments from natural hazards require the quantification of structural vulnerability. Building damage data can be used to estimate fragility curves to obtain realistic descriptions of the relationship between a hazard intensity ...
