Cross-comparative analysis of evacuation behavior after earthquakes using mobile phone data

, 2018
Despite the importance of predicting evacuation mobility dynamics after large scale disasters for effective first response and disaster relief, our general understanding of evacuation behavior remains limited because of the lack of empirical evidence on ...

Exploring Patients’ Profiles Associated With the Resolution of Acute Calcium Pyrophosphate Arthritis Treated With Colchicine and Prednisone: Post Hoc Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective The objective was to identify factors determining acute arthritis resolution and safety with colchicine and prednisone in acute calcium pyrophosphate (CPP) crystal arthritis. Methods We conducted a post hoc analysis of the COLCHICORT trial, which compared colchicine and prednisone for the treatment of acute CPP crystal arthritis, using a ...

Fragility Curves of Restoration Processes for Resilience Analysis [PDF]

, 2017
In literature the fragility curves are usually adopted to evaluate the probability of exceedance of a given damage state. This chapter presents for the first time a procedure for developing fragility curves of restoration processes which can be adopted for resilience analysis.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Youth with Childhood‐Onset Lupus: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective Our objective was to determine the feasibility and acceptability of the Treatment and Education Approach for Childhood‐onset Lupus (TEACH), a six‐session cognitive behavioral intervention addressing depressive, fatigue, and pain symptoms, delivered remotely to individual youth with lupus by a trained interventionist.

Addressing Economic Insecurities Can Improve Patient‐Reported Outcomes in Lupus

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Background Economic insecurities, such as food, housing, transportation, and financial challenges, are modifiable risk factors and influence patient‐reported outcomes (PROs) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We examined: 1) associations between economic insecurities and PROs; 2) the impact of screening and addressing economic insecurities during ...

Seismic Fragility Estimation Based on Machine Learning and Particle Swarm Optimization

Buildings
In seismic performance assessment, the development of building fragility curves is critical for performance-based engineering. Traditional methods for time history analysis, reliant on detailed ground motion (GM) inputs, often suffer from inefficiency ...

Probabilistic seismic risk assessment of adjacent colliding r/c inelastic structures accounting for record-to-record variability [PDF]

, 2019
Seismically excited adjacent buildings with equal floor heights and with inadequate clearance may interact/collide due to out of phase response developing slab-to-slab pounding forces which, although do not induce local damage to structural members, they

Bistable Mechanisms 3D Printing for Mechanically Programmable Vibration Control

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This work introduces a 3D‐printed bistable mechanism integrated into tuned mass dampers (TMDs) for mechanically adaptive passive vibration suppression. Through optimized geometry, the bistable design provides adaptable vibration reduction across a broad range of scenarios, achieving effective vibration mitigation without complex controls or external ...

Landslide Potential Evaluation Using Fragility Curve Model

, 2020
The geological environment of Taiwan mainly contains steep topography and geologically fragile ground surface. Therefore, the vulnerable environmental conditions are prone to landslides during torrential rainfalls and typhoons. The rainfall-induced shallow landslide has become more common in Taiwan due to the extreme weathers in recent years.
