Fuzzy Metric Space: A Study on Level Sets Notion

open access: yes, 2016
. In this paper, the Level sets concept of fuzzy numbers is considered to study fuzzy metric space. Some properties of metric space along with contraction mapping are revised in terms of the notion of level ...

Next‐Generation Seismic Performance Assessment Through Multi‐Component Ground Motion Compatible Intensifying Artificial Acceleration

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite the crucial need for fully quantitative risk assessment of large‐scale structures, their performance is typically assessed through deterministic or semi‐quantitative approaches. The main preventing factor is the computational burden of probabilistic seismic analyses.

A Control Strategy With Hybrid Compressor Modeling for Electric Vehicle CO2 Heat Pump Systems

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
A hybrid PSO‐BP compressor sub‐model is developed and embedded in a MATLAB/Simscape physical model of a transcritical CO2 heat pump system for electric vehicles. Based on this high‐fidelity platform, a phased variable‐PTC cooperative control strategy is proposed and evaluated.

Influence of Adhesive Type on Heat Induced Delamination in Tension Loaded Shear Lap Cross‐Laminated Timber Samples Exposed to Radiant Heat Flux

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heat induced delamination (HID) is a phenomenon in engineered wood products which may result in the detachment of the bonded timber lamellae before charring propagates to the bond line interphase. This study aims to correlate the thermal degradation of two 1‐c‐polyurethane adhesives at the microscale to the thermo‐hydro‐mechanical behaviour of

Political Transition, Health System Reform and Trust in Childhood Vaccination in Ukraine: A Qualitative Case Study

open access: yesThe International Journal of Health Planning and Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Trust in childhood vaccination is a concern for health policy, particularly in settings of political transition and conflict, where governance, institutional legitimacy and service delivery are often under strain. It is against this backdrop that this study aims to describe evolving interactions between health system governance, trust and ...

Applying a Complexity Lens to Policy Implementation: How Feedback Loops Help to Understand Systems Change in Integrated Healthcare

open access: yesThe International Journal of Health Planning and Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Although a complexity theory lens can help to understand national policy implementation at a local government level, application of this lens often remains at a metaphorical level. We illustrate how complexity concepts, such as adaptation, feedback, emergence and co‐evolution can be used practically in research on policy ...
