Effects of Boundary Condition Models on the Seismic Responses of a Container Crane
In recent years, several large earthquakes have caused the collapse of container cranes, which have resulted in halting of freighting, and significantly affected the economy.

Seismic performance of moment frames under multiple fling-step pulse ground motions
The displacement fling-step pulse seldom signatures near-field earthquake in its ground motions. It is well recognized that the near-field ground motion with velocity pulse amplifies the building drift larger than the regular ground motion.

GRIL-Calib: Targetless Ground Robot IMU-LiDAR Extrinsic Calibration Method using Ground Plane Motion Constraints [PDF]
Targetless IMU-LiDAR extrinsic calibration methods are gaining significant attention as the importance of the IMU-LiDAR fusion system increases. Notably, existing calibration methods derive calibration parameters under the assumption that the methods require full motion in all axes.

Development of an Estimation Method for the Seismic Motion Reproducibility of a Three-dimensional Ground Structure Model by combining Surface-observed Seismic Motion and Three-dimensional Seismic Motion Analysis [PDF]
The ground structure can substantially influence seismic ground motion underscoring the need to develop a ground structure model with sufficient reliability in terms of ground motion estimation for earthquake damage mitigation. While many methods for generating ground structure models have been proposed and used in practice, there remains room for ...

Population and species neighbor identity impact trait–trait relationships and plant performance
We evaluated how populations and species identity influence plant performance and trait outcomes in mixtures, and assessed trait variation among populations of two forb species native to the western United States (Dieteria canescens and Heterotheca villosa) following three interaction treatments (single‐population monoculture, two‐population mixture ...

Effects of chronic browsing on life‐history traits of an irruptive large herbivore population
This study aimed to determine the relationship between diet quality, body mass, and size (hind foot length), and female reproduction and sought to identify the mechanism by which high density under severe food limitations is maintained. Our results demonstrated that sika deer introduced to Nakanoshima Island have maintained high densities through high ...
