Seismic analysis and design of tunnels within fault ground: A review
The research methods of seismic response of tunnels within fault ground, including field investigations, analytical solutions, physical experiments, and numerical simulations, and seismic countermeasures are discussed. The present study examines the shortcomings and limitations of the current research and design, and puts forward proposals for future ...

ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to assess the structural validity and readability of a brief 7‐item version of the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (the EDE‐Q7) among adolescents. Method Latent variable analysis was used in a sample of 263 adolescents (age range = 13–17.99y) diagnosed with an eating disorder and recruited from treatment ...

Hierarchically porous, N‐doped freestanding anode enables reversible Na+ insertion/desorption and Na–Co alloying, delivering fast kinetics, structural robustness, and durable sodium‐storage performance even under bending/folding. To develop a green, sustainable, and high‐performance anode for sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs), flexible biomass‐based carbon ...

Metal‐Free Halogen‐Engineered Carbon Nanotubes for Highly Efficient Oxygen Reduction Reaction
In work employs density functional theory screening to guide the halogen engineering of metal‐free, Cl‐mediated carbon nanotubes for a highly efficient oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Cl‐mediation optimally tunes the electronic structure and binding energies of oxygen intermediates, delivering an ORR activity rivaling that of commercial Pt/C, high 4e−

ABSTRACT Water governance is increasingly influenced by a paradox at the nexus of environmental scarcity and food security. Escalating water scarcity crises coincide with geopolitical disruptions that have exposed the fragility of global food supply chains, prompting states to expand domestic food production at the expense of water conservation ...

Forecasting heart failure: Seasonal alignment of heart failure outcomes in New York
Abstract Background Seasonal variations have been observed in heart failure (HF) hospitalization. Numerous explanatory mechanisms have been proposed, but no prior studies have examined potential contributors directly. Our objective was to identify specific factors that could contribute to seasonal variability using a large longitudinal dataset of HF ...

Abstract Background Arterial stiffness is a crucial factor in determining an increase in systolic blood pressure and pulse pressure and can also predict the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between arterial stiffness and future CVD.

Comparative performance of 7 risk prediction indices in patients hospitalized for heart failure. In this cohort of 1206 patients, the LENT index offered the greatest discrimination, calibration, and overall accuracy in predicting 30‐day composite all‐cause mortality or readmission following hospitalization for heart failure.

Rocking and Rolling of Rigid Polygons Under Seismic Excitation
ABSTRACT We present an event driven analytical framework for rigid cyclic polygons subjected to horizontal ground excitation in which uplift, impact, and successive pivot switching are treated within a unified non‐smooth dynamical description. Rolling is defined as a sequence of energetically admissible transitions between neighbouring vertices tied to
