Analysis of seismically‐isolated two‐block systems using a multi–rocking‐body dynamic model

Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 38, Issue 12, Page 1583-1604, August 2023., 2023
Abstract A novel multibody rocking model is developed to investigate the dynamic response of two stacked rigid blocks placed on a linear base isolation device. The model is used to investigate the dynamic response of a realistic statue‐pedestal system subject to pulse‐like ground motions.

Effects of forest fragmentation on the weight of understory birds at the Biological Dynamics of Forest Fragments Project in Amazonia

Biotropica, Volume 54, Issue 4, Page 852-859, July 2022., 2022
Deforestation and habitat fragmentation are known as the chief drivers of biodiversity loss. Habitat fragmentation in the Brazilian Amazon was found to affect the weight of birds that remained in isolated areas. Our results provide a novel analysis into how avian body mass responds to habitat fragmentation.

Effects of forest degradation on Amazonian ferns in a land‐bridge island system as revealed by non‐specialist inventories

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 3, Issue 1, January–March 2022., 2022
Tropical forests have been rapidly deforested and degradation worldwide has outpaced biodiversity field sampling. We here show that a simple sampling protocol carried out by a non‐specialist can lead to inexpensive and highly reliable ecological data.

Influence of hospital size on antimicrobial resistance and advantages of restricting antimicrobial use based on cumulative antibiograms in dogs with Staphylococcus pseudintermedius infections in Japan

Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 32, Issue 6, Page 668-e178, December 2021., 2021
Background Antimicrobial resistance in Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (SP) and the prevalence of meticillin‐resistant SP (MRSP) is increasing in dogs worldwide. Objectives To evaluate the influence of hospital size on antimicrobial resistance of SP and whether restricted use of antimicrobials based on antibiograms could reduce the identification of ...

Clinical characteristics, predictors, and performance of case definition—Interim results from the WHO global respiratory syncytial virus surveillance pilot

Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses, Volume 14, Issue 6, Page 647-657, November 2020., 2020
Abstract Background The lack of a uniform surveillance case definition poses a challenge to characterize the epidemiology, clinical features, and disease burden of the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Global standards for RSV surveillance will inform immunization policy when RSV vaccines become available.
