Time‐Variant Seismic Fragility of Reinforced Concrete Bridge Piers Considering Degradation Phenomena

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aging and environmental exposure progressively deteriorate the physical and mechanical properties of construction materials, thereby affecting the safety and functionality of existing infrastructure. Corrosion of steel rebars in reinforced concrete structures is widely acknowledged as the most common and detrimental degradation phenomenon, as ...

Directionality Scaling of Scalar and Vector Ground Motion Intensity Measures

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The azimuthal directionality of earthquake ground‐motion intensity measures (IMs) is conventionally described by the ratios between the orientation‐independent maximum (RotD100) and median (RotD50) values over the horizontal plane. This study presents a refined characterization of the directionality of 31 IMs, including spectral accelerations (

Statistical Analysis of the Raindrop Size Distribution Using Disdrometer Data

open access: yesHydrology, 2016
The present study utilizes nine years of measurements taken from a Joss–Waldvogel disdrometer (JWD). From this dataset, thirty six rainfall events, were selected and categorized, respectively, in convective and stratiform types, according to specific ...

Threshold Asymmetric Conditional Autoregressive Range (TACARR) Model

open access: yesJournal of Forecasting, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper introduces a Threshold Asymmetric Conditional Autoregressive Range (TACARR) model for analyzing the daily price ranges of financial assets. The proposed formulation assumes that the conditional expected range switches between two regimes, representing upward and downward market states, with the disturbance distribution also allowed ...

Total Immunoglobulin G Variation Through the Phenological Cycle of Migrant and Resident Lesser Long‐Nosed Bats (Leptonycteris yerbabuenae) in the Drylands of Mexico and Its Relationship With Bacterial Killing‐Ability of Plasma

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bats have unique immunological characteristics among vertebrates. Understanding how the immune system responds during the life cycle of bat populations is crucial for grasping how their defenses against infection vary during critical life events.

Goodbye LogNormal Distribution

open access: yes, 2022
AbstractThe R-scripts presented and developed in the prior chapters assumed an investment return generating process that is both static and LogNormal, via the basic function. Indeed, had this work been done in the 1970s, or perhaps the 1670s when national (versus natural) tontines were first launched, that might have been sufficient.

Different demographic drivers of recovery in two adjacent populations of a long‐lived bird of prey

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Understanding the demographic mechanisms underlying population decline or recovery is critical for conservation and management, yet similar population trends may arise from very different underlying processes. Comparing populations of vulnerable species groups like long‐lived raptors in different environments can reveal how species respond to change ...
