Local and global effects of forward directivity
Građevinar, 2013 Previous studies have revealed that near-fault ground motions perpendicular to the fault slip are very destructive for structures. Due to the common use of moment resisting frames and the importance of near-fault strong motions, the local and global ...

Constraints on fault and lithosphere rheology from the coseismic slip and postseismic afterslip of the 2006 M_w 7.0 Mozambique earthquake [PDF]
, 2012 The 2006 M_w 7.0 Mozambique (Machaze) normal-faulting earthquake ruptured an unusually steeply dipping fault plane (~75°). The amount of slip in the earthquake decreased from depths of ~10 km toward the surface, and this shallow slip deficit was at least

Evaluation of seismic parameters of steel moment resisting frames based on “FEMA P-695” under near-field rotated ground motion [PDF]
Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2016 Behavior factor (R) is one of the seismic design parameters that considers nonlinear performance of structures during an earthquake. In most of the seismic design codes, behavior factor has been used for considering nonlinear performance of structures in

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Despite frogs avoiding low temperatures, examination of four salamander species revealed that none avoided cold and all possessed cold tolerance. Functional analysis of TRPM8, a cold sensor, showed that all salamander TRPM8s had lost their cold sensitivity.

A non-separable stochastic model for pulse-like ground motions [PDF]
, 2013 A phenomenological non-separable non-stationary stochastic model is proposed to represent near-fault pulse-like ground motions (PLGMs) by means of a parametrically defined evolutionary power spectrum (EPSD). Numerical data pertaining to ensembles of EPSD

Estimation of Near-Fault Strong Ground-Motion
, 2018 Accumulated data of strong ground motions have been providing us very important knowledge about rupture processes of earthquakes, propagation-path, site-amplification effects on ground motion, the relation between ground motion and damage... However, most of the ground motion databases used in the development of ground motion prediction models are ...

Variable friction pendulum system for near-fault ground motions
Structural Control and Health Monitoring, 2008 The seismic response of a flexible multi-storey building isolated with variable friction pendulum system (VFPS) is investigated under normal component of six near-fault ground motions. The VFPS, an advanced friction base isolator, is proposed in this study.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Evolutionary analysis across 32 placental mammals identified positive selection at residues H148 and W149 in the immune receptor FcγR1. Ancestral reconstruction combined with molecular dynamics simulations reveals how these mutations may influence receptor structure and dynamics, providing insight into the evolution of antibody recognition and immune ...

Analysis of accelerograms—Parkfield earthquake [PDF]
, 1967 Integrated velocities and displacements show that near the fault at Cholame the surface motion exhibited a transient horizontal displacement pulse of approximately ten inches amplitude and one and one-half seconds duration, normal to the fault.
