Seismic damage assessment of subway station subjected to mainshock-aftershock sequences

Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2023
In the previous seismic analyses of underground structures, only the peak structural response under the main earthquake is considered, but the damage mechanism of underground structures subjected to sequential ground motions has not been fully understood

Evaluation of Dried Plasma Spot‐Based Quantification of Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein as a Disease‐Associated Biomarker in Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) measured in dried plasma spots versus conventional plasma‐ and serum‐GFAP testing for assessment of disease severity in aquaporin‐4 immunoglobulin G–positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (AQP4‐IgG+ NMOSD).

Finite-time control for uncertain systems and application to flight control [PDF]

, 2020
In this paper, the finite-time control design problem for a class of nonlinear systems with matched and mismatched uncertainty is addressed. The finite-time control scheme is designed by integrating multi power reaching (MPR) law and finite-time ...

Frailty Predicts Incident Osteoporotic Fractures in Veterans with Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with an increased risk of frailty and osteoporosis, but the relationship between frailty and incident osteoporotic fractures in RA is underexplored. Methods Data were from the Veterans Affairs (VA) Rheumatoid Arthritis Registry. Frailty was measured using the VA Frailty Index (VAFI).

Development of a Disease Activity Index for the Assessment of VEXAS Syndrome (VEXAS‐DAI)

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X‐linked, autoinflammatory, somatic syndrome (VEXAS) syndrome is characterized by a complex spectrum of inflammatory and hematologic manifestations. Clinical research to identify effective therapies is urgently needed but is hindered by the lack of validated outcome measures.

An efficient new iterative method for finding exact solutions of nonlinear time-fractional partial differential equations [PDF]

, 2011
In this paper, a new iterative method (NIM) is used to obtain the exact solutions of some nonlinear time-fractional partial differential equations. The fractional derivatives are described in the Caputo sense. The method provides a convergent series with
