Neurons, immune cells, and other cellular components within the disease microenvironment (such as stromal cells and tumor cells) constitute a dynamically evolving ecosystem. Neurons directly modulate immune cell activity and inflammatory responses through the release of neurotransmitters (e.g., norepinephrine and CGRP), while also promoting tumor ...

Mitigating Seismic Impacts on Asymmetric Structures Through Response Control Technologies
The rise in irregular building construction, driven by esthetics and limited land availability, has led to increased vulnerability to lateral loads. Designers are adopting response control systems (RCSs) to ensure occupant safety and mitigate the risk of structural failure. Among the widely used RCSs are base isolators and dampers.

This research distinguishes the performance of three types of water tanks, which are acting as tuned liquid dampers (TLDs; i.e., rectangular shape flat‐bottom with straight wall, square shape flat‐bottom with straight‐wall, and square shape flat‐bottom with sloped‐wall tanks) in the same plan area firmly fixed to the upper most part of the G+7 framed ...

Role Of Tuned Mass Dampers (Tmds) For Seismic Pounding Mitigation
During earthquakes, buildings that are too close together may crash into each other because there aren't enough gaps between them. This is called seismic bashing. This effect can cause serious damage to structures, which can put people's safety and the ability of things to work at risk.

Abstract To manage structural responses under various external forces, the increasing incorporation of seismic isolation and supplementary damping systems in modern civil engineering necessitates post‐installation performance assessments. The challenge of accurately inferring system information from these complex dynamical structures, especially with ...

Direct loss‐based seismic design of low‐rise base‐isolated reinforced concrete buildings
Abstract This paper proposes a procedure to design low‐rise base‐isolated structures achieving a specific target level of earthquake‐induced loss (e.g., dollars, downtime) while complying with a predefined minimum level of structural reliability.

The number of ground motions used in nonlinear response history analysis (NRHA) determines the precision of the parameter estimates obtained in seismic performance assessments. While this issue has been extensively studied in the earthquake engineering literature, the relationship of probability model misspecification to parameter estimation ...

A Random Field Model of Multipoint Bouncing Loads and Its Applications
In existing load models, the crowd bouncing load is often simplified as a single‐point excitation; moreover, these models lack data support from crowd bouncing experiments. Inspired by the random field models widely adopted in seismic ground motion fields, a random field model for crowd bouncing loads was established in this research.

Evaluation and Performance Testing of Eccentric Rolling Isolation System
Seismic isolation has become a widely accepted method for the protection of structures and nonstructural components. However, this control strategy is unfavorable against near‐fault earthquakes, particularly those featuring velocity‐pulse effects.
