Smoothed analysis of probabilistic roadmaps
The probabilistic roadmap algorithm that revolutionized robot planning is a simple heuristic that exhibits rapid performance with unbounded worst-case running time as a function of the input's combinatorial complexity. This paper initiates the use of smoothed analysis to explain the success of the probabilistic roadmap algorithm.

Seismic performance of moment frames under multiple fling-step pulse ground motions
The displacement fling-step pulse seldom signatures near-field earthquake in its ground motions. It is well recognized that the near-field ground motion with velocity pulse amplifies the building drift larger than the regular ground motion.

Cardiac sarcoidosis: from clinical manifestations to heart transplantation
BackgroundCardiac sarcoidosis (CS) represents one of the most severe and prognostically unfavorable manifestations of systemic sarcoidosis. Its diagnosis is often delayed due to non-specific symptoms and the patchy myocardial distribution of ...

Feasibility study of fuzzy method in slope stability analysis of earth dams with respect to the uncertainty of geotechnical parameters [PDF]
The stability of earth dams is assessed through safety factors, indicating stability if they exceed one. Due to soil property uncertainties, fuzzy logic tools seem suitable for slope stability analysis.

Tolerance analysis approach based on the classification of uncertainty (aleatory / epistemic) [PDF]
Uncertainty is ubiquitous in tolerance analysis problem. This paper deals with tolerance analysis formulation, more particularly, with the uncertainty which is necessary to take into account into the foundation of this formulation.

Natural Disasters and Mortality: A Probabilistic Analysis for Argentina (1970-2015)
The frequency and intensity of natural disasters are expected to increase due to climate change. In this context, this work advances in the estimation of an absolute measure of mortality risk generated by natural disasters, in regions of Argentina.
