Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Viscous dampers (VDs) are widely used to mitigate the excessive responses of long‐span bridges. However, VDs face some intricate challenges in engineering practices, including high damping coefficient requirement, potential base shear amplification and tremendous damping force under high velocity. To address these issues, this study develops a

Effect of Austerity Measures on Infant Mortality: Evidence From Greece
Health Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Governments frequently adopt austerity policies when facing economic crises, yet their long‐term consequences for population health remain incompletely understood. This paper examines the impact of large‐scale fiscal austerity on infant mortality by exploiting the Troika‐led economic adjustment program implemented in Greece beginning in 2010 ...

The Effect of the Interaction Between Price and Time Preference on Cigarette Consumption
International Studies of Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The primary focus of this essay is to obtain new estimates of the price sensitivity of cigarette consumption and related outcomes using the 1979 cohort of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY79). This work expands on the existing literature on the topic by taking into account measures of time preference in the NLSY79 to examine ...

Journal of Graph Theory, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In an effort to understand the complexity of the maximum independent set problem, Chvátal introduced t‐perfect graphs. While a full characterization of this class remains open, important progress has been made for claw‐free graphs [Bruhn and Stein, Math. Program. 2012] and P 5 ${P}_{5}$‐free graphs [Bruhn and Fuchs, SIAM J. Discrete Math. 2017]

On a conic approach to convex analysis.
. The aim of this paper is to make an attempt to justify the main results from Convex Analysis by one elegant tool, the conification method, which consists of three steps: conify, work with convex cones, deconify.

Behavioral responses of black bears to human presence and infrastructure in Yosemite National Park
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.Using GPS collar data from black bears in Yosemite National Park, we examined how bear spatiotemporal activity in relation to human development shifted during the COVID‐19 park closure in 2020. In the absence of visitors, bears maintained consistent landscape‐scale space use but altered fine‐scale spatial and temporal behaviors.
