Damage Assessment of Shear Wall Structures in an Earthquake–Blast Disaster Chain

Applied Sciences, 2022
Shear wall structures are widely used in civil engineering, and their seismic design has been the focus of much attention. Explosions can result from the rupture and ignition of gas pipelines under seismic action, and there are currently no methods to ...

Seismic Damage Assessment and Retrofitting of Hybrid Structure

The Nucleus, 2020
Pakistan is highly seismically prone country, which faced devastated earthquakes in history. The hybrid structures are very common in northern areas of Pakistan and their behavior under seismic event is very critical. The Seismic response of hybrid buildings is different from other structural systems as there is discontinuity, both in the lateral and ...

Redescription of the Triassic cynodont Cistecynodon parvus and reassessment of its phylogeny

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Cynodontia is an important subclade of Therapsida that first occurred in the late Permian. It includes extinct subclades which are the non‐mammaliaform cynodonts and Mammaliaformes, with the latter ultimately giving rise to crown mammals. The systematics of non‐mammaliaform cynodonts has been extensively studied and is relatively well‐resolved,

Socioenvironmental implications of Jatropha curcas cultivation for biodiesel supply in postmining communities

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract The long‐term viability of Jatropha curcas as a biodiesel feedstock has been widely debated. Many early initiatives failed to deliver consistent economic returns despite promising environmental attributes. This study re‐evaluated J. curcas‐based systems within an integrated environmental–economic framework, focusing on their potential role in ...

Multi-Source Feature-Fusion Method for the Seismic Data of Cultural Relics Based on Deep Learning

Sensors
The museum system is exposed to a high risk of seismic hazards. However, it is difficult to carry out seismic hazard prevention to protect cultural relics in collections due to the lack of real data and diverse types of seismic hazards.
