Seismic fragility curve development by coupling FERUM and ZEUS-NL
, 2013 Accurate seismic fragility curve has been recognized as a key to effective seismic risk assessment and management. Existing methodologies for seismic fragility curve development can be classified into four groups: empirical, judgmental, analytical, and ...

Electoral responses to economic crises
American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.Abstract How do voters respond to economic crises: Do they turn against the incumbent, reward a certain political camp, polarize to the extremes, or perhaps continue to vote much like before? Analyzing extensive data on electorates, parties, and individuals in 24 countries for over half a century, we document a systematic pattern whereby economic ...

Boreas, EarlyView.Map of Lower sediment (LS) thickness is a surrogate for the distribution of Thorncliffe Formation (TF) and ~75% of TF thickness from the slope of Niagara Escarpment east to Brighton. Inset images show the LS sequence at the Don Valleys brickyards (DVBY) and undeformed TF sand and gravel (~15 m) below Newmarket Till (NT) at sites L and Co.

Boreas, EarlyView.Glacially overdeepened valleys in the northern Alpine Foreland preserve Middle to Late Pleistocene sedimentary sequences that may serve as valuable archives for reconstructing past environmental changes in response to shifts in climate. This study presents a multidisciplinary analysis of two sediment cores from the overdeepened Wehntal Valley at ...

Boreas, EarlyView.Numerous studies have shown that during the Quaternary there were substantial fluctuations in sea level in response to glacial–interglacial climate variability, reaching lowstand positions up to 134 m below the present sea level (b.s.l.). These fluctuations have had a strong influence on the morphology of shallow shelf seas, which preserve evidence of ...

A Tale of Two Conditions: 50 Years of Chronic Illness and Cancer From a Nursing Perspective
Journal of Advanced Nursing, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction In this commentary, I consider the disparity between the care we see as a necessity for cancer patients and the lack of care we afford to many persons with chronic disease. Background I ground my arguments in my own clinical practice and research experiences over a 50‐year period augmented by reference to available literature ...

Seismic Fragility Analysis of Gravity Dams Considering the Fuzziness of Damage States Thresholds
工程科学与技术, 2020 Since the evolution of the structural damage states is a gradual transitional process and the fuzziness of cognition, the thresholds of damage states of the gravity dams are fuzzy, which will affect the evaluation results of damage states of gravity dams.
