Site effects how-to and when: An overview of retrospective techniques to accommodate site effects in multi-site neuroimaging analyses. [PDF]
Site differences, or systematic differences in feature distributions across multiple data-acquisition sites, are a known source of heterogeneity that may adversely affect large-scale meta- and mega-analyses of independently collected neuroimaging data ...

Evaluation of site effects on the seismic performance of a friction-damped steel IMF under near-fault earthquakes [PDF]
The local site conditions and the geological properties of soil materials on which buildings are constructed might play a pivotal role in changing the characteristics of input seismic ground motions, and subsequently affect the seismic performance of the

Forest restoration methods, seasonality, and penetration resistance does not influence aboveground biomass stock on mining tailings in Mariana, Brazil [PDF]
The restoration methods applied on the areas affected by the Fundão tailings dam collapse have a high priority in Mariana region. We evaluated the effect of different restoration methods and site preparation techniques, depth and seasonality on ...

Numerical Study of Site Effects on the Amplification of Earthquake Waves in the Fooladi Area of Sarpol-e-Zahab City [PDF]
The amplification pattern of earthquake waves and extensive damages due to that in alluvial valleys are influenced by two phenomena such as alluvial characteristics and topographic features of the site.

Near-Source Simulation of Strong Ground Motion in Amatrice Downtown Including Site Effects
On 24 August 2016, a Mw 6.0 earthquake started a damaging seismic sequence in central Italy. The historical center of Amatrice village reached the XI degree (MCS scale) but the high vulnerability alone could not explain the heavy damage.
