Site effects how-to and when: An overview of retrospective techniques to accommodate site effects in multi-site neuroimaging analyses. [PDF]
Front Neurol, 2022 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. They influence nearly all multi-site imaging modalities and biomarkers, and methods to compensate for

Vulnerability and Site Effects in Earthquake Disasters in Armenia (Colombia). I—Site Effects [PDF]
Geosciences, 2018 The city of Armenia, Colombia has been repeatedly subjected to moderate magnitude earthquakes. Damage in that city for the 1999 (Mw6.2) event was disproportionate (maximum observed EMS-92 intensity of IX), even considering the small epicentral distance ...

Distant Site Effects of Ingested Prebiotics. [PDF]
Nutrients, 2016 The gut microbiome is being more widely recognized for its association with positive health outcomes, including those distant to the gastrointestinal system. This has given the ability to maintain and restore microbial homeostasis a new significance.

A linked independent component analysis framework for characterizing site-effect patterns in multi-site structural and functional MRI [PDF]
Frontiers in BioinformaticsIntroductionLarge-scale multi-site magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) improves population coverage and statistical power, but scanner- and protocol-related variability can obscure biological effects.

Near-Source Simulation of Strong Ground Motion in Amatrice Downtown Including Site Effects
Geosciences, 2021 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.

Harmonization of multi-site functional MRI data with dual-projection based ICA model
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023 Modern neuroimaging studies frequently merge magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data from multiple sites. A larger and more diverse group of participants can increase the statistical power, enhance the reliability and reproducibility of neuroimaging ...

Evaluation of site effects on the seismic performance of a friction-damped steel IMF under near-fault earthquakes [PDF]
Numerical Methods in Civil Engineering, 2021 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
