Uncertainty Propagation and Feature Selection for Loss Estimation in Performance-based Earthquake Engineering [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
This report presents a new methodology, called moment matching, of propagating the uncertainties in estimating repair costs of a building due to future earthquake excitation, which is required, for example, when assessing a design in performance-based ...

A framework for the definition of metrics for actor-dependency models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Actor-dependency models are a formalism aimed at providing intentional descriptions of processes as a network of dependency relationships among actors. This kind of models is currently widely used in the early phase of requirements engineering as well

AAA+ protein unfoldases—the Moirai of the proteome

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
AAA+ unfoldases are essential molecular motors that power protein degradation and disaggregation. This review integrates recent cryo‐electron microscopy (cryo‐EM) structures and single‐molecule biophysical data to reconcile competing models of substrate translocation.

An efficient methodology to estimate probabilistic seismic damage curves [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) is a powerful methodology that can be easily extended for calculating probabilistic seismic damage curves. These curves are metadata to assess the seismic risk of structures.

Epigenetic blind spots – the role of DNA methylation dynamics in stem cell‐based models of embryogenesis

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Embryo‐like structures (stembryos) are an innovative tool, but they are hindered by experimental variability and limited developmental potential. DNA methylation is crucial for mammalian development, but its status in stembryo models is poorly characterized.

Enhancing the specific modulus of Al–Li alloys: A machine learning approach to micro-alloying element identification

open access: yesJournal of Materials Research and Technology
To enhance the specific modulus of aerospace structural materials, this study employs machine learning methods to optimize the micro-alloying composition of Al–Li alloys. A total of 151 alloy composition-elastic modulus samples were analyzed.

Effects of general structural stress on vibrational power flow

open access: yesJournal of Low Frequency Noise, Vibration and Active Control, 2019
Vibrational power flow contains two types of information, namely, vibration velocity and structural internal force, and is an important parameter for measuring vibration level and transmission.
