Derivation of fragility curves for traditional timber-framed masonry buildings using nonlinear static analysis [PDF]

, 2013
Recent earthquakes and two experimental campaigns on timber-framed masonry walls have shown that timber-framed masonry buildings possess a good displacement capacity and hence can withstand severe earthquakes without collapse.

How to use a nondestructive evaluation of timber structures [PDF]

, 2007
A variety of NDE techniques can be employed by an inspector in order to determine the condition of an timber structure. Advances are needed to improve the effectiveness of predicting timber properties and overall structural capacity from various NDE ...

A Deep Learning Framework for Forecasting Medium‐Term Covariance in Multiasset Portfolios

Journal of Forecasting, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Forecasting the covariance matrix of asset returns is central to portfolio construction, risk management, and asset pricing. However, most existing models struggle at medium‐term horizons, several weeks to months, where shifting market regimes and slower dynamics prevail.

First Confirmed Cooperative Breeding of the Brown Hornbill (Anorrhinus austeni) in China at the Sino–Lao Frontier 中国中老边境尚勇保护区首次记录白喉犀鸟 (Anorrhinus austeni) 的合作繁殖行为

Integrative Conservation, EarlyView.
First confirmed breeding of the Brown Hornbill in China, documented through cooperative feeding in Shangyong Protected Area. ABSTRACT The Brown Hornbill (Anorrhinus austeni), a Near Threatened frugivore, reaches the northern edge of its distribution in southern Yunnan, China, yet breeding had not been previously documented with site‐attributed nests in
