Performance-Based Design of RC Structures Subjected to Seismic Load Using a Hybrid Retrofitting Method with Friction Damper and Steel Bracing [PDF]
In this paper, five storey RC (Reinforced Concrete) building is retrofitted using friction damper and steel bracing methods to achieve a target seismic performance level in terms of inter-storey drift and plastic hinge rotations.

Demographic analysis of continuous‐time life‐history models [PDF]
AbstractI present a computational approach to calculate the population growth rate, its sensitivity to life‐history parameters and associated statistics like the stable population distribution and the reproductive value for exponentially growing populations, in which individual life history is described as a continuous development through time.

Time to Tenure in Spanish Universities: An Event History Analysis
Understanding how institutional incentives and mechanisms for assigning recognition shape access to a permanent job is important. This study, based on data from questionnaire survey responses and publications of 1,257 university science, biomedical and engineering faculty in Spain, attempts to understand the timing of getting a permanent position and ...

Analysis of Seismic Wave Selection in Time History Analysis
By introducing a series of problems in time history analysis, such as the selection principle of input seismic wave, the amplitude and frequency characteristics of ground motion, beginners can have a preliminary understanding of the selection of input seismic wave and lay a foundation for further research.
