Response modification factor of eccentrically braced frames with reduced beam section [PDF]

Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2018
Eccentrically braced frames are one of the most proper lateral resisting systems in seismic areas. The link beam in an eccentrically braced frame acts like a structural fuse, which is able to sustain large plastic shear or flexural deformations ...

Implementing Health‐Related Quality of Life Assessment in Pediatric Oncology: A Feasibility Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background There is growing interest in embedding health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) assessment and patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs) within clinical cancer care. This study evaluated the feasibility, acceptability, and usability of implementing an electronic PROM (ePROM) platform to measure HRQoL in children with cancer ...

Time History Analysis of Irregular Shape Building

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT
Abstract Irregular-shaped buildings have become increasingly common in modern construction due to architectural innovation, yet they pose significant challenges in seismic design because of their complex dynamic behavior. This study investigates the seismic performance of various irregular building configurations L-shaped, C-shaped, T-shaped ...

Treatment Decision‐Making Roles and Preferences Among Adolescents and Young Adults With Cancer

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Decision‐making (DM) dynamics between adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer, parents, and oncologists remain underexplored in diverse populations. We examined cancer treatment DM preferences among an ethnically and socioeconomically diverse group of AYAs and their parents.

A New Elastoplastic Time‐History Analysis Method for Frame Structures

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2020
This study aimed to analyze the formation and application of the time‐domain elastoplastic response spectrum. The elastoplastic response spectrum in the time domain was computed according to the trilinear force‐restoring model. The time‐domain elastoplastic response spectrum corresponded to a specific yield strength coefficient, fracture stiffness, and

Parent Quality of Life at Two Years Following Their Child's Completion of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Treatment

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Parents of children treated for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) often experience significant caregiver burden and disruption to their well‐being. While parent quality of life (QoL) during treatment is well characterized, little is known about outcomes during early survivorship.

Cognitive Functioning in Vorinostat‐Treated Pediatric and Young Adult Patients Over the First 180 Days After Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Cognitive and psychological difficulties could negatively interfere with treatment adherence and quality of life before and after hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). Methods to mitigate these changes may have positive effects on treatment success.

Event History Analysis of Women's Marriage Timing

Contemporary Sociological Studies, 1993
本研究の目的は、現代女性の結婚行動を、主として社会階層的要因との関連において説明することである。三二四人の女性の個人データに基づき、結婚を早めたりあるいは遅らせたりする規定要因をイベントヒストリー分析を用いて明らかにする。分析の結果明らかになった知見は、第一に、現代において、女性の結婚の時機は、その出身家庭の社会的地位によっては規定されないこと、つまり結婚の時機を規定するのは、女性本人が形成した社会的地位それ自身である。第二に、学歴や職業といった女性の社会的地位が、結婚の機会や意思決定に影響し、高学歴女性や専門職など高い地位を達成した女性は結婚を遅らせるようになる。第三に、興味深い知見として、母親の就労は娘の結婚年齢を低下させる。
