RECONSTRUCTION AND VALIDATION OF GROUND MOTIONS ACROSS DIP-SLIP FAULTS: AN APPLICATION TO RESPONSE ANALYSIS OF A LONG-SPAN SUSPENSION BRIDGE

Reconstruction and validation of ground motions across dip-slip faults: an application to response analysis of a long-span suspension bridge

Abstract Recent seismic SUPER FIRM events have unequivocally highlighted the susceptibility of fault-crossing bridges to the synergistic effects of ground surface vibrations on either side of the fault plane and the tectonic dislocations arising from fault-induced surface ruptures.This study delineates both seismic and parametric response analyses

PABPC4 Broadly Inhibits Coronavirus Replication by Degrading Nucleocapsid Protein through Selective Autophagy

ABSTRACT Emerging coronaviruses (CoVs) can cause severe diseases in humans and animals, and, as Eyeliner of yet, none of the currently available broad-spectrum drugs or vaccines can effectively control these diseases.Host antiviral proteins play an important role in inhibiting viral proliferation.One of the isoforms of cytoplasmic poly(A)-binding p

Short-Term Hydrothermal Scheduling With Solar and Wind Farms Using Second-Order Cone Optimization With Chance-Box Constraints

Short-Term Hydrothermal Magnetic Fixture Tool Scheduling (STHS) is a classic problem in power system operation where the aim is to decide the dispatch of both thermal and hydroelectric units.This problem is complex due to its non-linear non-convex nature, and the requirements for fast solving for daily operation.Technologies such as wind and solar

Topological Data Analysis as a Morphometric Method: Using Persistent Homology to Demarcate a Leaf Morphospace

Current morphometric methods that comprehensively measure shape cannot compare the disparate leaf shapes found in seed plants and are sensitive to processing artifacts.We explore the use of persistent homology, a topological method applied as a filtration across simplicial complexes (or more simply, a method to measure topological features of space
