A Probabilistic Assessment Model for Train-Bridge Systems: Special Attention on Track Irregularities by Dejun Liu, Lifeng Xin, Xiaozhen Li, Jiaxin Zhang

“…In this paper, a probabilistic model devoted to investigating the dynamic behaviors of train-bridge systems subjected to random track irregularities is presented, in which a train-ballasted track-bridge coupled model with nonlinear wheel-rail contacts is introduced, and then a new approach for simulating a random field of track irregularities is developed; moreover, the probability density evolution method is used to describe the probability transmission from excitation inputs to response outputs; finally, extended analysis from three aspects, that is, stochastic analysis, reliability analysis, and correlation analysis, are conducted on the evaluation and application of the proposed model. …”

Personality styles and self-harm in adolescents of the city of Arequipa by Marilia Gallegos-Santos, Yesenia Casapia Guzman, Renzo Rivera Calcina

“…Likewise, we found that sensitive personality styles (r = .293; p<.001), inhibited (r = .203; p<.001), violent (r = .149; p<.001) are those that more are associated with self-injurious behaviors. It is concluded that sensitive, inhibited and violent personality styles are linked to a higher prevalence of self-injury in adolescents in the city of Arequipa.…”
