The Influence of Inter-Connections Characteristics on the Lateral Performance of Braced-Frame Modular Steel Buildings by Mostafa Farajian, Mohammad Iman Khodakarami

“…The obtained responses indicate that the decrease of inter-connections’ stiffness leads to reduction of the lateral capacity. The results indicate that the decrease of inter-connection stiffness can increase the period of the structures up to 10.35%., 5.35% and 3.63% in 4-, 8- and 12-storey buildings. …”

Characterizing Extreme Geomagnetic Storms Using Extreme Value Analysis: A Discussion on the Representativeness of Short Data Sets by G. Bernoux, V. Maget

“…The second reason is that the choice of the correct threshold (when using a Peaks Over Threshold approach) is made difficult with a short data set and leads to inaccurate results. This is a strong result as for accurate estimation of the induced effects of extreme events in radiation belts, we may only rely on short flux data sets from one or another mission (mostly shorter than 20 years).…”
