Investigation of Seismic Behavior of Container Crane Structures by Shake Table Tests and Mathematical Modeling by C. Oktay Azeloglu, Ayse Edincliler, Ahmet Sagirli

“…The results of the verification study indicate that the developed mathematical model reasonably represents the dynamic behaviour of the crane structure both in time and frequency domains. The mathematical model can be used in active-passive vibration control studies to decrease structural vibrations on container cranes.…”

Self-Management in Daily Life with Psoriasis: An Integrative Review of Patient Needs for Structured Education by Gitte Susanne Rasmussen, Helle Terkildsen Maindal, Kirsten Lomborg

“…To capture the patients’ cultural understanding of the implications of the disease and care, we developed an interlevel model indicating that self-experienced burden of disease and its visibility, personal conditions such as illness perception, and the patient’s age at onset time are high-impact factors that should be addressed in future structured patient education programmes. The research on patient needs has hitherto focused on adults, but the problems and vulnerability associated with having a chronic and visible disease during adolescence must be acknowledged, and patient education initiatives designed for this young group are recommended.…”
