Long-Term Dynamic Monitoring of Post-Tensioning External Tendons: Temperature Effect Evaluation by Luis Chillitupa-Palomino, Carlos M. C. Renedo, Jaime H. García-Palacios, Iván M. Díaz

“…However, for long-term monitoring assessment, two main challenges have to be addressed regarding practical applications: (i) double-peak spectra and other spurious factors that affect the frequency estimation, and (ii) temperature dependency, which needs to be carefully treated since frequency/tension variation may be explained by temperature variation, thus masking potential structural anomalies. On this subject, this paper presents the experimental long-term monitoring of several post-tensioning external tendons in a high-speed railway bridge in which a sectorized weighted peak-picking frequency identification procedure is proposed for frequency estimation, alongside a cascade clustering process, which allows meaningful frequency estimates to be selected. …”

DISCOVERING AND RESEARCH OF SA HUYNH CULTURE (1909 - 2019) by Lâm Thị Mỹ Dung

“…After this excavation, many other studies were published, and it is worthy of note that in 1936 the term Sa Huynh culture was proposed by Colani (1936). After 1975, along with the sites belonging to Sa Huynh culture in Quangngai, Vietnamese and foreign archaeologists have recognized and studied many Pre Sa Huynh, Sa Huynh, and Sa Huynh-like cultural sites in various localities in the Central Highlands and Southern Vietnam. …”

Heritabilities of Facial Measurements and Their Latent Factors in Korean Families by Hyun-Jin Kim, Sun-Wha Im, Ganchimeg Jargal, Siwoo Lee, Jae-Hyuk Yi, Jeong-Yeon Park, Joohon Sung, Sung-Il Cho, Jong-Yeol Kim, Jong-Il Kim, Jeong-Sun Seo

“…Genetic studies on facial morphology targeting healthy populations are fundamental in understanding the specific genetic influences involved; yet, most studies to date, if not all, have been focused on congenital diseases accompanied by facial anomalies. To study the specific genetic cues determining facial morphology, we estimated familial correlations and heritabilities of 14 facial measurements and 3 latent factors inferred from a factor analysis in a subset of the Korean population. …”
