Seismic Performance Assessment of Ordinary Moment Resisting Frame Equipped with Viscous Dampers under Pulse-Like Earthquakes by Amir Yousefpour, Hamid Mazidababdi Farahani, Mohsen Ali Shayanfar

“…It also shows the effect of soil-structure interaction on increasing the drift between floors and reaching failure at lower spectral acceleration in all models. Also, by comparing the fragility curves of the models under near-field and far-field records, it is found that the probability of failure under far-field documents (without pulse) is less than that under near-field documents (with a pulse).…”

Geomorphology and Sedimentology of a Rapidly Retreating Alpine Glacier: Insights From the Taschachferner, Tirol, Austria by D. P. Le Heron, P. Mejías Osorio, M. Heninger, B. J. Davies

“…The bedrock geology is dominated by E-W striking units of paragneiss and amphibolite, and the latter exhibit a series of well-preserved striations together with meltwater-sculpted bedforms (p-forms). The lower region of the glacier can be divided into two parts: (i) a clean-ice part, on the northern valley side with a low, subdued profile and (ii) a debris-covered part at the southern valley side, covered with supraglacial debris. …”

A multivariable model incorporating these formed the basis for a prognostic index for R/R TCL, in which patients are stratified into low-risk (0-1 risk factor), intermediate-risk (2-3 risk factors), or high-risk (≥4 risk factors) groups, which were associated with 3-year OS of 57.14%, 23.3%, and 7%, respectively. …”
