Seismic Vulnerability Assessment of the Cliff-Attached Buildings Equipped with Energy Dissipation Devices Under Obliquely Incident Seismic Waves by Zhuoxin Yang, Dewen Liu, Jiayu Zhou, Li Zhang, Wenyuan Liao

“…It is shown that under the four oblique incidence angles of incidence (compression waves in the vertical plane) studied in this paper, the seismic dynamic response and damage degree peaked at an angle of incidence of 60°, with a tendency to increase and then decrease with increasing angles of incidence. The ability of an energy-dissipating vibration reduction device to change structural vibration characteristics decreases with an increase in incidence angle. …”

Progress in the Application of Resting-State Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Chronic Nonspecific Low Back Pain by XU Ting, XUE Qin, LÜ Ying, TU Jianchun, DAI Dechun

“…Studies show that there are plastic changes in the brain areas related to pain perception, emotion, and cognition in CNLBP, and these abnormalities still exist even in the absence of noxious pain; the function of the motivation-reward circuit in CNLBP is weakened, leading to a decline in cognitive ability; the Default Mode Network (DMN) produces complex regulation of pain through the adjustment within its own network and other brain networks; negative emotions may further reduce the information transmission capacity at both global and local levels of the CNLBP brain functional network. …”

Performance Degradation of Subsea Shield Tunnel Segment Accounting for Concrete Strength Loss and Steel Bar Corrosion by Jiaqi Guo, Weiling Yang, Chong Xu, Bo Peng, Jinhai Lin, Yuan Qian

“…The average of the ratio of dissipated energy to the total energy of dry concrete is much smaller than that of water saturated concrete and chlorine solution saturated concrete, and chloride penetration reduces the energy storage capacity of concrete, and the ability to resist damage is weakened. When steel bars corrode for 120 days, the outer cracks continue to extend, and the concrete around the inner steel bars just begin to crack initiation; when corrode for 20 years, the length of the inner cracks gradually exceeds that of the outer cracks, and the inner cracks initiating from different steel bars coalesce with each other and form a continuous failure surface, causing great serious damage to the segment. …”
