Research on Damage Assessment of Concrete-Filled Steel Tubular Column Subjected to Near-Field Blast Loading by Ying Cui, Meimei Song, Zhan Qu, Shanshan Sun, Junhai Zhao

“…Using pressure-impulse damage theory and the validated numerical simulations, two pressure-impulse damage evaluation curves for NSS and CFDST columns were established separately by analysing the experimental and simulation data. Finally, based on the two pressure-impulse damage evaluation curves, the two pressure-impulse damage criteria for these two different fixed-end CFST columns were defined based on the deflection of the surfaces facing the explosives. …”

Étude tracéologique des bois de construction du port romain de Saint-Lupien à Rezé/Ratiatum (Loire-Atlantique) by Frédéric Épaud

“…The preservation of the low beams in a wet environment also offered the possibility of inventorying different types of joints, some of which are quite remarkable, such as the end jointed lumber equipped with a mortise and tenon or the straight crosses in the middle of the wood for the corners of the caissons. Finally, certain clues have made it possible to suggest the steps involved in lifting the wooden structures of the caissons.…”

Perspectives of health workers on the facilitators and barriers to antiretroviral therapy adherence following intensive adherence counseling in Northern Uganda by Humphrey Beja, Daisy Nakayiwa, Innocent Ocitti Owachgiu, Micheal Tonny Edek, Veronic Kobusinge, Oscar Akaki, Samson Udho

“…The perceived facilitators and barriers to ART adherence following IAC emerged as six key themes under the subdivisions of the three domains of the COM-B framework: cognitive and emotional processes, physical and practical skills, accessibility and material resources, social relationships and cultural dynamics, cognitive beliefs and aspirations, and finally, emotional and subconscious drivers. These themes were identified as either facilitators or barriers to ART adherence following IAC depending on the lenses of interpretation.ConclusionsThis study offers a multidimensional insight into the facilitators and barriers to ART adherence following IAC and how the behavior influencing ART adherence can be optimized. …”

Real-World Parkinson’s Hand Tremor Detection Using Ensemble Learning Techniques by Sungwook Hur, Jieming Zhang, Moon-Hyun Kim, Tai-Myoung Chung

“…We then exploit walking periodicity to combine time and frequency domain features, and design two new accelerometer-based features, Average Peak Interval Time (APIT) and Average Peak Frequency (APF), which capture the characteristic amplitude and frequency patterns of PD tremors during natural walking movements. Finally, unlike traditional approaches that use uniform feature weighting, our proposed variance adaptive AdaBoost (VA-AdaBoost) algorithm uniquely incorporates accelerometer signal variance to adaptively weight samples for feature training. …”
