Exploring the active and network centralities in Metropolitan Athens: The organic vs. the planned form by Yannis Paraskevopoulos, Stefanos Tsigdinos, Maria Pigaki

“…In this article, we aim to address this gap by the exploring the different centrality aspects of Metropolitan Athens and more specifically by (a) providing a reproducible methodology for identifying active and network centralities, as defined by land-use pattern and space syntax respectively, (b) exploring the geospatial signature of the planned and organic form of Metropolitan Athens as framed by its institutional spatial framework as well as its active and network centrality, respectively, (c) investigating the role of network centrality, in shaping the existing active centrality pattern. …”

Effect of Mirror Image Therapy Combined with Whole Body Vibration Training on Unilateral Spatial Neglect after Stroke by YANG Keqin, ZHANG Li, ZHANG Chunyan, CHEN Chengcheng, QI Hui, ZHAO Bin

“…The Barthel index (BI) was used to measure the self-care ability of patients.ResultsBefore treatment, there was no significant difference in CBS, MMSE, FMA and BI scores among the three groups (<italic>P</italic>&gt;0.05). After 8 weeks of treatment, the CBS scores of the three groups were significantly lower than those before treatment, however MMSE, FMA and BI scores were significantly higher than those before the treatment, but the combined group was better than the mirror image group and the whole body vibration training group, and the difference was statistically significant respectively (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05).ConclusionMirror image therapy combined with whole body vibration training can effectively improve the degree of spatial neglect and cognitive dysfunction in patients with unilateral spatial neglect after stroke, and enhance upper limb motor function and self-care ability.…”

LOAD EQUIVALENCE TEST METHOD FOR FATIGUE LIFE OF MULTI-SITE-DAMAGE LARGE SIZE STRUCTURE PART by TIAN HongLei, SUN WeiGuang, YANG WenChao, XIE LiYang

“…Owing to the dispersion of material and structure property,the fatigue life of a structure part depends on all its high stress sites. A multi-site damage structure is a series system with many weak links（ damage sites） in probability sense.Therefore,the fatigue life（ a random variable） of a complex structure part with multiple damage sites will be less than the life of the weakest site on the part. …”

“…It reveals the independent and interactive effects of its influencing factors. We found that: (1) Despite the overall positive trend observed in TNP’s ecosystem health, the trend remains relatively weak, and the health level predominantly dominated by the fragile level during the study period. (2) The spatial variation in ecosystem health within TNP was pronounced, with a noticeable increase moving from the northwest to the southeast area. …”

Crack detection in beam-like structures by nonlinear harmonic identification by Paolo Casini, Fabrizio Vestroni, Oliviero Giannini

“…Since the amplitude of these harmonics depends on the position and the depth of the crack, an identification technique based on such a dependency can be pursued: the main advantage of this method relies on the use of different modes of the structure, each sensitive to the damage position in its peculiar way. In this study the identification method is detailed through numerical examples tested on structures of increasing complexity to evaluate the applicability of the method to engineering applications. …”
