Random Finite Element Analysis and Random Factor response Mechanism for Geocell-reinforced Soil Retaining Walls by ZHANG Bingbing, SONG Fei

“…The random field analysis method established in this study is able to capture the uncertainty of engineering behavior more comprehensively and provides a more reliable prediction tool for the design of reinforced soil structures, which helps to optimize the engineering safety reserve and reduce the risk associated with uncertainty.ConclusionsThe results show that: the random envelope range of horizontal displacement and vertical settlement of reinforced earth retaining wall decreases with the decrease of height of reinforced earth retaining wall (points H-1~H-5) and away from the retaining wall face (points V-1~V-7); the decrease of fluctuation range or coefficient of variation reduces the dispersion of the calculation results, in which the cumulative distribution probability of the parameter <italic>φ</italic>₀ is closer to the random distribution results, while the parameters <italic>n</italic> and <italic>P</italic>_Mt are with the deterministic results The effect of vertical fluctuation range on the failure probability is more significant than that of horizontal direction. …”

Evaluating risk stratification scoring systems to predict mortality in patients with COVID-19 by Naveen Garg, Kelly Chu, Batool Alharahsheh, Payal Guha

“…Background The COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated efficient and accurate triaging of patients for more effective allocation of resources and treatment.Objectives The objectives are to investigate parameters and risk stratification tools that can be applied to predict mortality within 90 days of hospital admission in patients with COVID-19.Methods A literature search of original studies assessing systems and parameters predicting mortality of patients with COVID-19 was conducted using MEDLINE and EMBASE.Results 589 titles were screened, and 76 studies were found investigating the prognostic ability of 16 existing scoring systems (area under the receiving operator curve (AUROC) range: 0.550–0.966), 38 newly developed COVID-19-specific prognostic systems (AUROC range: 0.6400–0.9940), 15 artificial intelligence (AI) models (AUROC range: 0.840–0.955) and 16 studies on novel blood parameters and imaging.Discussion Current scoring systems generally underestimate mortality, with the highest AUROC values found for APACHE II and the lowest for SMART-COP. …”
