Analytical study of seismic durability and its destructive effects on structures and distribution of accelerated seismic durability of Iran

Background and objective: Experience with past earthquakes and numerical analysis confirms that the durability of strong earth motion, significantly can affect the amount of failure of civil engineering systems. However, if the durability is related to a parameter which describes the intensity of the earth's motion, such as maximum velocity or maximum acceleration or spectral acceleration, then...

Collusion and Durability

We develop a model to show that cartels that produce goods with lower durability are easier to sustain implicitly. This observation generates the following results: 1) implicit cartels have an incentive to produce goods with an inefficiently low level of durability; 2) a monopoly or explicit cartel is welfare superior to an implicit cartel; 3) welfare is non–monotonic in the number of firms; 4)...

Durability of carotid endarterectomy.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We sought to determine the incidence of recurrent stenosis after carotid endarterectomy. METHODS One thousand consecutive carotid endarterectomy patients were followed prospectively. The surgery was performed in a standard fashion. Cerebral protection was provided with intraoperative electroencephalographic monitoring and selective shunting. All arteriotomies were repai...
