Correlations between Spectral Parameters of Earthquakes and Damage Intensity in Different RC Frames
In recent decades many researchers have studied on the damage assessment of structures after a seismic event. To assess the damage of structures under an earthquake, it is so important to study the correlations between earthquake parameters and damages of the structures. A lot of seismic parameters have been defined by researchers to characterize an earthquake. Spectral parameters of an earthqu...
متن کاملVisual Decisions in the Presence of Measurement and Stimulus Correlations
Humans and other animals base their decisions on noisy sensory input. Much work has been devoted to understanding the computations that underlie such decisions. The problem has been studied in a variety of tasks and with stimuli of differing complexity. However, how the statistical structure of stimuli, along with perceptual measurement noise, affects perceptual judgments is not well understood...
متن کاملEffect of magnetic disorder and strong electron correlations on the thermodynamics of CrN
We use first-principles calculations to study the effect of magnetic disorder and electron correlations on the structural and thermodynamic properties of CrN. We illustrate the usability of a special quasirandom structure supercell treatment of the magnetic disorder by comparing with coherent potential approximation calculations and with a complementary magnetic sampling method. The need of a t...
متن کاملOccurrence of widespread motor-unit firing correlations in muscle contractions: their role in the generation of tremor and time-varying voluntary force.
The firing behavior of motor units (MUs) of the first dorsal interrosseus muscle of the hand was examined during both constant-force and varying-force (sinusoidal or broadband random variations) isometric contractions in healthy adults. The emphasis was on the analysis of MU synchrony with an efficient and sensitive method. In static contractions, widespread and strong MU firing correlations, w...
متن کاملUnfamiliar faces are not faces: evidence from a matching task.
It is difficult to match two images of the same unfamiliar face, even under good conditions. Here, we show that there are large individual differences on unfamiliar face matching. Initially, we tried to predict these using tests of visual short-term memory, cognitive style, and perceptual speed. Moderate correlations were produced by various components of these tests. In three other experiments...
متن کاملSpearman correlations of .60 are not poor.
For many years, therapists have assumed a relationship between impairment and disability. More recently, researchers have begun to examine this assumption. "Motor Function and Activities of Daily Living Assessments: A Study of Three Tests for Persons With Hemiplegia" by Filiatrault, Arsenault, Dutil, and Bourbonnais (AjOT, September 1991, pp. 806-810) is a laudable example of such an examinatio...
