As the supply of commodities forms essential lifelines for modern society, commodity price fluctuations can significantly impact operation and sustainable development macroeconomics, production activities, people’s security well-being. The trading market also plays a pivotal role in competition international industrial chain industry. method bibliometrics was used this study to trace research o...

A simple evaluation method of building resilience is proposed, and the elastic-plastic high-rise buildings evaluated under resonant long-duration ground motions. The concept availability incorporated into model resilience, which was proposed in previous paper. Not only in-building components but also external factors such as lifelines redundancy facility systems are considered model. Based on m...

The aim of the current study is to investigate which major life events are associated with transitions into and out volunteering over course and, especially, why these associations exist. Social Production Function theory used derive hypotheses, tested using longitudinal data (adult subsample) from Lifelines. Associations between (a) volunteer take-up, nonvolunteer sample ( N = 59,773) (b) cess...

Abstract The seismic vulnerability of public buildings must be estimated using structural or non-structural parameters. Scientists ought to investigate these factors for the estimation and analysis lifelines such as wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Although efforts have been made in past, serious operational parameters are not enough defined. This study considers amount shortening supposed ...

OBJECTIVES Occupational exposures are important and possibly modifiable contributors to the global burden of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Exposure to vapours, gases, dusts and fumes (VGDF) has been associated with a two- to threefold higher COPD risk. Less is known about effects of occupational exposure to pesticides and solvents. In the current study, we assessed if VGDF, pest...
