Unanchored steel storage tanks are used in industrial plants to store oil and other petrochemical liquids. In a major earthquake, such may sustain different types of damage, including elasto-plastic buckling the shape an elephant's foot, which is object research. The methodology introduced this paper consists cloud-based 1D site response analysis (SRA) pushover-based seismic performance assessm...

1.1. Overview of Data Block Descriptor Usage The SRA Run DATA_BLOCK is intended for use to convey information to archive loaders. Once the data have been loaded into the Archive and converted into an SRA native object, the information in the DATA_BLOCK descriptor is no longer relevant to users of the data. The DATA_BLOCK is optional in the schema, but is required for all RUN XML documents used ...

Using the risk measure CV aR in financial analysis has become more and more popular recently. In this paper we apply CV aR for portfolio optimization. The problem is formulated as a two-stage stochastic programming model, and the SRA algorithm, a recently developed heuristic algorithm, is applied for minimizing CV aR.

SRA used a language-independent, domain-independent, multipurpose text understanding system as the core of the M UC-5 system for extraction from English and Japanese joint venture texts, SRA 's NLP core systelll, SOLOMON, has been under development since 1986. It has been used for a variety of domains, and was aimed from the start to be language-independent, domain-independent, and application-...

A double difference (DD) method was employed to estimate vertical land motion (VLM) at 26 tide gauge (TG) sites with record lengths of least ten years across the Texas Gulf Coast, USA, between 1993 and 2020. In method, first conducted by coupling nearby correlated TG stations remove sea-level variability for both satellite radar altimetry (SRA) data. Upon completion difference, a second perform...

Abstract A standard assumption for causal inference about the joint effects of time-varying treatment is that one has measured sufficient covariates to ensure within covariate strata, subjects are exchangeable across observed values, also known as ‘sequential randomization (SRA)’. SRA often criticized it requires accurately measure all confounders. Realistically, can rarely capture confounders ...

Construction operations are hazardous, leading to thousands of accidents, injuries, and fatalities annually. Safety risk assessment (SRA) is a key component necessary respond hazards effectively. Individuals have different perceptions the riskiness construction hazards, studies shown that sociodemographic factors among employees can alter their SRA skills. However, role in US industry has been ...

This study examines the consequences on cerebral polyamine biosynthesis of increases and decreases in cerebral methylation. Increases were elicited by administering the convulsant agent methionine sulfoximine (MSO) and decreases by elevating in vivo the cerebral levels of the methylation inhibitor S-adenosylhomocysteine. Following the intraventricular (i.vt.) administration of one of the two po...

BACKGROUND Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) improves left ventricular (LV) function and induces LV remodeling, and it is an established therapy for advanced heart failure with prolonged QRS duration. One third of patients will not benefit from this invasive therapy. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether left atrial (LA) strain imaging (ε) parameters could help in ...

De novo DNA methylation and the maintenance of DNA methylation in asymmetrical sequence contexts is catalyzed by homologous proteins in plants (DRM2) and animals (DNMT3a/b). In plants, targeting of DRM2 depends on small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), although the molecular details are still unclear. Here, we show that two SRA-domain proteins (SUVH9 and SUVH2) are also essential for DRM2-mediated de...
