We have developed the Multiple Sclerosis Patient Data Ontology (MSPD) to represent data from the patient data registry of the New York State Multiple Sclerosis Consortium (NYSMSC). MSPD is an application ontology that provides a set of classes for the annotation of both clinical measures and patient reported outcome data obtained from the enrollment forms used by the NYSMSC. To do so, we have a...

With the increasing development and use of ontologies in the biomedical domain, opportunities for their utilization in applications and workflows are being created. In this paper, we discuss how the Ontology for Biomedical Investigations (OBI) can be enriched to provide for annotation of Web services. The methodology includes designing ontology analysis diagrams for Web services and analyzing t...

the work presented in this paper investigates the causes of size effects in structural-concrete members. it isbased on the use of a finite-element model found to yield realistic predictions of structural-concrete behavior in allcases investigated to date. in fact, the previous use of this model in investigations of size effects in reinforced-concretebeams indicated that such effects reflect the...

The majority of structural components and parts operate under complex stress conditions. Investigations into the behaviour of the magnetic characteristics of engineering materials under the action elastic and plastic strains provides a basis for monitoring loaded structural components.

building pounding occurs between two adjacent buildings with small gap or without sufficient separation distance. it leads to damage buildings during earthquake due to impact. many researchers have investigated building pounding based on impact force reduction and energy dissipation increase, when two buildings collide with each other. in numerical investigations, using specific link element, i...
