The optimal and smart design of nonlinear building structures with without passive dampers subjected to earthquake loading is great concern in the structural structures. research started around 1980 many investigations have been conducted. A comprehensive review on this subject made article. After description essential features problem under ground motions, analysis types optimization problems ...

Fundamental to amassing a lexicon of relational terms (i.e., verbs, prepositions) is the ability to abstract and categorize spatial relations such as a figure (e.g., boy) moving along a path (e.g., around the barn). Three studies examine how infants learn to categorize path over changes in manner, or how an action is performed (e.g., running vs. crawling). Experiment 1 (n = 60) finds that 10- t...

Visual categorization is the brain computation that reduces high-dimensional information in the visual environment into a smaller set of meaningful categories. An important problem in visual neuroscience is to identify the visual information that the brain must represent and then use to categorize visual inputs. Here we introduce a new mathematical formalism-termed space-by-time manifold decomp...

OBJECTIVE To semi-automatically induce semantic categories of eligibility criteria from text and to automatically classify eligibility criteria based on their semantic similarity. DESIGN The UMLS semantic types and a set of previously developed semantic preference rules were utilized to create an unambiguous semantic feature representation to induce eligibility criteria categories through hie...

BACKGROUND Aim of this study was to verify a systematic and practical categorization system that allows dynamic classification of pediatric DPLD irrespective of completeness of patient data. METHODS The study was based on 2322 children submitted to the kids-lung-register between 1997 and 2012. Of these children 791 were assigned to 12 DPLD categories, more than 2/3 belonged to categories mani...

BACKGROUND Wrist flexion contracture is a common pathology which presents secondary to distal radius fractures. Joint stability, restoration and early mobilization are frequently achieved through surgical treatment after such an injury. The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the initial effect of dynamic splinting on wrist extension (active range of motion), in both surgical an...

This study establishes a compartment model for the categorized COVID-19 risk area. In this model, compartments represent administrative regions at different transmission levels instead of individuals in traditional epidemic models. The county-level are partitioned into High-risk (H), Medium-risk (M), and Low-risk (L) areas dynamically according to current number confirmed cases. These communica...
