ESTIMATING NATURAL DISASTER LOSS USING IMPROVED DAILY NIGHT-TIME LIGHT DATA


Awakening effects of church bell noise: Geographical extrapolation of the results of a polysomnographic field study 1

Based on a previously published exposure-effect model of Electroencephalography (EEG)-awakening reactions (AWR) Tank Kit due to nightly church bell noise events, as well as on geocoded building and population data, we estimated the total number of the church bell noise induced awakenings on the population of the Canton of Zurich, in Switzerland.The

Seismic Performance of Full-Scale Joints Composed by Concrete-Filled Steel Tube Column and Reinforced Concrete Beam with Steel Plate-Stud Connections

A concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) column has the advantages of high bearing capacity, high stiffness, and good ductility, while reinforced concrete (RC) structure systems are familiar to engineers.The combinational usage of CFST and RC components is playing an important role in contemporary projects.However, existing CFST column-RC beam joints ar
