QUANTIFICATION OF THE SEISMIC BEHAVIOR OF A STEEL TRANSMISSION TOWER SUBJECTED TO SINGLE AND REPEATED SEISMIC EXCITATIONS USING VULNERABILITY FUNCTION AND COLLAPSE MARGIN RATIO

Quantification of the Seismic Behavior of a Steel Transmission Tower Subjected to Single and Repeated Seismic Excitations Using Vulnerability Function and Collapse Margin Ratio

Transmission towers are a vital lifeline for modern living and are crucial structures that must remain operational even after a seismic event.However, the towers are largely designed to withstand the effects of wind alone and not earthquakes, and the seismic influences on tower design and construction have hitherto been ignored.The purpose of this

Modern simulation utilities for genetic analysis

Abstract Background Statistical geneticists employ simulation to estimate the power of proposed studies, test new analysis tools, and evaluate properties of causal models.Although there are existing trait simulators, there is ample room for modernization.For example, most phenotype simulators are limited to Gaussian traits or traits transformable t

Feasibility study to examine discrepancy rates in prespecified and reported outcomes in articles submitted to The BMJ

Objectives Adding, omitting or changing prespecified outcomes can result in bias because it increases the potential for unacknowledged or post hoc revisions of the planned analyses.Journals have adopted initiatives such as requiring the prospective registration of trials and the submission of study protocols to promote the transparency of reporting
