A Seismic Demand Model for Bridges Based on IM and EDP Parameter Matching and Bidirectional Optimization
The accuracy of seismic demand models in seismic vulnerability analysis of structures or components mainly depends on the seismic intensity measures (IMs) and engineering demand parameters (EDPs).This paper proposes a novel method to obtain the optimal seismic demand model for the seismic vulnerability analysis of bridges.The method obtains the IM-
Decreasing the bandwidth of linear and nonlinear Thomson scattering radiation for electron bunches with a finite energy spread
Relative narrow bandwidth-high energy radiation can be produced through Thomson scattering, where highly relativistic electrons collide with a laser pulse.The bandwidth of such a source is determined, among others factors, by the bandwidth of the laser pulse and the energy spread of the electrons.Here we investigate how the bandwidth of Brake Linin
‘There’s no waiting list, just press play’: listeners' experiences of mental-health-related podcasts
Introduction: The activity of podcasting has increased exponentially but little is known about the qualitative listener experiences of podcasts related to mental health.The aim of this study was to understand what listeners of mental health podcasts obtain from this medium.Participants were asked questions relating to mental health literacy, stigma
