Understanding the spatial structure of a megaregion with urban and rural areas is crucial for promoting sustainable urbanization urban–rural integration. Compared to city network (or areas), however, fewer studies focus on connecting or comparison regional structures between networks. Using weighted daily mobility flows from massive mobile-phone signaling data, this study constructs an urban–ur...

This research performs a parametric study based on Equivalent Single Degree of Freedom (ESDOF) models for simplified seismic analysis unreinforced masonry (URM) structures. is necessary action due to the fact that it not affordable model and analyze populations buildings by using detailed continuum-based during regional damage loss estimation studies. Hence, this focuses sensitivity major struc...

The Unreinforced Wall (URM) elements that are most susceptible to out-of-plane failure are wall elements of the upper storeys where the accelerations are largest. In modern URM buildings with reinforced concrete slabs, the out-of-plane mechanism involves typically a storey-high wall element, which is subjected at its base and top to the accelerations of the corresponding floor slabs. The accele...

Masonry often requires strengthening to withstand against extreme actions such as earthquakes, cyclones and flooding. Recently, new methods have been developed strengthen masonry, fabric reinforced cementitious matrixes fibre polymers. However, other systems welded wire meshing (WWM), reticulatus plastering with matrixes/mortar (CP) also practiced reinforce conversely no systematic design guide...

Abstract Recent studies have shown how the variability of material properties affects nonlinear behaviour unreinforced masonry (URM) walls. To preserve historical built heritage, variations in structural capacity URM buildings associated to aging and deterioration should be quickly predicted, by integrating with health monitoring risk management. In this study, relationships between features ar...

Marine conservation sciences have traditionally been, and remain, non-diverse work environments with many barriers to justice, equity, diversity, inclusion (JEDI). These disproportionately affect entry of early career scientists practitioners limit the success marine professionals from under-represented, marginalized, overburdened groups. groups specifically include women, LGBTQ+, Black, Indige...

Theoretical and experimental studies on loadbearing masonry walls have shown the significant influence of axial load level (i.e., precompression) wall aspect ratio in-plane lateral resistance. Nonetheless, impact precompression spatial variability material properties needs to be further investigated at scale with openings. This study presents a stochastic analysis unreinforced (URM) pier–spandr...

Introdução: garantir o acesso e Uso Racional de Medicamentos (URM) na Atenção Básica à Saúde (ABS) é essencial para a resolutividade dos sistemas saúde. No Sistema Único Saúde, Assistência Farmacêutica (AF) foi conduzida com enfoque logístico, objetivando somente disponibilidade medicamentos usuário, que insuficiente URM. Objetivo: descrever abordagem dada AF pelos gestores ABS as consequências...
