the paper will provide a summary of all lifelines performance in this strong earthquake. the paper will discuss the damage, emergency response, and recovery of electric power, telecommunication, transportation (roads and bridges), seaports, airports, water and wastewater, and their facilities. the impact as a result of the lifelines service interruption will be discussed; most important is the ...

This paper presents a detailed study in the critical region around Curie temperature to determine universality class of Sm2Ni17 intermetallic compound. The magnetocaloric effect has been studied on basis experimental measurements magnetization. Maxwell’s relation and phenomenological model are employed find change magnetic entropy. compound variation entropy with moderate maximum wide range ope...

Enterprise systems have the potential to bring immense benefits to organizations, but are often seen as falling short of that promise. This paper reports an on-going research project that relates the fit between enterprise systems and the nature of intraorganizational workflow interdependencies. Using task-technology fit theory, we propose that enterprise systems are best suited to organization...

The study material comprised 3889 foetuses of both sexes, aged 20-42 weeks and focused on developmental interdependence between the weight of the internal organs and their relation to selected somatic features during the prenatal period. The study also attempted to distinguish potential sex-related differences in the degree of statistical interdependence between the analysed variables. As a res...

The concept of surrogates allows testing results from time series analysis against specified null hypotheses. In application to bivariate model dynamics we here compare different types of surrogates, each designed to test against a different null hypothesis, e.g., an underlying bivariate linear stochastic process. Two measures that aim at a characterization of interdependence between nonlinear ...

The self-construal is one of the most significant cultural markers in humans. Accordingly, mapping relationship between brain activity and contributes to understanding nature such psychological traits. Existing studies have mainly focused on static functional activities specific regions. However, evidence has suggested that connectivity (FC) network dynamic over time high-level processes might ...

The disease epilepsy is related to hypersynchronous activity of networks of neurons. While acute epileptic seizures are the most extreme manifestation of this hypersynchronous activity, an elevated level of interdependence of neuronal dynamics is thought to persist also during the seizure-free interval. In multichannel recordings from brain areas involved in the epileptic process, this interdep...

Yes we can: A dyadic investigation of cognitive interdependence, relationship communication, and optimal behavioral health outcomes among HIV serodiscordant same-sex male couples by Kristine E. Gamarel Advisor: Professor Sarit A. Golub Research suggests that couples who adopt a "we" orientation in relation to illness demonstrate greater resiliency and an increased capacity to cope with stressor...
