Abstract This paper focuses on the probabilistic analysis of Intensity Measures ( IM s) and Engineering Demand Parameters EDP in context earthquake-induced ground motions. Several statistical properties, which are desirable s when they used to predict s, have been analysed. Specifically, efficiency, sufficiency steadfastness quantified for a set with respect two s: maximum inter-storey drift ra...

We present a method for motion estimation using ordinal measures. Ordinal measures are based on relative ordering of intensity values in a image region called rank permutation. While popular measures like the sum-of squared-difference ( S S D ) and normalized correlation (NCC) rely on linearity between corresponding intensity values, ordinal measures only require them to be monotonically relate...

We present a method for motion estimation using ordinal measures. Ordinal measures are based on relative ordering of intensity values in a image region called rank permutation. While popular measures like the sum-of-squared-diierence (SSD) and normalized correlation (NCC) rely on linearity between corresponding intensity values, ordinal measures only require them to be monon-tonically related s...

Destabilizing events – whether they are political expression events, politically motivated attacks, disruptive state acts, or some other manifestation of discontent – can vary enormously in their intensity. It is important to capture differences in intensity because they can affect the impact of seemingly similar events or the reactions of others to those events. The SPEED project's Societal St...

results the results of repeated measures test revealed a significant reduction (p < 0.001) in pms symptoms. overall, the mean score of pms intensity in the intervention group was 42.56 + 15.73 before the intervention and changed to 32.72 ± 13.24, 30.02 ± 12.08, and 13.90 ± 10.22 at the three consecutive months after the intervention, respectively (p = 0.001). conclusions m. officinalis capsules...
