Machine Learning-Based Methods for the Seismic Damage Classification of RC Buildings by Sung Hei Luk

“…This paper aims to investigate the feasibility of machine learning methods for the vulnerability assessment of buildings and structures. Traditionally, the seismic performance of buildings and structures is determined through a non-linear time–history analysis, which is an accurate but time-consuming process. …”

A Detailed Analysis of the Milky Way Warp Based on Classical Cepheids by Xiaoyue Zhou, Xiaodian Chen, Licai Deng, Shu Wang, Jiyu Wang, Jianxing Zhang

“…Classical Cepheids (CCs) are important probes for the large-scale warp structure of the Milky Way. Using Gaia Data Release 3 CCs, we establish an optimal time-dependent warp model, where the warp height increases with radius following a power law, the line of nodes (LONs) exhibit linear twisting with radius, following a leading spiral pattern, and the LONs undergo prograde evolution over time. …”
