Base Isolation of Buildings with Curved Surface Sliders: Basic Design Criteria and Critical Issues by Fernando Saitta, Paolo Clemente, Giacomo Buffarini, Giovanni Bongiovanni, Antonello Salvatori, Cristian Grossi

“…Curved surface sliders are being used more and more in the seismic isolation of buildings. They are preferred not only because of their lower cost with respect to elastomeric isolators but also of their technical characteristics, such as the fact that the value of the period of vibration is independent of the mass and the automatic coincidence between the gravity mass center of the superstructure and the stiffness center of the isolation system. …”

A hybrid model for traffic flow and crowd dynamics with random individual properties by Veronika Schleper

“…The same model is shown to be valid also in traffic flow situations, where for instance the statistical variation of preferred maximum speeds can be considered. The model involves explicit bounds on the state variables, such that a special Riemann solver is derived that is proved to respect the state constraints. …”

Research progress on coronary slow flow or no-reflow of coronary heart disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention surgery by Mengdi Wang, Min Zeng

“…Coronary heart disease (CHD), a prevalent cardiovascular disorder, poses a significant threat to human health.Particularly, ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is associated with a higher mortality rate.Timely and effective revascularization of the culprit vessels is crucial.Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a preferred and critical treatment modality for STEMI patients, effectively addressing vascular obstruction.However, a subset of patients experiences coronary slow flow (CSF) or no-reflow (NR) postoperatively, which severely impacts their prognosis.This article provides a comprehensive review of the definition, diagnosis, epidemiology, predictive factors, mechanisms, and treatment of CSF/NR, aiming to offer guidance for the clinical management of these complications following PCI in CHD patients.…”

Hidden Markov model fused with staying time for personalized recommendation by Sheng-zong LIU, Xiao-ping FAN, Zhi-fang LIAO, Jia HU

“…Static model in the recommendation system often regards the user's interest as changeless,which is inconsis-tent with the actual to a certain extent.With regards to this,a hidden Markov model fused with staying time for personal-ized recommendation (ctqHMM) based on the HMM dynamic model is proposed.The proposed model employs the transfer of the implicit state variables to simulate the changes of Web users' interests,and uses staying time to describe the level of interest to the specific preference and the importance of the recommended pages.Then,a user's clustering method based on the stationary distribution of the ctqHMM is also proposed and applied into the recommending systems.Experiment results on real Web server access log data show the encouraging performance of the proposed method over the state-of-the-arts.…”
