Abstract:

Falls are the second leading cause of accidental or unintentional injury deaths worldwide. Many factors contribute to an increased risk of falling, such as age, disease state, and medication use. The purpose of the current investigation was to compare an electronic medical record (EMR) fall risk calculator, the theoretical Timed Up and Go (T-TUG), which utilizes gender, age, BMI, and prescription and OTC drug counts as variables, to other established performance- and paper-based assessments of fall risk. The National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project (NSHAP) Database was used to develop t

Abstract:

Concrete-filled buckling restrained braces (BRBs) was first developed in 1988 in Tokyo, Japan, to prevent the steel plates in the core portion from buckling, leading the steel core to exhibiting a more stable and fully hysteretic loop than conventional steel braces. However, past studies have shown that buckling restrained braced frames (BRBFs) have a large residual deformation after a median or high seismic event due to steel’s residual strain. In order to address this issue, innovative self-centering SMA braces are proposed and installed in the originally unbraced bays in existing BRBFs to b

Abstract:

Steel framed structures constitute a considerable proportion of residential and commercial structures in earthquake prone regions. In such structures, typically, masonry infills are implemented as walls and partitions. However, in common practice, the influence of the infill panels on the performance and resistance of the building is mostly ignored, not just at the design stage, but also during assessment. Despite the possible strength enhancement that infill panels can bring to the structure for modest earthquakes, they may put the building at high risk of heavy damage if their impact is over

One of the major concerns in earthquake disaster resilience is understanding the risk posed by existing buildings that are not conformant with modern building codes.

For some types of buildings, such as unreinforced masonry, the risks are so obviously large, that mandatory laws have been enacted to assess and retrofit the buildings. However, in other cases, such as with non-ductile concrete buildings or older tall steel buildings, the risks and mitigation strat

Abstract:

In an era of rapid technological and economic change, public school systems are challenged to find new ways to engage today's student and increase student learning. Clearly it is difficult to create and implement a "one-size-fits-all" educational model for all students in the United States. However, current research indicates that increases in student achievement may be achieved by implementing educational approaches built around active inquiry, authentic learning, and project/performance demonstrations of student achievement (DeLorenzo, 2012; Haystead, 2010; Marzano, et al., 2001, M

Abstract:

Radar Sounders (RSs) are active sensors that transmit in the nadir electromagnetic (EM) waves with a low frequency in the range of High-Frequency and Very-High-Frequency and relatively wide bandwidth. Such a signal penetrates the surface and propagates in the subsurface, interacting with dielectric interfaces. This interaction yields to backscattered echoes detectable by the antenna that are coherently summed and stored in radargrams. RSs are used for planetary exploration and Earth observation for their value in investigating subsurface geological structures and processes, which reveal the pa
