    Validation and Application of Ground Motion Simulations in Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering

    No full text
    Despite the expansion of recorded ground-motion datasets, a particular lack remains for earthquakes with large magnitudes and site-rupture distances. This lack of data poses challenges for making reliable risk assessments in performance-based earthquake engineering. Ground motion simulations offer an alternative to recorded ground motions as they enable the simulation of site-specific ground motions for rare earthquake events. Recent advances in simulation techniques and improvements in available computational resources have increased the potential advantages of ground motion simulations in engineering applications. However, to gain confidence in synthetic ground motions and promote their use, the simulation models need to go through a validation process to prove their consistency with natural observations. Additionally, practical frameworks should be proposed to illustrate and facilitate the use of these simulations in solving engineering problems. For this purpose, this study focuses on the utilization and validation of ground motion simulations for specific engineering applications in performance-based earthquake engineering with three main goals: (1) advancing the utilization of ground motion simulation methods by developing and gearing them towards practical applications, (2) developing confidence in the use of simulated ground motions through comparison and validation against recorded ground motions, and (3) identifying important characteristics of extreme ground motions in hazard assessment using site-specific simulations and statistical methods. Findings from this study could benefit ground motion modelers in improving the existing simulation models, seismologists in accelerating the development of simulation-based hazard maps, and structural engineers in reducing the computational effort of utilizing simulated ground motions in seismic risk assessment of structures

    Transparency of Outcome Reporting and Trial Registration of Randomized Controlled Trials Published in the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology

    No full text
    Confidence that randomized controlled trial (RCT) results accurately reflect intervention effectiveness depends on proper trial conduct and the accuracy and completeness of published trial reports. The Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology (JCCP) is the primary trials journal amongst American Psychological Association (APA) journals. The objectives of this study were to review RCTs recently published in JCCP to evaluate (1) adequacy of primary outcome analysis definitions; (2) registration status; and, (3) among registered trials, adequacy of outcome registrations. Additionally, we compared results from JCCP to findings from a recent study of top psychosomatic and behavioral medicine journals

    O funcionamento da didascália em “O Judeu”, de Bernardo Santareno

    The&nbsp;jew, by Bernardo&nbsp;Santareno, is an authentic allegory&nbsp;about oppression.&nbsp;Starting from the story of Antonio José da Silva, the&nbsp;jew,&nbsp;executed by the Inquisition in the eighteenth century, the author&nbsp;makes a vehement criticism of Portugal under Salazar. He also&nbsp;makes bitterly evident the inefficiency of the struggle against&nbsp;obscurantism which, one way or the other, will always exist.&nbsp;Within this context, the&nbsp;didascalies&nbsp;play an important role,&nbsp;specially&nbsp;if the&nbsp;buiding&nbsp;up of an ideology is considered.&nbsp;&nbsp;O Judeu, de Bernardo Santareno, é uma&nbsp;autêntica parábola&nbsp;sobre a opressão. Partindo da história de Antônio José da&nbsp;Silva, o Judeu, executado pela Inquisição no século XVIII, faz&nbsp;O autor veemente crítica ao Portugal salazarista. Evidencia,&nbsp;também, com amargor, a ineficácia da luta contra o obscurantismo, que sob uma ou outra forma, sempre existirá. Neste&nbsp;contexto, as&nbsp;didascálias&nbsp;têm papel fundamental, sobretudo se&nbsp;considerada a construção de uma ideologia.&nbsp

    O profissional do Direito e a Palavra

    From situations that occur daily within the departments of&nbsp;the Judicial Power, the author calls the attention of the reader&nbsp;to the article 156 of the Code of Civil&nbsp;Process which makes the&nbsp;usage of the Portuguese language compulsory in all acts&nbsp;and&nbsp;terms of a process. He reminds us that it is the duty of all&nbsp;citizens to care for the good usage of the language.&nbsp;But&nbsp;the&nbsp;lawyer is the great professional of speech, and speech linked to&nbsp;Justice has to promote the welfare of men and of society. In&nbsp;terms of linguistics, speech generates&nbsp;truth which&nbsp;is why it&nbsp;requires a minutely chosen vocabulary. Speech also generates&nbsp;“beauty which is absolutely connected to truth, being tropes and&nbsp;other rhetorical skills only complements.Partindo de situações vivenciadas no dia-a-dia pelos órgãos&nbsp;do Poder Judiciário, a autora remete o leitor para o artigo 156&nbsp;do Código de Processo Civil, que obriga o uso da Língua&nbsp;Portuguesa em todos os atos e termos do processo. Lembra que&nbsp;é dever de todo cidadão zelar pelo vernáculo. Mas o advogado&nbsp;é o grande profissional da palavra. E a palavra, vinculada à&nbsp;Justiça, tem de estar a serviço do bem do homem e da sociedade.&nbsp;Lingüísticamente&nbsp;falando, a palavra cria a verdade, que implica&nbsp;precisão vocabular. Cria, também, a beleza, que é, do ponto de&nbsp;vista&nbsp;lingüístico, inseparável da verdade, sendo os tropos e&nbsp;demais artifícios retóricos meros complementos.&nbsp
