Peak value estimation for wind-induced lateral accelerations in a high-rise building
No full textThis paper discusses the uncertainty when estimating extreme values of wind-induced lateral accelerations in a high-rise building based on wind-tunnel measurements. The acceleration signals for an aeroelastic scale model under ten different velocities and three different wind angles were processed to evaluate the extreme acceleration values. The empirical cumulative distribution function (CDF) and probability density function (PDF) trends of the peaks were estimated and compared with the analytical models, which showed satisfactory fits. An effort was made for the best fit for the empirical CDF through the numerical expansion of the peak set using Polynomial Chaos Expansion (PCE). It was confirmed that in this case, the lack of a reliable fit was not due to the number of peaks. In addition, analytical models of the Gaussian and non-Gaussian processes were applied to estimate the extreme values using the entire process and the sub-processes, and this paper compares and discusses the results. Finally, the variability of the extreme acceleration values estimated using a total of ten different methods is discussed

Sichuan province: 1 ♀ (CHH, dissected), Liangshan Yi Autonomous Region, Muli County, Liziping, 2700m, 5.V. 2014, X.-D. Yang leg.. Remarks. The female holotype was collected from Yulongxueshan whilst the male paratypes were collected from Ludian, thus the association of male and female requires a confirmation from more material. In a recent expedition made by the first author, specimens of both sexes were collected from both localities. An examination of male and female genitalia proved the original association of male and female to be correct. Distribution.

When Top-Down Meets Bottom-Up: Local Adoption of Social Policy Reform in China
No full textAuthoritarian local leaders face two driving forces in social policy making: top-down pressures from the regime and bottom-up motivations derived from local conditions. Existing studies recognize the importance of both forces but remain unclear as to how they interact and which of them is more influential in driving local policy adoption. Focusing on two health insurance integration policies in China, we find that when the policy is political (i.e., entailing substantial class conflicts and bureaucratic friction), top-down pressure for compliance is a dominant driver for local adoption of social policy reform. When the policy is less political, bottom-up motivations based on local economic geography together with top-down pressure drive local adoption. We find support for this argument from an analysis of an original city-level dataset on social health insurance in China from 2004 to 2016. This study has implications for distributive politics, decentralization and government responsiveness in authoritarian countries.Peer reviewe
Does social insurance enrollment improve citizen assessment of local government performance? Evidence from China
No full textAlthough many studies claim that social policies are “carrots” that authoritarian leaders use to garner public support, the assumption that social benefits can boost public support of government has been rarely tested empirically, especially at the local levels. This article investigates the effects of social insurance enrollment on citizens' assessment of local government performance using data from the 2010 China Family Panel Study. We use propensity score matching to reduce selection bias and ordered probit regressions with fixed effects to examine these possible effects. We find that social insurance enrollment had a significant positive effect on rural citizens' assessment of government performance, but this effect did not exist for their urban and migrant peers. This discrepancy could be largely due to the groups' different expectations for government redistribution and their distinct experiences of China's social welfare reform. We conclude that the Chinese authoritarian government has achieved partial success in its attempt to use socialpolicies to maintain popular support.Peer reviewe
