What makes social-ecological systems (SESs) robust? In this paper, we look here at the institutional configurations that affect the interactions among resources, resource users, public infrastructure providers, and public infrastructures.We propose a framework that helps identify potential vulnerabilities of SESs to disturbances.All the links betwe
A 40-year-old pregnant woman presented with a fetal abdominal cyst and oligohydramnios.Color Doppler scan revealed a single blood vessel from the fetal aorta into a single umbilical artery.Severe oligohydramnios limited ultrasonographic evaluation of the fetal lower limbs, kidneys, or bladder.The pregnancy was terminated; the fetus showed fused low
The paper provides examples of how temporary conditions experienced during construction, retrofit, or repair can bring an otherwise robust structure to failure.The KTVO Tower near Kirksville, Missouri, USA, guyed by seven tiers 3 piece horse wall art of guy cables, stood 610 m tall, until it suddenly collapsed on June 2, 1988.The collapse occurred
Magnetorheological (MR) dampers play a crucial role in various engineering systems, and how to identify the control parameters of MR damper models without any prior knowledge has become a burning problem.In this study, to identify the control parameters of MR damper models more accurately, an improved manta ray foraging optimization (IMRFO) is prop
Background: Associations between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and brain morphology have been reported, although with several inconsistencies.These may partly stem from confounding bias, which could distort associations and limit generalizability.We examined how associations between brain morphology and ADHD symptoms change with a
