There has long been interest in the concept of causality in systems theory and structural dynamics. In the context of nonlinear system identification, the Hilbert transform method of detecting nonlinear behaviour depends crucially on the concept of causality. One might argue that there are actually two interrelated definitions, or principles, of causality current and important in structural dynamics, and more widely in general time series analysis. The first ‘definition’ of causality, one might call the responsibility definition, is based on the idea that an event B (the effect) only occurs if an event A (the cause) occurs. The second definition – the priority – definition, asserts that cause must precede effect (in time) in any classical dynamic situation. The responsibility concept of causality is already embedded in structural dynamics, as it largely maps onto the idea of correlation; the coherence function associated with a Frequency Response Function (FRF) is essentially a representation of the idea. The priority concept is the crucial ingredient in the Hilbert transform test mentioned earlier. The objective of the current paper is to discuss where causality can illuminate processes in linear and structural dynamics and to provide illustrations based on transmissibilities and FRFs for Multi-Degree-of-Freedom (MDOF) systems.

description: The waxy layer covering the surface of most terrestrial insects is mainly composed of non-polar lipids termed cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs). These have a long research history as important dual traits for both desiccation prevention and chemical communication. We analyzed CHC profiles of seven species of the insect order Blattodea (termites and cockroaches) with the most commonly applied chromatographic method, gas-chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and the more novel approach of silver-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (Ag-LDI-MS). Comparing these two analytical methods, we demonstrated that the conventional GC-MS approach does not provide enough information on the entire CHC profile range in the tested species. Ag-LDI-MS was able to detect very long-chain CHCs ranging up to C58, which remained undetected when solely relying on standard GC-MS analysis. Additionally, we measured the body surface areas of each tested species applying 3D scanning technology to assess their respective CHC amounts per mm². When adjusting for body surface areas, proportional CHC quantity distributions shifted considerably between our studied species, suggesting the importance of including this factor when conducting quantitative CHC comparisons, particularly in insects that vary substantially in body size. Abstract Most of our knowledge on insect cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) stems from analytical techniques based on gas-chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). However, this method has its limits under standard conditions, particularly in detecting compounds beyond a chain length of around C40. Here, we compare the CHC chain length range detectable by GC-MS with the range assessed by silver-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (Ag-LDI-MS), a novel and rarely applied technique on insect CHCs, in seven species of the order Blattodea. For all tested species, we unveiled a considerable range of very long-chain CHCs up to C58, which are not detectable by standard GC-MS technology. This indicates that general studies on insect CHCs may frequently miss compounds in this range, and we encourage future studies to implement analytical techniques extending the conventionally accessed chain length range. Furthermore, we incorporate 3D scanned insect body surface areas as an additional factor for the comparative quantification of extracted CHC amounts between our study species. CHC quantity distributions differed considerably when adjusted for body surface areas as opposed to directly assessing extracted CHC amounts, suggesting that a more accurate evaluation of relative CHC quantities can be achieved by taking body surface areas into account.

description: This paper presents the protocol of a scoping review that will clarify whether and how the environmental impact is included in healthcare decisions. The link between environment and health is well evidenced. Environmental factors such as pollution, climate change or extreme events have a negative impact on human health and well-being. These issues conduct to increase cardio-respiratory diseases, mental illness and mortality. This health and well-being worsening will in turn raise healthcare use and health care expenses. On the other hand, the healthcare sector itself is also responsible for substantial environmental pollution and thus, health and well-being degradation. While health technology assessment that compares the costs and effectiveness of new treatments or health goods is key in guiding health care decisions in most countries worldwide, the environmental impact of healthcare treatment is rarely included in this evaluative framework. Few authors have looked at how the environment and its relationship with health could be integrated into the health technology assessment (HTA) framework. Through this scoping review, we will survey national and international guidelines and articles of applied economic evaluation of the healthcare sector from 3 databases (Embase, PubMed and Scopus) to identify environment-related dimensions which are taken into account. This study will focus on Europe of "12" and G20 countries except for European Union.

description: In recent years, the rapid growth of computing technology has enabled identifying mathematical models for vibration systems using measurement data instead of domain knowledge. Within this category, the method Sparse Identification of Nonlinear Dynamical Systems (SINDy) shows potential for interpretable identification. Therefore, in this work, a procedure of system identification based on the SINDy framework is developed and validated on a single-mass oscillator. To estimate the parameters in the SINDy model, two sparse regression methods are discussed. Compared with the Least Squares method with Sequential Threshold (LSST), which is the original estimation method from SINDy, the Least Squares method Post-LASSO (LSPL) shows better performance in numerical Monte Carlo Simulations (MCSs) of a single-mass oscillator in terms of sparseness, convergence, identified eigenfrequency, and coefficient of determination. Furthermore, the developed method SINDy-LSPL was successfully implemented with real measurement data of a single-mass oscillator with known theoretical parameters. The identified parameters using a sweep signal as excitation are more consistent and accurate than those identified using impulse excitation. In both cases, there exists a dependency of the identified parameter on the excitation amplitude that should be investigated in further research.

The design of structures has primarily been geared towards addressing the most dominating hazard at the location of interest. Evidence of global warming and the associated extreme climate conditions, however, have increased the probability of a structure being subjected to different types of extreme demands. As a result, the design philosophy of structures is shifting towards a more holistic approach of addressing multiple hazards to ensure adequate performance under different loading scenarios. This requires the utilization of new structural systems that can sustain only minimal damage under extreme loads. In this paper, two new floor isolation techniques are presented and their main features are discussed. The floor isolation systems are employed in numerical analysis to re-evaluate the response of building systems utilizing these isolation slabs under uncoupled multiple hazards of wind and seismic demands. It is shown that the proposed systems out-perform the response of conventional composite slab buildings.

description: In the course of the development of automated driving, there has been increasing interest in obtaining ground truth information from sensor recordings and transferring road traffic scenarios to simulations. The quality of the "ground truth" annotation is dictated by its accuracy. This paper presents a method for calibrating the accuracy of ground truth in practical applications in the automotive context. With an exemplary measurement device, we show that the proclaimed accuracy of the device is not always reached. However, test repetitions show deviations, resulting in non-uniform reliability and limited trustworthiness of the reference measurement. A similar result can be observed when reproducing the trajectory in the simulation environment: the exact reproduction of the driven trajectory does not always succeed in the simulation environment shown as an example because deviations occur. This is particularly relevant for making sensor-specific features such as material reflectivities for lidar and radar quantifiable in dynamic cases.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: We study the age- and gender-specific labour market effects of two key modern technolo­gies ‑ Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and robots ‑ in 14 European coun­tries between 2010-2018. To identify the causal effects of technology adoption, we utilise the variation of capital growth between industries and apply the instrumental variables strategy proposed by Acemoglu and Restrepo (2019). We find that the adoption of ICT and robots is beneficial for young and prime-aged women, as well as for older men. Negative effects on rela­tive labour market outcomes are concentrated among older women and prime-aged men. Between 2010 and 2018, the growth of ICT capital played a visibly larger role in explaining changes in labour market outcomes than robot adoption.

The present study focuses on the axial characterization of the Roll-N-Cage isolation device. The procedure consists into two main steps: (i) laboratory investigations of a scaled prototype of the Roll- N-Cage system for evaluating the mechanical cyclic response to axial compression and tension; (ii) the development of a numerical model for investigating the reproduction of the strong unsymmetrical axial response of the device. The proposed numerical model reposes on a modified form of the Wang and Wen model by supplementing it with user identified scaling functions.

The goal of this paper is to present further development of the inertial shock-absorber called SPIN-MAN. Application of the device in mitigation of structures response is investigated and selected case study is discussed.
The specific construction and operation of the device is introduced and explained. In reference to the impact absorption problems, the SPIN-MAN is a concept of adaptive inerter device with two phases of operation. The first of them includes energy absorption and accumulation. External energy of the load is converted to kinetic energy of rotational motion of the mass. During the second phase, accumulated energy is dissipated by inverse spinning of the second mass powered by the remaining part of the impact energy. To obtain this type of operation, special switchable actuators are used. Applicability of the device in mitigation of impact-born structure response, especially in case of space systems, is investigated. General concept of the device construction and operation is adjusted to meet the requirements for space systems. This results in a fluidless, passive-like solution but adaptable to the load conditions. Tuning of the shock-absorber may be realized by manual or easily automated mechanical adjustments. Effectiveness of the solution is based on the specific on/off type of control, which is responsible for the optimal energy flow in the system and efficient dissipation of impact energy inside the SPIN-MAN. Results of numerical simulations confirmed quick and effective operation of this device.

description: Business bribery is a particularly serious problem in the integration era. First, this article investigates the effects of institutional obstacles on firms’ bribery in 131 countries classified by nation income groups. Through the appropriate proposal of fitting functions, the relationship between obstructions and the predicted margin effect of bribery is intuitively elucidated. Second, this paper sheds light on the relationship between bribery payment and exports. Then the analysis is upgraded when controlling for the moderation of a firm’s growth constraints. The results detected that not only institutional barriers, but also internal and external hindrances play an essential role in the interaction between bribe payments and export share. More interestingly, this study scrutinizes the role of obstacles in this relationship separately. Besides, SMEs and large enterprises are also adopted in further sensitivity analyses. To solve the endogeneity problem, the study uses the average amount of bribery in a firm’s location, sector, and the country as an instrumental variable (IV). The results obtained are not consistent across country groups classified by national income. Due to obstacles during a firm’s operation, the amplitude of the positive effect of bribery on exports is reduced.

Civil structures such as floors with open-plan layouts or lightweight footbridges can be susceptible to excessive levels of vibrations caused by human activities. Active vibration control via inertial-mass actuators is a viable technique to mitigate vibrations, allowing structures to satisfy vibration serviceability limits. Recently, a multi-input multi-output active vibration control technique has been proposed by the authors. This technique finds simultaneously the sensor/actuator pairs’ optimal placements and the control gains, where direct velocity feedback is considered. Issues such as actuator dynamics, high-pass filters and low-pass filters were considered for the practicality of the technique. This paper introduces new elements such as input-output frequency weighting in order to take into account the frequency nature of human loading and human perception, respectively. Simulation results on a rectangular floor model and time domain tests have been carried out to confirm the improvements.

description: Environmental management systems (EMS) require the assessment of environmental aspects to ensure that organizations recognize their most relevant impacts on the environment. The ecological scarcity method (ESM) provides weighting factors for environmental flows (pollutants and resources), called eco-factors (EF), applicable in the assessment of environmental aspects. EF are based on a distance-to-target approach, displaying the ratio of the current state to the respective policy targets for environmental flows. The ESM has been developed for Switzerland; however, for site-specific application beyond Switzerland, national EF are desirable. This publication presents a systematic procedure for the derivation of EF in an international framework, based on the investigation of eight countries worldwide and comprehensive data research. As a novel feature, the grouping of EF into sets is introduced, according to the character of the underlying policy target: legally based, intended policy, or expert recommendation. Overall, 134 EF for six environmental issues were calculated and applied in a case study from Volkswagen AG. An in-depth analysis identifies the differences between national EF and between sets of EF and discusses the implications for EMS. From the findings, general conclusions for future development and the application of EF in an international context of company management are derived.

Multi-strand systems include, but are not limited to, electrical wire conductors, structural cables, and some composite reinforcements. These systems (apart from composite reinforcements) are generally metallic for a variety of reasons. One often overlooked advantage is that dry friction between metal contacts can provide damping over significantly wider temperature ranges than is typical for common damping materials such as viscoelastic polymers. This paper, proposes a mathematical model that describes the hysteretic vibrational behaviour of a frictionally constrained multi-strand bar constructed from strands that have a circular cross-section. The mathematical model analytically predicts the frictional system stiffness under simply supported boundary conditions. The assembled strands are numerically simulated using finite elements and hysteresis behaviour is compared to that obtained from the mathematical model. This shows that the mathematical model is capable of predicting the stiffness and the force-displacement hysteresis response of the system for a variety of conditions.

description: Europe will be challenged by demographic changes over the next few decades, even under favourable
 assumptions about fertility and migration, but the economic eects are not yet fully understood. This
 paper studies the eects of population ageing on economic growth, capital deepening and robotisation
 in 27 European Union (EU) labour markets. First, we econometrically assess the eects of ageing and
 potential labour market shortages on growth. Second, we test the hypothesis of whether ageing leads to
 faster adoption of new technologies. We distinguish between various capital asset types, including non-
 ICT and ICT capital, tangible and intangible capital and the adoption of robots. The analysis is based on
 Eurostat, the European Labour Force Survey (EU-LFS) and International Federation of Robotics (IFR)
 data. Results indicate that ageing and demographic changes might result in secular stagnation, which
 decelerates the adoption of new technologies.

A novel semi-active control strategy for the effective vibration mitigation of structural systems of uncertain properties is introduced in this study. The implemented approach emerges through fusion of the Unscented Kalman filter (UKF), as a nonlinear observer, with the linear-quadratic regulator (LQR). The UKF is implemented towards the establishment of an adaptive joint state and parameter estimation problem, taking into account that numerical models of structural systems are often inadequate due to inherent uncertainties, such as noise and modeling errors, unknown system properties and influence of varying operational conditions. The improved state-space representation is accordingly fed into the LQR and a semi-active control scheme that utilizes clipping is applied. Since both estimation and control are executed within the same loop, particular attention is attributed to the derivation of the appropriate LQR strategy, pertaining to both the selection of optimal weight matrices and the real-time tuning of the control parameters. A simulated five-story shear-frame subject to earthquake motion serves as a case-study for validating the proposed methodology. The promising results encourage further investigation of the developed strategy, especially in regards to its real-time experimental implementation using semi-active actuators, such as magnetorheological dampers.

This paper investigates the impact of inerter nonlinearities on the performance of tunedinerter- dampers (TID). The inerter completes the force-current analogy between mechanical and electrical networks, and it represents the mechanical element equivalent to a capacitor. The TID is a vibration suppression system designed to limit unwanted vibrations of civil engineering structures and has a layout similar to that of a tuned-mass-damper (TMD), where the mass element was replaced by an inerter, making it a two-terminal device. The TID offers significant advantages over TMDs, in terms of performance over a wider frequency band, installation and dimensions. Nevertheless, the study carried out to date has been mainly numerical, considering a linear, purely inertial model of the inerter, where the generated force was proportional to the relative acceleration between the devices terminals. In practice, the dynamics of an inerter include nonlinearities, especially at the low frequencies associated with civil engineering applications. Here, the identification of these nonlinearities is done experimentally, based on an off-the-shelf inerter. The structural system, a single-degree-of-freedom host structure with an attached TID, is tested using Real Time Dynamic Substructuring (RTDS). The inerter represents the physical substructure, while the remaining elements of the TID and the host structure form the numerical substructure. This split allows the optimisation of the TID parameters, since the values of the spring and the damper can be changed without altering the experimental setup. In addition, this configuration takes into account the inerters potentially complex dynamics by testing it experimentally together with the characteristics of the host structure. The experimental and numerical results show that with appropriate retuning of the stiffness and damping components of the nonlinear TID system, the performance of the linear TID can be regained.

The paper presents development and application of a thermomechanical static solver based on the Finite Element Interconnecting Method (FETI) to be employed in hybrid fire tests. Hybrid fire test produces a time-history response of a hybrid model that comprises numerical and physical substructures to combined mechanical and thermal excitation. Hybrid fire test is advantageous to whole building full-scale fire tests because it allows testing of structural elements that exhibit a highly nonlinear fire behaviour in relatively small furnaces under realistic boundary conditions derived from a numerically model of the remainder of the structure. On these premises, the paper comprehensively describes the proposed static solver by highlighting its ability to guarantee compatibility and equilibrium at the interface between the physical substructure (PS) and the numerical substructure (NS), both for non-floating and floating subdomains as well as for nonlinear behaviour of the PS. The development of the solver has been driven by laboratory practice: an error propagation analysis that takes into account errors and uncertainties, such delay and measurement noise, is incorporated. The validation carried out in a fully numerical framework, i.e. the PS is also numerically modelled, shows promising outcomes for future experimental implementations.

Elaborations from an experimental campaign on a footbridge are re-elaborated. After the parameters of a consistent numerical model have been calibrated, recorded signals and numerical analyses are exploited in view of improving the structural monitoring features adopted up to now. The transient character of human crossing is demanded to a further suitable numerical model. As an ultimate target of the investigation, the potential of simple structural control schemes on the cable tension is discussed.

Precise tracking of the earthquake acceleration profile in the presence of uncertainties is a challenge for the shake table control design. Design and implementation of a fuzzy-sliding mode supervisory controller for an electric seismic shake table with variable payload is addressed in this paper. The proposed controller contains two layers including a PI loop and a fuzzy-sliding mode supervisory controller. The controller is then implemented in the shake table and its performance is evaluated via extensive experiments. The test results reveal successful performance of the proposed controller at robust tracking of two sample earthquakes in the presence of parametric uncertainties.

Smart structural control is now emerging as an alternative to conventional earthquake resistant design and traditional structural control techniques. Fuzzy control is one of the promising control strategies that could be used for this function. Magnetorheological (MR) dampers are considered one of the promising semi-active control devices that can be used to control the structural response of buildings under earthquake excitation. The properties of MR dampers can be controlled using several control techniques such as Fuzzy Logic.
In this paper, a fuzzy control scheme is proposed to control the response of a three degree of freedom system under earthquake excitation. The system is equipped with three MR dampers with one for each degree of freedom, i.e., floor. The system comprises an optimization component which identifies the most optimum firing sequence of the MR dampers in order to achieve the best controlled response. It is envisaged that not all three MR dampers are fired simultaneously; only selected ones are fired as per the decision of the optimization scheme. A comparative analysis is, finally, conducted in order to demonstrate the validity of the proposed scheme.

This work is concerned with active vibration mitigation in wind turbines (WT) but not through the use of specifically tailored devices. Instead, a general control scheme is designed for torque and pitch controllers based on a super-twisting algorithm, which uses additional feedback of the fore-aft and side-to-side acceleration signals at the top of the WT tower to mitigate the vibrational behavior. In general, proposed methods to improve damping through pitch and torque control suffer from increased blade pitch actuator usage. However, in this work the blade pitch angle is smoothed leading to a decrease of the pitch actuator effort, among other benefits evidenced through numerical experiments. The most frequent faults induce vibrations in the corresponding WT subsystems. In fact, vibration monitoring has been recently used for fault diagnosis Thus, by means of vibration mitigation, different faulty conditions can be alleviated leading to a passive fault tolerant control. In this work, coupled non-linear aero-hydroservo-elastic simulations of a floating o shore wind turbine are carried out for one of the most common pitch actuator faults.

In this study, control methods for a semi-active damper using an electro-adhesive gel (EAG) are analyzed. The modeling of an EAG damper is conducted on the basis of the approximation of the force–voltage relation obtained from experimental data. The performance of an EAG damper is evaluated by shaking-table tests of a two-story small-scale specimen. The specimen is designed to adjust the ratio between the first and second natural periods to that of a target real-scale base-isolated building, and the system parameters are identified on the basis of the vibration response under white noise excitation. An EAG damper is implemented to the base-isolation layer of the small-scale specimen. Acceleration sensors are attached to each layer to acquire the response data. A Kalman filter is employed as an observer in a control system, and the LQG strategy and disturbance accommodating control are advocated as a controller to apply a suitable input voltage to the EAG damper. The cost function of the LQG is formulated to suppress the acceleration response of the specimen. Experiments using other control methods, i.e., the simulated nonlinear spring and the simulated dashpot, are also conducted for comparison. With respect to the input excitation, scaled earthquake ground motion records are used. Based on the results of the shaking-table tests, we report the validity of the EAG damper and discuss effective control methods.
