Novel Visualization of Building Earthquake Response Recorded by a Dense Network of Sensors.
Sensors (Basel)
January 2025
Yunnan Earthquake Agency, Kunming 650224, China.
The strong motion records collected in full-scale structures provide the ultimate evidence of how real structures, in situ, respond to earthquakes. This paper presents a novel method for visualization, in three dimensions (3D), of the collective motion by a dense array of sensors in a building. The method is based on one- and two-dimensional biharmonic spline interpolation of the motion recorded by multiple sensors on the same or multiple floors.

Bureau of Emergency Management of Pingquan City, Pingquan 067500, China.
Building type information is widely used in various fields, such as disaster management, urbanization studies, and population modelling. Few studies have been conducted on fine-grained building classification in rural areas using China's Gaofen-7 (GF-7) high-resolution stereo mapping satellite data. In this study, we employed a two-stage method combining supervised classification and unsupervised clustering to classify buildings in the rural area of Pingquan, northern China, based on building footprints, building heights, and multispectral information extracted from GF-7 data.

Background & Objectives: The context, mechanism, and outcome (CMO) framework is meant to identify specific contextual factors (C) related to organizational and program structure that trigger certain mechanisms (M) involving the unique characteristics of a program, leading to specific outcomes (O). The purpose of this study was to explore the contextual underpinnings, operational processes, and resultant effects of the faculty mentorship program at AKU-SONAM. This exploration involved the context in terms of organizational culture, mechanisms examining processes such as communication between mentors and mentees, quality of relationships, the challenges encountered, and the program's adaptability to cope up while, outcomes encompassed improvements in interpersonal relationships, career advancement, and skill development.

As Artificial Intelligence and Robotics evolve, the ethical implications of autonomous systems are becoming increasingly paramount. This article explores the role of a robot's inner speech in enhancing human phronesis - the capacity for making ethical and contextually appropriate decisions. Phronesis is a complex human trait based on experience, personality, and values, and is crucial for decisions affecting others' well-being.

Faculty of Public Health, London, NW1 4LB, United Kingdom.
Background: The World Health Organization and the Association of Schools of Public Health in the European Region called for the professionalization of the public health workforce, including the creation of codes of ethics. In this article, the Public Health Ethics and Law Network provides guidance on creating such codes, based on values and principles commonly identified for public health.
Methods: Our interest was in codes addressing public health broadly rather than disciplines within public health.
