As compared with other pushover analysis procedures, the main advantage of the proposed procedure is that the effects of higher modes on the lateral displacement demands are lumped into a single invariant lateral force distribution that is proportional to the total seismic masses at the floor and roof levels.
Once the original time series is decomposed into trend and non-trend IMFs, calculation of the excess mortality or other data analysis procedures (e.g., a subsequent regression analysis) can be performed using the resulting IMFs as the input.
More sophisticated approaches propose the employment of other texture analysis procedures, specifically the spatial gray-level dependence matrices (SGLDM) [ 12, 14] and the center-symmetric auto-correlation method (CSAC) [ 3].
The reliability of the cortical thickness measures as well as the other image analysis procedures presented here has been demonstrated across different manufacturer types, scanner upgrades, varying contrast-to-noise ratio, and the number of MPRAGE MRI acquisitions used (Han et al., 2006; Fennema-Notestine et al., 2007; Jovicich et al., 2009).
Since the results of the time history depend mainly on the characteristic of the used acceleration time history records and the shapes of their corresponding elastic response spectra (Kunnath and Kalkan 2004), the reason of using the inelastic TH method is to verify the results obtained by other code-specific analysis procedures (ESL and RS methods) against a time history record.
Here, promising new alternatives are on the horizon, such as the DAOSTORM algorithm, which enable multiple kernels to be fitted to overlapping PSFs and other multiple-emitter analysis procedures.
Interestingly, GPU computational method has been applied in other two short reads analysis procedures, i.e. error correction and alignment, and speeded up of these processes many times as reported [26], [27], [28].
On the other hand, the SEM analysis procedures can examine both direct and indirect effects of variables, as well as explore the complex causal relationship involved in the process [ 3, 18].
To assess the degradation effect of composting on the feedstocks, the compost samples collected at 1 and 27 weeks were used to measure the remaining amounts of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, along with other compositions, using the chemical analysis procedures described in Materials and Methods.
There were, in addition, several other serious questions raised about Weber's analysis procedures.
