TL;DR: Human cases of gastric anisakiasis caused by the zoonotic parasite Anisakis pegreffii are increasing in Italy.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the dynamic behavior and the seismic effectiveness of a non-conventional Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) with large mass ratio compared with conventional TMD, aiming at a better control performance.

TL;DR: In this article, an optimal design methodology was developed with the objective of achieving the global protection of both the structural portions separated by the inter-story isolation system, that is, the lower portion (below the isolation system) and the isolated upper portion (above the isolated system), and the optimization procedure was formulated on the basis of an energy performance criterion that consists in maximizing the ratio between the energy dissipated in isolation system and the input energy globally transferred to the entire structure.

TL;DR: It is shown that intrahospital cardiac complications in the early phase of pneumonia are associated with an enhanced risk of death and cardiovascular events during long-term follow-up.

TL;DR: In this article, the concept of an ideal grounded linear inerter, endowing supplemental inertia to passive linear tuned mass-dampers through its inertance property without increasing the TMD mass, is considered to reduce lateral displacement demands in base isolated structural systems (BISs).
