Executive Summary The most recent reauthorization of the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP), P.L. 115-307, includes a heightened focus on achieving community resilience and a new requirement for the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to jointly convene a Committee of Experts to assess and recommend options for improving the built environment and critical infrastructure to reflect performance goals stated in terms of post-earthquake reoccupancy and functional recovery time. To comply with this mandate, NIST and FEMA developed a plan of action in which FEMA funded a Project Technical Panel, responsible for report development, and NIST funded a Project Review Panel, responsible for report review. The Committee of Experts consisted of the Project Technical Panel, with 17 outside experts and representation from all interest groups named in the reauthorization, and the Project Review Panel, with 10 outside experts and similar representation. To facilitate national-level stakeholder interaction, NIST hosted five stakeholder workshops that were used to gather additional information and feedback. This report provides a set of options in the form of recommendations, tasks, and alternatives for improving the built environment, which have been developed and assessed by the Committee of Experts. It describes community resilience, defines the concepts of reoccupancy and functional recovery, and explains the relationship among these three ideas. It explains why reoccupancy and functional recovery concepts are needed, describes a target performance state, and identifies potential cost and benefits associated with implementing enhanced seismic design. To fulfill the Congressional mandate, this report addresses the issue of functional recovery for seismic hazard. Although this report does not discuss the unique challenges associated with improving functional recovery for other hazards, recommendations in this report could be leveraged and adapted for other natural hazards. The motivation for this report is the risk that the United States faces each year from all forms of natural hazards, including hurricanes, floods, wildfires, and earthquakes. Natural hazard events can affect communities through damage that results in injury and loss of life, interruption of lifeline services, displacement of residents and businesses, and economic and socio-cultural impacts. Almost half of the U.S. population – 150 million people – reside in portions of 42 states that are at risk of experiencing a damaging earthquake within the next 50 years. Earthquakes have caused disastrous impacts in the past and are expected to cause more in the future. In regions of high seismic risk where an earthquake hasn’t occurred for some time, scenario studies predict deaths in the thousands, injuries in the tens of thousands, and hundreds of billions of dollars in direct economic losses, along with long-term, destabilizing impacts to community function. FEMA P-2090/NIST SP-1254 Executive Summary v In all cases, whether historic or scenario-based, the loss of life and property, and the negative impacts to the economy, were a direct result of the inability of the built environment to withstand the effects of earthquakes and other natural hazards. Because federal, state, and local, governments have critical functions in disaster recovery, they all can play an important role in facilitating the process to reduce the costs of recovery. To protect U.S. communities and taxpayers against future losses on the scale of those experienced in Hurricane Katrina, or predicted in earthquake scenario studies, a change in building codes, building practices, and societal values is needed. To support resilience goals at the community level, there is a need to establish a link between the design, construction, and retrofit of individual buildings and lifeline infrastructure systems, and community resilience, as measured by time to recovery of function; but this link is currently missing. The concepts of reoccupancy and functional recovery have been introduced to serve as this link, defined as follows: Reoccupancy is a post-earthquake performance state in which a building is maintained, or restored, to allow safe re-entry for the purposes of providing shelter or protecting building contents. Functional recovery is a post-earthquake performance state in which a building or lifeline infrastructure system is maintained, or restored, to safely and adequately support

  • General Probability, II: Independence and Conditional Proba- Bility
    Math 408, Actuarial Statistics I A.J. Hildebrand General Probability, II: Independence and conditional proba- bility Definitions and properties 1. Independence: A and B are called independent if they satisfy the product formula P (A ∩ B) = P (A)P (B). 2. Conditional probability: The conditional probability of A given B is denoted by P (A|B) and defined by the formula P (A ∩ B) P (A|B) = , P (B) provided P (B) > 0. (If P (B) = 0, the conditional probability is not defined.) 3. Independence of complements: If A and B are independent, then so are A and B0, A0 and B, and A0 and B0. 4. Connection between independence and conditional probability: If the con- ditional probability P (A|B) is equal to the ordinary (“unconditional”) probability P (A), then A and B are independent. Conversely, if A and B are independent, then P (A|B) = P (A) (assuming P (B) > 0). 5. Complement rule for conditional probabilities: P (A0|B) = 1 − P (A|B). That is, with respect to the first argument, A, the conditional probability P (A|B) satisfies the ordinary complement rule. 6. Multiplication rule: P (A ∩ B) = P (A|B)P (B) Some special cases • If P (A) = 0 or P (B) = 0 then A and B are independent. The same holds when P (A) = 1 or P (B) = 1. • If B = A or B = A0, A and B are not independent except in the above trivial case when P (A) or P (B) is 0 or 1. In other words, an event A which has probability strictly between 0 and 1 is not independent of itself or of its complement.

  • Grading System the Grades of A, B, C, D and P Are Passing Grades
    Grading System The grades of A, B, C, D and P are passing grades. Grades of F and U are failing grades. R and I are interim grades. Grades of W and X are final grades carrying no credit. Individual instructors determine criteria for letter grade assignments described in individual course syllabi. Explanation of Grades The quality of performance in any academic course is reported by a letter grade, assigned by the instructor. These grades denote the character of study and are assigned quality points as follows: A Excellent 4 grade points per credit B Good 3 grade points per credit C Average 2 grade points per credit D Poor 1 grade point per credit F Failure 0 grade points per credit I Incomplete No credit, used for verifiable, unavoidable reasons. Requirements for satisfactory completion are established through student/faculty consultation. Courses for which the grade of I (incomplete) is awarded must be completed by the end of the subsequent semester or another grade (A, B, C, D, F, W, P, R, S and U) is awarded by the instructor based upon completed course work. In the case of I grades earned at the end of the spring semester, students have through the end of the following fall semester to complete the requirements. In exceptional cases, extensions of time needed to complete course work for I grades may be granted beyond the subsequent semester, with the written approval of the vice president of learning. An I grade can change to a W grade only under documented mitigating circumstances. The vice president of learning must approve the grade change.

General Information The Latin script1 or Roman script is a major writing system of the world today, and the most widely used in terms of number of languages and number of speakers, with circa 70% of the world’s readers and writers making use of this script2 (Wikipedia). Historically, it is derived from the Greek alphabet, as is the Cyrillic script. The Greek alphabet is in turn derived from the Phoenician alphabet which dates to the mid-11th century BC and is itself based on older scripts. This explains why Latin, Cyrillic and Greek share some letters, which may become relevant to the ruleset in the form of cross-script variants. The Latin alphabet itself originated in Italy in the 7th Century BC. The original alphabet contained 21 upper case only letters: A, B, C, D, E, F, Z, H, I, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, V and X.

  • Why Romans Sometimes Wrote 8 As VIII, and Sometimes As IIX: a Possible Explanation
    International Mathematical Forum, Vol. 16, 2021, no. 2, 95 - 99 HIKARI Ltd, www.m-hikari.com https://doi.org/10.12988/imf.2021.912243 Why Romans Sometimes Wrote 8 as VIII, and Sometimes as IIX: A Possible Explanation Olga Kosheleva 1 and Vladik Kreinovich 2 1 Department of Teacher Education 2 Department of Computer Science University of Texas at El Paso 500 W. University El Paso, TX 79968, USA This article is distributed under the Creative Commons by-nc-nd Attribution License. Copyright c 2021 Hikari Ltd. Abstract Most of us are familiar with Roman numerals and with the standard way of describing numbers in the form of these numerals. What many people do not realize is that the actual ancient Romans often deviated from these rules. For example, instead of always writing the number 8 as VIII, i.e., 5 + 3, they sometimes wrote it as IIX, i.e., as 10 − 2. Some of such differences can be explained: e.g., the unusual way of writing 98 as IIC, i.e., as 100 − 2, can be explained by the fact that the Latin word for 98 literally means \two from hundred". However, other differences are not easy to explain { e.g., why Romans sometimes wrote 8 as VIII and sometimes as IIX. In this paper, we provide a possible explanation for this variation. Mathematics Subject Classification: 01A35 Keywords: Roman numerals, history of mathematics 1 Formulation of the Problem Roman numerals as we know them. Most people are familiar with Roman numerals. There, 1 is I, 5 is V, 10 is X, 50 is L, 100 is C, 500 is D, 1000 is 96 O.

  • 12. Sparsity and P >> N
    12. Sparsity and p>>n When p>>n (the “short, fat data problem”), two things go wrong: • The Curse of Dimensionality is acute. • There are insufficient degrees of freedom to estimate the full model. However, there is a substantial body of practical experience which indicates that, in some circumstances, one can actually make good statistical inferences and predictions. Recently, a great deal of statistical attention has gone into the question of determining under which conditions it is possible to do good statistics, and under what circumstances is it impossible to learn from such data. 1 The issue of insufficient degrees of freedom has arisen previously. In fractional factorial designs, one does not have sufficient observations to estimate all of the main effects and interactions, and consequently one aliases (or confounds) cleverly chosen sets of terms, estimating their sum rather than the separate components. The intuition behind that approach is the bet on sparsity principle, which says that in high dimensions, it is wise to proceed under the assumption that most of the effects are not signficant. This principle can be justified in two ways: • it is often true (Occam’s Razor is empirically sound); and • if the problem is not sparse, you won’t be able to do anything useful anyway. In some cases things aren’t strictly sparse, in that all effects are non-zero, but a handful of the effects may explain a very large proportion of the variation in the data. 2 There are several different kinds of sparsity. The following list is framed in terms of regression, but similar points apply to classification.

Hinkle* Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853, United States Received 12 August 2004; accepted 9 September 2004 Available online 21 September 2004 Abstract Mitochondrial mechanistic P/O ratios are still in question. The major studies since 1937 are summarized and various systematic errors are discussed. Values of about 2.5 with NADH-linked substrates and 1.5 with succinate are consistent with most reports after apparent contradictions are explained. Variability of coupling may occur under some conditions but is generally not significant. The fractional values result from the coupling ratios of proton transport. An additional revision of P/O ratios may be required because of a report of the structure of ATP synthase (D. Stock, A.G.W. Leslie, J.E. Walker, Science 286 (1999) 1700–1705) which suggests that the H+/ATP ratio is 10/3, rather than 3, consistent with P/O ratios of 2.3 with NADH and 1.4 with succinate, values that are also possible.

  • Continuous Stroke Printing
    Children’s Rehabilitation Services CONTINUOUS STROKE PRINTING The more times a beginning writer has to lift a pencil, the harder it becomes to make a legible letter. Every pencil lift creates another opportunity to make a mistake. Fewer strokes means fewer steps to remember in forming each letter and decreases directionality confusion. It also increases the chances the student will develop the correct “motor memory” for the letter formation. The development of motor “memories” for the patterns used in printing is what helps the student’s printing to become fast and automatic, without sacrificing legibility. Continuous stroke printing may also help eliminate letter reversals. As the student is not lifting his/her pencil, there is less opportunity for confusion around which side of the “ball” to place the “stick” on (e.g., ‘b’ vs. ‘d’). Likewise, as the student does not have to pause and think about where to place each connecting stroke, the speed and flow of printing often improves. Which Letters Are Non-Lifting? Uppercase lifting letters include: A, E, F, H, I, J, K, Q, T, X, Y Uppercase non-lifting letters include: B, C, D, G, L, M, N, O, P, R, S, U, V, W, Z Lowercase lifting letters include: f, i, j, k, t, x, y Lowercase non-lifting letters include: a, b, c, d, e, g, h, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, u, v, w, z Please see the following page for a stroke directionality chart.
