Studies on the application of the lead rubber bearing (LRB) isolation system to nuclear power plants are being carried out as one of the measures to improve seismic performance.Nuclear power plants with isolation systems require seismic probabilistic safety assessments, for which the seismic fragility of the structures, systems, and components need
The relative linear order of most genes on bacterial chromosomes is not conserved over evolutionary timescales.One explanation is that selection Baster is weak, allowing recombination to randomize gene order by genetic drift.However, most chromosomal rearrangements are deleterious to fitness.In contrast, we propose the hypothesis that rearrangement
There are a lot of studies that show that criminal activities exhibit certain temporal and spatial regularities.However, they often focus on either CIDER VIN specific cities or types of crime and cannot clearly explain the patterns for the crime.What are the temporal patterns at the microlevel spatial scale? How general? Understanding the regularit
While conspiracy theories are treated as irrational fringe beliefs in popular culture, conspiracy belief is quite common.Given the disconnect between stereotypes about conspiracy belief and its prevalence, I tested whether people have difficulty recognizing the conspiracy theories that they believe as conspiracy theories.Across two studies I demons
BackgroundSystematic reviews (SRs) can help decision makers interpret the deluge of published biomedical literature.However, a SR may be of limited use if the methods used to conduct the SR are flawed, and reporting of the SR is incomplete.To our knowledge, since 2004 there has been no cross-sectional study of the prevalence, focus, and completenes
