Reinforced concrete highway bridges often experience seismic events coupled with progressive deterioration due to corrosion over their lifespan. In many cases, the seismic mainshocks are followed by significant aftershocks, causing cumulative damage that disrupts normal operations and delays the restoration of bridges. Current research however lacks detailed assessment of seismic resilience considering the effects of aftershoc...

Hemodialysis (HD) is associated with cognitive impairment in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). However, the neural mechanism of spatial working memory (SWM) impairment in HD-ESRD patients remains unclear. We investigated the abnormal alterations in SWM-associated brain activity patterns in HD-ESRD patients using blood oxygen level-dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD-fMRI) technique during n-back t...
