© 2019 Associazione Geotecnica Italiana, Rome, Italy.The Next-Generation Liquefaction (NGL) database is an open-source, global database of liquefaction and non-ground failure case-histories. The database is part of a multi-year research effort with the main goal of developing improved procedures to evaluate liquefaction susceptibility, triggering, and consequences. In NGL, a case-history is defined as the intersection of three components: (1) a site, (2) an earthquake event, and (3) post-earth-quake observations. The NGL database hosts case-histories used to develop existing liquefaction models, as well as new data derived from recent earthquakes such as the 2010-2011 Canterbury earthquake sequence, the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake, and the 2012 Emilia earthquake. The database also hosts lateral spread case-histories, and a substantial number of liquefaction sites characterized by the presence of co-located recording stations. All of the data present in the NGL database are reviewed by the NGL Database Working Group. The NGL formal vetting process is described for an example case-history.

Performance of reconstruction and identification of tau leptons decaying to hadrons and nu(tau) in pp collisions at root s=13 TeV
Sirunyan, A. M.; et. al. (IOP Publishing, 2018-10-01)
The algorithm developed by the CMS Collaboration to reconstruct and identify tau leptons produced in proton-proton collisions at root s = 7 and 8 TeV, via their decays to hadrons and a neutrino, has been significantly improved. The changes include a revised reconstruction of pi(0) candidates, and improvements in multivariate discriminants to separate tau leptons from jets and electrons. The algorithm is extended to reconstruct tau leptons in highly Lorentz-boosted pair production, and in the high-level trig...
Implementation and comparison of the advanced encryption standard finalist algorithms on tms320c54x
Serter, Ahmet Volkan; Yücel, Melek D; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005)
Implementation aspects of Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) Contest finalist algorithms (MARS, RC6, RIJNDAEL, SERPENT and TWOFISH) are studied on TMS320C54X processor. The C codes written by Brian Gladman in 1999 are adapted to TMS320C54X and the speed and memory usage values are compared with the adaptation of Karol Gorski and Michal Skalski̕s implementation in 1999. The effects of implementation environment are investigated by comparing the two implementations. The sensitivities of the finalist algorithm...
ANKOS Publisher Application System and Its Impact on the e-Resource Evaluation Process
Bulut, Burcu Pınar; Uğur, Handan; Gurdal, Gultekin; Holt, Ilkay; Cukadar, Sami; Akbayrak, Emre H.; ÇELEBİ, MUSTAFA KEMAL (2013-03-01)
The Publisher Application System (PAS) is a Web-based archiving and online evaluation system developed by the Database Evaluation Group (DEG), one of the working groups formed within the Anatolian University Libraries Consortium (ANKOS). The DEG was formed in 2008 to inquire and evaluate e-resources suited to the needs of the consortium; to follow up similar consortial activities worldwide as well as developments in connection with the scientific publishing industry; and to determine, implement, and improve...
Semantic concept recognition from structured and unstructured inputs within cyber security domain
Hoşsucu, Alp Gökhan; Baykal, Nazife; Department of Information Systems (2015)
Linked data initiative has been quite successful in terms of publishing and interlinking data over ontological structures. The success is due to answering semantically rich queries over highly structured data. The utilization of linked data structures are widely used in various domains to solve the problem of producing domain specific knowledge which can be interpreted by automated agents without any human interference. Cyber security field is one of the domains that suffer from the excessiveness of the raw...
Regionalized Ground-Motion Models for Subduction Earthquakes Based on the NGA-SUB Database
Abrahamson, Norman; Gülerce, Zeynep (2020-12-01)
A set of global and region-specific ground-motion models (GMMs) for subduction zone earthquakes is developed based on the database compiled by the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center (PEER) Next Generation Attenuation - Subduction (NGA-SUB) project. The subset of the NGA-SUB database used to develop the GMMs includes 3914 recordings from 113 subduction interface earthquakes with magnitudes varying between 5 and 9.2 and 4850 recordings from 89 intraslab events with magnitudes varying between 5 a...
