Extreme M-quantiles as risk measures: from L1 to Lp optimization (2018)
Journal Article
The class of quantiles lies at the heart of extreme-value theory and is one of the basic tools in risk management. The alternative family of expectiles is based on squared rather than absolute error loss minimization. It has recently been receiving a...

Discovery of novel quinoline–chalcone derivatives as potent antitumor agents with microtubule polymerization inhibitory activity (2018)
Journal Article
© 2018 American Chemical Society. A series of novel quinoline-chalcone derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their antiproliferative activity. Among them, compound 24d exhibited the most potent activity with IC 50 values ranging...

Probabilistic-based assessment of existing steel-concrete composite bridges : application to Sousa River Bridge (2018)
Journal Article
This paper presents a framework to assess the safety of existing structures, combining deterministic model identification and reliability assessment techniques, considering both load-test and complementary laboratory test results. Firstly, the propos... Read More about Probabilistic-based assessment of existing steel-concrete composite bridges : application to Sousa River Bridge.

Cyclic and Post-cycling Anchor Response in Geocell-Reinforced Sand (2018)
Journal Article
Plate anchors are commonly used to resist static, cyclic and monotonic after cyclic-loading uplift loads. Under cyclic loading, progressive sudden failure may occur, characterized by accumulated displacement – even under loads significantly less than...

Thinking outside of the box II: disrupting the cognitive map (2018)
Journal Article
A number of influential spatial learning theories posit that organisms encode a viewpoint independent (i.e. allocentric) representation of the global boundary shape of their environment in order to support spatial reorientation and place learning. In... Read More about Thinking outside of the box II: disrupting the cognitive map.
