Several methodologies for assessing seismic risk extract information from the statistical relationship between the intensity of ground motions and the structural response. The first group is represented by intensity measures (IMs) whilst the latter by en...

Rural areas cool off by night but built-up urban areas lack similar relief and may threaten vulnerable people?s health during heat waves. Temperature varies within a city due to the heterogenous nature of urban environments, but official measurement stat...
