Some ad hoc studies are reported which investigated the use of added damping layers at the base of a wind-tunnel model of a chimney as a means of increasing its overall structural damping. Significant increases in the logarithmic decrement were obtained from decaying free-vibration tests and in subs

A simple model is proposed of the statistical structure underlying the calibration of auditors' subjective probability distributions for account balances, and potentially for other unknown quantities. The model relates calibration curve shape to two parameters which represent over-or underconfidence
## Abstract Several approaches to estimating distributions of precipitation extremes are compared by means of simulation experiments, and their applications into observed data in the Czech Republic are evaluated. Regional frequency models, which take into account data in fixed or flexible βregionsβ
