Abstract: This paper presents a conceptual framework to define seismic resilience of communities and quantitative measures of resilience that can be useful for a coordinated research effort focusing on enhancing this resilience. This framework relies on the complementary measures of resilience: ‘‘Reduced failure probabilities,’’ ‘‘Reduced consequences from failures,’’ and ‘‘Reduced time to recovery.’’ The framework also includes quantitative measures of the ‘‘ends’’ of robustness and rapidity, and the ‘‘means’’ of resourcefulness and redundancy, and integrates those measures into the four dimensions of community resilience—technical, organizational, social, and economic—all of which can be used to quantify measures of resilience for various types of physical and organizational systems. Systems diagrams then establish the tasks required to achieve these objectives. This framework can be useful in future research to determine the resiliency of different units of analysis and systems, and to develop resiliency targets and detailed analytical procedures to generate these values.

Multiport power router and its impact on future smart grids
TL;DR: A Y configuration power router is proposed as a unit cell to easily construct a power delivery system that can meet many types of user requirements and the methodology based on a governing equation was appropriate to control the power flow of the three-way DC/DC converter.

Assessment of port resilience using Bayesian network: A study of strategies to enhance readiness and response capacities
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors developed measures to enhance port resilience that can cope with risks and uncertainties, and proposed a port resilience assessment model using the Bayesian network, in which various resilience strategies are categorized into different metrics to assess resilience capabilities (i.e. readiness and response capacities).

Evolution and analysis of urban resilience and its influencing factors: a case study of Jiangsu Province, China
X. F. You,Ya-Nan Sun,Jiawei Liu +2 more
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors used panel data of cities in Jiangsu from 2009 to 2018 to construct a resilience framework that measures the level of urban resilience, and a combination of the entropy method, Theil index, Moran'sI , and the Spatial Durbin Model (SDM) is used to explore regional resilience development differences, the spatial correlation characteristics of urban resilient, and its influencing factors.

TL;DR: How and when transportation networks are restored following a natural hazard event plays a key role in post-event recovery, however, determining the optimal repair strategies is a challenge.
