Impact of Multiple Faults on the Maximum Credible Ground-Motion Parameters of Large Earthquakes at a Near-Field Site

open access: yesApplied Sciences
The ground-motion simulation of regional-specific earthquake scenarios is crucial for the seismic design of key facilities. Herein, we considered parameter uncertainty in ground-motion simulations and the impact of multiple faults when determining the ...

Active tectonics of Gülpınar-Tuzla area (Biga Peninsula, NW Turkey): the source of 6 February-24 March 2017 earthquake cluster

open access: yesBulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration, 2021
The variation in the motion sense of Anatolian platelet in Aegean Sea resulted in a strike-slip tectonic regime and related neotectonic domain, the central to northern Aegean neotectonic province, which also includes both western Marmara Sea and ...

Finding a third archetypal technical system in architectural phenomenology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Within the scope of phenomenology and in order to understand architecture, the role of the technical system is as important as those of the purpose of the building or its form.

Phylogenomics, ecomorphological evolution, and historical biogeography in Deuterocohnia (Bromeliaceae: Pitcairnioideae)

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Species of Deuterocohnia (17 spp.) show extraordinary variation in elevation (0–3900 m a.s.l.) and growth forms, and many have narrow geographic distributions in the west‐central Andes and the Peru‐Chile coast. Previous research using few plastid and nuclear loci failed to produce well‐resolved or supported phylogenies.

Tertiary-Quaternary subduction processes and related magmatism in the Alpine-Mediterranean region [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
During Tertiary to Quaternary times, convergence between Eurasia and Africa resulted in a variety of collisional orogens and different styles of subduction in the Alpine-Mediterranean region.

New craniodental materials of Falcarius utahensis (Theropoda: Therizinosauria) reveal patterns of intraspecific variation and cranial evolution in early coelurosaurians

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite documented ecomorphological shifts toward an herbivorous diet in several coelurosaurian lineages, the evolutionary tempo and mode of these changes remain poorly understood, hampered by sparse cranial materials for early representatives of major clades. This is particularly true for Therizinosauria, with representative crania best known

Tectonics, volcanism, landscape structure and human evolution in the African Rift [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Tectonic movements and volcanism in the African Rift have usually been considered of relevance to human evolution only at very large geographical and chronological scales, principally in relation to longterm topographic and climatic variation at the ...

A new species of Lonchidiidae (Hybodontiformes) from the Late Jurassic of Brazil (Aliança Formation, Jatobá Basin)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Aliança Formation (Jatobá Basin) represents lacustrine deposits formed in oxygenated waters that hosted a diverse fauna, including Hybodontiform sharks. Within this group, the Family Lonchidiidae comprises 11 valid genera, with Parvodus previously reported in Brazilian deposits from the Brejo Santo Formation (Araripe Basin, Late Jurassic ...

Exoplanet interiors and habitability [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
More than 1000 exoplanets with a radius smaller than twice that of the Earth are currently known, mainly thanks to space missions dedicated to the search of exoplanets.
