Transhumanism Without Transindividuation in the Age Without Epochality: Stiegler, Vice, and Radical Human Enhancement

open access: yesBioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT At its core, transhumanism is utopic and apocalyptic: it tells us we will be saved through an imminent radical change of our being wrought by radical human enhancement (RHE) technologies. We are rushing, its supporters claim, towards a technological utopia so long as assorted techno‐phobes do not stand in the way.

What Controls Variations in Aftershock Productivity?

open access: yes, 2020
The number of aftershocks increases with mainshock size following a well-defined scaling law. However, excursions from the average behavior are common.

Seismic Sequence Vulnerability of Low-Rise Special Moment-Resisting Frame Buildings with Brick Infills

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
When buildings are exposed to earthquake sequence, damage aggravation is expected to occur. Although several studies report seismic vulnerability of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings under the mainshock–aftershock sequence, indicating damage aggravation

I stumbled when I saw: Fieldwork, fallibility, and the politics of being wrong

open access: yesAnthropology and Humanism, Volume 51, Issue 2, December 2026.
Abstract What does it mean for an anthropologist to be wrong? This essay takes the question seriously in two registers at once: the everyday mistakes of fieldwork, from mistranslating a greeting to misreading a shaved head as a sign of mourning, and the deeper entitlement through which our discipline claimed authority over other people's languages and ...

Machine-Learning Reveals Aftershock Locations for Three Idaho Earthquake Sequences [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
I explore spatial and temporal aftershock patterns related to three instrumentally recorded earthquakes in Idaho -- the Sulphur Peak, the Challis, and the Stanley earthquakes.

Accounting for Biases in the Analysis of Building Damage Data for the 2023 M7.8 Türkiye/Syria Earthquake Sequence

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.
In the aftermath of a large earthquake, several practical constraints affect the systematic collection of data for assessing building damage. The available data are therefore typically incomplete, frequently missing key information such as the type of construction, age and geographic location.

On the Duration Time of Aftershock Activity [PDF]

open access: yes, 1989
In order to discriminate between a period of aftershock activity and a period of usual seismic activity, it is important to know how long the aftershock activity continues. The aftershock activity of the Fukui earthquake (M7.1) which occurred in 1948 was

Vulnerability Analysis of Main Aftershock Sequence of Aqueduct Based on Incremental Dynamic Analysis Method

open access: yesBuildings, 2023
At present, traditional seismic design methods often ignore the structural damage caused by aftershocks in the evaluation of structural stability. In this paper, seven main aftershock sequences were constructed by using the attenuation method.
