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

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
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]
I explore spatial and temporal aftershock patterns related to three instrumentally recorded earthquakes in Idaho -- the Sulphur Peak, the Challis, and the Stanley earthquakes.

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]
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

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.
