On the modeling of strong motion parameters and correlation with historical macroseismic data: an application to the 1915 Avezzano earthquake

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 1995
This article describes the results of a ground motion modeling study of the 1915 Avezzano earthquake. The goal was to test assuinptions regarding the rupture process of this earthquake by attempting to model the damage to historical monuments and ...

Preliminary engineering analysis of the August 24th 2016, ML 6.0 central Italy earthquake records

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 2016
An earthquake of estimated local magnitude (ML) 6.0 struck central Italy on the 24th of August (01:36:32 UTC) in the vicinity of Accumoli (close to Rieti, central Italy) initiating a long-lasting seismic sequence that also featured events of larger ...

Fundamentals of Thermal Transport and Energy Conversion in Ultra‐High Temperature Ceramics: From Microscale Mechanisms to Macroscopic Properties

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This review critically examines thermal transport and radiative properties of ultra‐high temperature ceramics for hypersonic flight, advanced nuclear systems, and next‐generation energy conversion devices. It explores phonon–photon–electron interactions, microstructural engineering, thermoelectric conversion, and machine learning‐accelerated multiscale

How cold is too cold? A theoretical analysis of the optimal trigger for index insurance for frost damage to crops

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Crop insurance is undoubtedly an extremely valuable element in protecting agricultural businesses, but in many cases standard indemnity‐based products have had very low uptake due to high transaction costs elevating premiums to unaffordable levels.

The study of ground motion amplification based on an SMASS array site

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
There is a consensus in earthquake engineering that different soil structures have significant effects on ground motion. Three main methods can be used to study this issue: theoretical analysis, numerical simulation, and earthquake records analysis ...

The Challenge of Defining Upper Bounds on Earthquake Ground Motions [PDF]

open access: yesSeismological Research Letters, 2004
Recent studies to assess very long-term seismic hazard in the United States and in Europe have brought the issue of upper limits on earthquake ground motions into the arena of problems requiring attention from the engineering seismological community. Few engineering projects are considered sufficiently critical to warrant the use of annual frequencies ...

Application of a novel schema for describing fossil fern foliage and investigating taxonomic and morphological change across the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary in western North America

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise The Chicxulub asteroid impact at the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) boundary triggered a mass extinction 66 million years ago. Ferns thrived in the aftermath of the extinction, evidenced by the well‐documented “fern spore spike.” However, fern macrofossil records across the K–Pg boundary are less understood.

Inferring Earthquake Ground‐Motion Fields with Bayesian Networks [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 2017
Bayesian networks (BNs) have the ability to perform inference on uncertain variables given evidence on observed quantities, which makes them relevant mathematical tools for the updating of ground-motion fields based on strong-motion records or macroseismic observations.
