Microbialite Niches Across the Archean and Paleoproterozoic
Abstract Changes in microbialite abundance during the Archean and Paleoproterozoic have been attributed to a variety of environmental and biological factors, yet past work looking at large‐scale patterns of microbialite abundance generally assumes shallow marine deposition rather than incorporating specific settings.

Tensile response of textile reinforced concrete incorporating synthetic fibres
Abstract Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC) is a composite material where a textile fabric (typically in carbon) is embedded within a cementitious matrix. This material has emerged as a promising alternative to conventional reinforced concrete, allowing for the construction of light and durable structures with a limited impact in terms of CO2‐eq ...

NExT‐LF: A Novel Operational Modal Analysis Method via Tangential Interpolation
ABSTRACT Operational modal analysis (OMA) is vital for identifying modal parameters under real‐world conditions, yet existing methods often face challenges with noise sensitivity and stability. This study introduces NExT‐LF, a novel method that combines the well‐known Natural Excitation Technique (NExT) with the Loewner Framework (LF). NExT enables the

Conception of cable-stayed curved deck: the effects of unilateral suspension
In systems of suspended cable bridges, the cable-stayed bridges have been widely used because of its capacity to overcome large spans and not require large areas of support during their execution, minimizing interference with existing vehicle flow or ...

Abstract Although using a heavy vehicle at a consistent speed is a common method to estimate displacement influence lines or displacement influence surfaces (DILs/DISs) of vehicular bridges, it requires algorithms to separate the dynamic and static components from measured displacements.

Central area redd project [Ribble, Hodder and Lune catchments] [PDF]
Redd counting is an integral part of most Fishery Officers duties. The number and distribution of salmonid redds throughout salmonid catchments provides invaluable information on the range and extent of spawning by both salmon and sea trout.

Experimental evaluation of vibration based damage identification techniques on a pedestrian bridge
Failures of civil structures, such as bridges, due to natural events or anthropic loads can generate significant social and economic impacts. As an alternative for the identification of damage in these structures, dynamic structural health monitoring has

Killing, letting die, and normative inertia
Abstract According to commonsense and deontological ethics, it is impermissible to kill a person in order to save the life of another person, all else being equal. But why? This article suggests a justification of this restriction. It appeals to the idea of normative inertia—very roughly, to the idea that in practical decisions, changing course is ...

TRAVEL ADJUSTMENTS AFTER ROAD CLOSURE: WORKINGTON [PDF]
The closure of all roads links between south and north Workington following the floods of November 2009 produced an unusual travel situation. Provision of a frequent and free train service and the erection of a footbridge brought good access between both

core
The paper presents numerical analysis of harmonically excited vibration of a cable-stayed footbridge caused by a load function simulating crouching (squats) while changing the static tension in chosen cables.
