Boreas, EarlyView.The AlpIce‐1 database is the first compilation of published geomorphological and geochronological markers constraining build‐up, culmination and decay of glaciers from the Last Glacial Maximum through the Holocene across the entire European Alps. AlpIce‐1 integrates more than 4200 surface‐exposure and radiocarbon ages, homogenized, quality controlled ...

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Background and Purpose Episodic ataxia type 1 (EA1) is an autosomal dominant neurological disorder caused primarily by loss‐of‐function mutations in the voltage‐gated potassium channel Kv1.1 (KCNA1). Small molecules that restore Kv1.1 activity hold promise as targeted therapies for EA1, yet current pharmacological strategies remain limited ...

Dynamic Wave Trains: A Procedural Approach to Spatially Varying Ocean Synthesis
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.In this paper, we present a high performance procedural model capable of synthesizing and rendering a virtually infinite ocean. Our method exhibits spatial variations as the orientations, speed and choppiness of the waves is parametrized for each frequencies and each point in space. The provided visual abstract exhibits a sunset rendering of a large 40

Influence of Spatial Variability of Tensile Strength on Seismic Cracking of Gravity Dam
工程科学与技术, 2019 Since the uneven construction quality and the inherent heterogeneity of concrete, the material properties of the gravity dam have spatial variability. The spatial variability of the concrete strength parameters will affect the seismic performance of dams,

Thermal-stress behaviour of RCC gravity dams [PDF]
FME Transactions, 2015 Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) is a special concrete mixture with low cement content, frequently used for concrete gravity dams. This paper deals with the 3D finite element model for unsteady phased thermal-stress analysis of RCC dams. Model calibration

Primal SPH Solver for Strongly Coupled Multiphase Simulations with High Density Ratios
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract In recent years, the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) approach has been increasingly used for multiphase simulations involving interactions between diverse materials. A critical component of an SPH simulator is the pressure solver, which not only facilitates the simulation of compressible or incompressible fluids but also handles contact ...

Seismic Damage Analysis of Concrete Gravity Dam Based on Wavelet Transform
Shock and Vibration, 2016 The key to the dam damage assessment is analyzing the remaining seismic carrying capacity after an earthquake occurs. In this paper, taking Koyna concrete gravity dam as the object of study, the dynamic response and damage distribution of the dam are ...

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Rewilding is often summarized with the three C's of Carnivores, Cores and Corridors. In this essay we propose a complementary perspective that focuses on the three B's of Bovines, Buffers and Barriers. This complementary perspective draws attention to rewilding as a social (rather than only ecological) challenge and is illustrated with insights from ...
