The Hollowing Out of News: The Implications of the Erosion of Public Interest Journalism
Accounting &Finance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This essay examines the structural erosion of public interest journalism and its implications for public accountability, institutional trust and research. Focusing on Australia, with Anglo‐American comparisons, it shows how economic, technological and regulatory disruptions have undermined investigative journalism, thereby weakening scrutiny ...

Water Science and Engineering, 2010 In this study, the limit state equation for tensile reliability analysis of the foundation surface of a gravity dam was established. The possible crack length was set as the action effect and allowable crack length was set as the resistance in the limit ...

Nonlinear Analysis Of Failure Mechanism Of Roller Compacted Concrete Dam [PDF]
, 2008 Seismic effects have frequently caused damage to concrete dams. The consequences of a large dam failing can be disastrous, due to large amounts of damage of properties and human lives.

Massive Gravity in de Sitter Space via Gravitational Higgs Mechanism
, 2010 In this paper we discuss massive gravity in de Sitter space via gravitational Higgs mechanism, which provides a nonlinear definition thereof. The Higgs scalars are described by a nonlinear sigma model, which includes higher derivative terms required to ...

Anomalous particle-production thresholds through systematic and non-systematic quantum-gravity effects [PDF]
, 2002 A growing number of studies is being devoted to the identification of plausible quantum properties of spacetime which might give rise to observably large effects. The literature on this subject is now relatively large, including studies in string theory,

Archaeometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Human skeletal remains constitute critical archaeological evidence for reconstructing past societies, yet their investigation requires careful ethical, cultural, and legislative consideration. This paper reports on the discovery, recovery and analysis of a set of skeletal remains encountered during a cultural heritage management (CHM ...

Stability analysis of concrete gravity dam on complicated foundation with multiple slide planes
Water Science and Engineering, 2008 A key problem in gravity dam design is providing enough stability to prevent slide, and the difficulty increases if there are several weak structural planes in the dam foundation.

Inflaton perturbations in brane-world cosmology with induced gravity [PDF]
, 2006 We study cosmological perturbations in the brane models with an induced Einstein-Hilbert term on a brane. We consider an inflaton confined to a de Sitter brane in a five-dimensional Minkowski spacetime.

Numerical modelling of masonry gravity dams considering the internal structure of the material [PDF]
, 2014 Frequently, numerical models of masonry dams disregard the discontinuous nature of the material. In some cases, those discontinuities control the structural and hydraulic behaviour of the masonry dam.

Boreas, EarlyView.Palynological records are central to the biostratigraphic subdivision of the Late Pleistocene in central Europe. Yet many interglacial and interstadial phases—such as the Eemian, Brörup and Odderade—remain only poorly constrained in time due to limited numerical dating.
