Geographic variation in walking activity in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum
This study examined whether there is geographic variation in field populations, focusing on the moving activity in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum. Results showed significant differences in moving activity among field populations but no correlation with latitude or meteorological factors.

Digital near source accelerograms recorded by instrumental arrays in Tangshan, China. Part I (1982.7-1984.12) [PDF]
The ultimate goal of earthquake hazard mitigation research is to gain sufficient understanding of the phenomena involved in an earthquake to minimize the loss of life and property resulting from such an event.

This product is a colour-coded velocity map of satellite radar point targets that shows velocity estimates for around 12 million point targets in Hungary. The velocities were estimated from the motion history of each point that are based on an average of 100 independent satellite observations spread over around 6 years time span.

Effects of Boundary Condition Models on the Seismic Responses of a Container Crane
In recent years, several large earthquakes have caused the collapse of container cranes, which have resulted in halting of freighting, and significantly affected the economy.

Moving in the Dark: Enlightening the Spatial Population Ecology of European Cave Salamanders
We assessed individual interactions, movement ecology and activity patterns of a subterranean population of Speleomantes strinatii, applying spatial capture–recapture modeling to a photographic dataset of 104 individuals. ABSTRACT Space use and movement are fundamental aspects of organisms' ecology, mirroring individual fitness, behavior, and life ...

Introducing Adaptive Incremental Dynamic Analysis: A New Tool for Linking Ground Motion Selection and Structural Response Assessment [PDF]
Adaptive Incremental Dynamic Analysis (AIDA) is a novel ground motion selection scheme that adaptively changes the ground motion suites at different ground motion intensity levels to match hazardconsistent properties for structural response assessment ...

DAMAGE POTENTIAL OF EARTHQUAKE GROUND MOTIONS RECORDED IN SOUTHERN CENTRAL AMERICA
A total of 18 different components of earthquake ground motion recorded in Central America were selected to conduct an evaluation oftheir damage potential. Emphasis was placed in ground motions recorded during recent seismic activity in Costa Rica.
