Partitioning β-diversity reveals that invasions and extinctions promote the biotic homogenization of Chilean freshwater fish fauna.

PLoS ONE, 2020
AimExotic species' introductions together with extinction of native species represent the main mechanisms driving biotic homogenization of freshwater fish assemblages around the world.

Reduced integration schemes in micromorphic computational homogenization of elastomeric mechanical metamaterials

Advanced Modeling and Simulation in Engineering Sciences, 2020
Exotic behaviour of mechanical metamaterials often relies on an internal transformation of the underlying microstructure triggered by its local instabilities, rearrangements, and rotations. Depending on the presence and magnitude of such a transformation,

Homogenizing instrumental earthquake catalogs – a case study around the Dead Sea Transform Fault Zone

Seismica, 2023
The creation of a homogenized earthquake catalog is a fundamental step in seismic hazard analysis. The homogenization procedure, however, is complex and requires a good understanding of the heterogeneities among the available bulletins.

Compilation and Earthquake Magnitude Homogenization to update the Libyan Catalogue

المجلة الليبية لعلوم وتكنولوجيا البيئة (LJEEST), 2022
يهدف هذا العمل إلى تجميع للبيانات وتحديث الكاتالوك وتجانس القوة الزلزالية للزلازل المسجلة  في ليبيا، وهذا يتطلب الحصول على معلومات متجانسة للقوى الزلزالية من خلال تسجيلات الزلازل بالشبكة الوطنية للرصد الزلزالي (LNSN) وكذلك تسجيلات الزلازل التي يتم جمعها من المركز الدولي للزلازل (ISC).

Unified earthquake catalogue and mapping of Gutenberg–Richter parameters for the East African Rift System

Geoenvironmental Disasters, 2023
Background The initial phase of earthquake hazard assessment involves the consolidation of diverse magnitude scales, thereby requiring the homogenization of various magnitudes.

The Microstructural Degradation of Ni-Based Superalloys with Segregation under the Super-Gravity Condition

Metals, 2023
The Ni-based superalloy is used as the turbine blade, which is subject to the coupling effect of temperature and super-gravity during service. As the Ni-based superalloys are difficult to become homogenous after using the solid solution heat treatment, a

On the conceptual complexity of non-point source management: impact of spatial variability [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2020
Non-point source (NPS) pollution has degraded groundwater quality of unconsolidated sedimentary basins over many decades. Properly conceptualizing NPS pollution from the well scale to the regional scale leads to complex and expensive numerical models ...

Homogenization of Earthquake Catalogue in Terms of Magnitude in Iran and Adjoining Region [PDF]

American Journal of Geoscience, 2016
In any seismic hazard assessment a uniform earthquake catalogue is an essential parameter. In this research, an earthquake catalogue of Iran and adjacent areas was studied, using national and international catalogues. The considered region covers a quadrangle limited by 23 to 42°N and 42 to 65°E including Iran and adjacent areas.

Quasilinear problems with nonlinear boundary conditions in higher-dimensional thin domains with corrugated boundaries

Advanced Nonlinear Studies, 2023
In this work, we analyze the asymptotic behavior of a class of quasilinear elliptic equations defined in oscillating (N+1)\left(N+1)-dimensional thin domains (i.e., a family of bounded open sets from RN+1{{\mathbb{R}}}^{N+1}, with corrugated bounder ...
