Shear modulus reduction and damping ratios curves joined with engineering geological units in Italy [PDF]
Scientific Data, 2023 Numerical simulations of seismic site response require the characterization of the nonlinear behaviour of shallow subsoil. When extensive evaluations are of concern, as in the case of seismic microzonation studies, funding problems prevent from the ...

Seismic microzonation mapping of Greater Vancouver based on various site classification metrics
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 The goal of the multi-year seismic microzonation mapping project for Greater Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, is to produce seismic hazard maps inclusive of local site effects, in particular seismic hazard specific to one-dimensional site response ...

Cellular Mechanisms Involved in Cerebellar Microzonation [PDF]
Neuroscience, 2021 In the last 50 years, our vision of the cerebellum has vastly evolved starting with Voogd's (1967) description of extracerebellar projections' terminations and how the projection maps transformed the presumptive homogeneity of the cerebellar cortex into a more complex center subdivided into transverse and longitudinal distinct functional zones.
