Assessment of potential strong ground motions in the city of Rome

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 1994
A methodology is used which combines stochastic generation of random series with a finite-difference technique to estimate the expected horizontal ground motion for the city of Rome as induced by a large earthquake in the Central Apennines.

Evaluation of underground blast-induced ground motions through near-surface low-velocity geological layers

open access: yesJournal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 2023
Surface ground motion produced by underground blasts is significantly influenced by near-surface geological conditions. However, near-surface low-propagation velocity layers were always ignored in past analyses of ground motions due to their thin ...

Limits of Earthquake Early Warning Accuracy and Best Alerting Strategy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
We explore how accurate earthquake early warning (EEW) can be, given our limited ability to forecast expected shaking even if the earthquake source is known.

Spectral element method simulation of three-dimensional sedimentary basin under reverse-fault earthquakes

open access: yes地震科学进展, 2020
Near-fault ground motion can cause serious earthquake disaster in the near-field area,especially when there is sedimentary topography in the area. At present,there are no reports on the ground motion response of sedimentary basins under the action of ...

Biomechanical analysis of the penalty-corner drag-flick of elite male and female hockey players [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The aim of this study was to analyse the kinematic sequencing in the penalty-corner drag-flicks of elite male and female field hockey players of international calibre. Thirteen participants (one skilled male drag-flicker and six male and six female elite

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Effects of Near-Fault Ground Motions on Civil Infrastructure

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
Near-fault earthquakes (NFEs), characterized by high peak ground velocity (PGV) and long period pulses, show different properties from far-field ones [...]

Slow light in paraffin-coated Rb vapor cells

open access: yes, 2006
We present preliminary results from an experimental study of slow light in anti-relaxation-coated Rb vapor cells, and describe the construction and testing of such cells. The slow ground state decoherence rate allowed by coated cell walls leads to a dual-
