Rocking Analysis of Towers Subjected to Horizontal Forces
In seismic-prone areas, ecclesiastical masonry complexes have shown very high vulnerability, as detected after the last Italian earthquakes, such as those that occurred in L’Aquila (2009), Emilia-Romagna (2012), Central Italy (2016), and Ischia (2017 ...

Shaking table tests on seismic response of rocking frame structure considering foundation uplift
The separation of structural foundation and foundation soil, namely the foundation uplift, is inevitable in strong earthquakes, so the concept of rocking isolation is gradually proposed.

The rock, the whole rock, and everything about the rock
The traditional documentation methods of rock art only rarely record the context and relations of the imagery in full. The new 3D techniques, however, offer interesting possibilities for documenting and analyzing petroglyphs, and are well-equipped to suit such tasks.

Readaptation Treatment of Mal de Debarquement Syndrome With a Virtual Reality App: A Pilot Study
Mal de Debarquement syndrome (MdDS) is composed of constant phantom sensations of motion, which are frequently accompanied by increased sensitivity to light, inability to walk on a patterned floor, the sensation of ear fullness, head pressure, anxiety ...

An explicit limit for the overturning of a rigid block is derived on the input level of the triple impulse and the pseudo-triple impulse as a modified version of the triple impulse that are a substitute of a near-fault forward-directivity ground motion ...

Sleep Induction by Mechanosensory Stimulation in Drosophila
Summary: People tend to fall asleep when gently rocked or vibrated. Experimental studies have shown that rocking promotes sleep in humans and mice. However, the mechanisms underlying the phenomenon are not well understood.
