Boreas, EarlyView.Numerous studies have shown that during the Quaternary there were substantial fluctuations in sea level in response to glacial–interglacial climate variability, reaching lowstand positions up to 134 m below the present sea level (b.s.l.). These fluctuations have had a strong influence on the morphology of shallow shelf seas, which preserve evidence of ...

InfrastructuresAssessing seismic vulnerability is a critical step in evaluating the resilience of existing buildings, and fragility curves are widely used to quantify the probability of damage under varying levels of seismic intensity.

Journal of Petroleum Geology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Deep‐water slope channels and associated facies are a major part of clastic sediment dispersal system extending from the shelf‐edge to the abyssal plain. The toe‐thrust area of the deep‐water Niger Delta enables the analysis of these channels and their interaction with evolving fault‐controlled sea‐floor topography to be determined ...

Relay testing parametric investigation of seismic fragility [PDF]
, 1989 The seismic capacity of most electrical equipment is governed by malfunction of relays. An evaluation of the existing relay test data base at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) has indicated that the seismic fragility of a relay may depend on various ...

Politics and Justice: Aristotle, Rawls, and the Case for Realism in Political Theory
Philosophy &Public Affairs, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Aristotle's analysis of stasis in Book V of the Politics offers a striking example of “distinctively political thought,” as advocated by Bernard Williams's political realism, and in contrast to the moralist approach exemplified by John Rawls. Aristotle identifies disputes over justice, driven by partial and conflicting conceptions of equality,

State-dependent seismic fragility via pushover analysis
, 2020 Earthquakes are clustered in space and time. This means that structures in seismically active regions can be subjected to multiple consecutive instances of base acceleration, with insufficient in-between time for repair operations to take place.

Seismic evaluation of isolated skewed bridges using fragility function methodology
, 2017 A methodology, based on fragility functions, is proposed to evaluate the seismic performance of seismic isolated 45° skewed concrete bridge: 1) twelve types of seismic isolation devices are considered based on two different design parameters 2) fragility
