Boreas, EarlyView.Map of Lower sediment (LS) thickness is a surrogate for the distribution of Thorncliffe Formation (TF) and ~75% of TF thickness from the slope of Niagara Escarpment east to Brighton. Inset images show the LS sequence at the Don Valleys brickyards (DVBY) and undeformed TF sand and gravel (~15 m) below Newmarket Till (NT) at sites L and Co.

A Tale of Two Conditions: 50 Years of Chronic Illness and Cancer From a Nursing Perspective
Journal of Advanced Nursing, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction In this commentary, I consider the disparity between the care we see as a necessity for cancer patients and the lack of care we afford to many persons with chronic disease. Background I ground my arguments in my own clinical practice and research experiences over a 50‐year period augmented by reference to available literature ...

Uncertainty and sensitivity analysis of functional risk curves based on Gaussian processes
, 2016 A functional risk curve gives the probability of an undesirable event as a function of the value of a critical parameter of a considered physical system. In several applicative situations, this curve is built using phenomenological numerical models which

Tracking Dehydration Reactions and Fossil Fluid Flux in Shear Zones Using Garnet Microstructures
Journal of Metamorphic Geology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Shear zones act as preferential fluid pathways during prograde and retrograde stages of metamorphism. Nonetheless, we still have limited knowledge of the drainage and permeability of natural settings. The preserved signature of fluid in exhumed rocks provides insights into fluid flow during burial and exhumation.

Banking Development and the Economic Impact of Natural Disasters: From Short to Long Term Effects
Journal of Regional Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper investigates how financial development and local banking structures shape the economic resilience of communities in the aftermath of natural disasters. Focusing on Italian municipalities hit by earthquakes between 2008 and 2022, we explore the role of banking presence, particularly cooperative banks, in supporting recovery.

Seismic fragility analysis of reinforced masonry buildings
, 2013 Reinforced masonry walls are a widely used lateral force resisting system for buildings around the world. These structures, if not correctly detailed to resist earthquake loads, are a main cause of casualties and economic losses, particularly in developing countries.

Home Safe Home: Safety Gains Through Telework During the Covid‐19 Pandemic
LABOUR, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper exploits exogenous shifts in work organisation during the Covid‐19 pandemic to study the implications of hybrid and remote work arrangements on occupational safety. Combining accident registers and household survey microdata from Hungary, we are able to address potential selection and reporting bias, and reliably identify the ...
