Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.Abstract The long‐term viability of Jatropha curcas as a biodiesel feedstock has been widely debated. Many early initiatives failed to deliver consistent economic returns despite promising environmental attributes. This study re‐evaluated J. curcas‐based systems within an integrated environmental–economic framework, focusing on their potential role in ...

Ensemble‐based soil liquefaction assessment: Leveraging CPT data for enhanced predictions
Civil Engineering Design, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 23-35, March 2025.Abstract This study focuses on predicting soil liquefaction, a critical phenomenon that can significantly impact the stability and safety of structures during seismic events. Accurate liquefaction assessment is vital for geotechnical engineering, as it informs the design and mitigation strategies needed to safeguard infrastructure and reduce the risk ...

NEW SEISMIC SOURCE ZONE MODEL FOR PORTUGAL AND AZORES [PDF]
, 2010 The development of seismogenic source models is one of the first steps in seismic hazard assessment. In seismic hazard terminology, seismic source zones (SSZ) are polygons (or volumes) that delineate areas with homogeneous characteristics of seismicity ...

Seismic hazard assessment in Belgium
Geologica Belgica, 2001 The seismic hazard assessment has been conducted on the Belgian territory conforming to Eurocode 8, the European earthquake building code. The study was performed using the seismological database of the Royal Observatory of Belgium and the publications and open reports available for geological and geophysical data.

Time-dependent probabilistic seismic hazard assessment and its application to Hualien City, Taiwan [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2013 Here, we propose a time-dependent probabilistic seismic hazard assessment and apply it to Hualien City, Taiwan. A declustering catalog from 1940 to 2005 was used to build up a long-term seismicity rate model using a smoothing Kernel function.
