A review of the supercritical state of eruption‐fed volcanic density currents in subaerial and subaqueous settings

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Subaerial Pyroclastic Density Currents (PDCs) and Subaqueous Eruption‐Fed Density Currents (SEFDCs) produced during volcanic eruptions can present major hazards to surrounding communities and ecosystems. The bedforms deposited by these volcanic density currents can provide insights into the nature of transport and depositional processes, which

Faith in the Marketplace: Christian Legal Narratives and the Refusal to Serve Gay Customers

Sociological Forum, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In June 2023, the US Supreme Court in 303 Creative v. Elenis held that an anti‐discrimination statute could not force a Christian business owner to provide certain business services to gay people. The decision has created a slew of legal and social uncertainties, which require a deeper investigation of the contemporary conflict between the gay

Collision Risk Analysis of Base-isolation Retrofitted Adjacent Buildings Connected by a Corridor Bridge

工程科学与技术, 2019
Two adjacent buildings connected by a corridor bridge were retrofitted with the base isolation technology. Considering different seismic wave incidence angles, this paper calculated seismic responses of the buildings under bidirectional earthquakes using

Shock isolation using switchable stiffness

, 2008
This study investigates a novel stiffness control strategy applied to the problem of shock isolation. This is based on the principle that the stiffness and mass are the principal physical properties that control the passive system shock response.

Seismic Base Isolation: An Energy Formulation

, 2018
One of the biggest concerns of structural engineers is the dynamic lateral load caused by ground shaking events such as earthquakes. Traditional buildings are designed to provide life safety conditions in case of severe earthquake events, by dissipating ...
