Seismic behavior of bottom frame masonry structure under complex ground motion

地球与行星物理论评
In order to study the seismic performance of bottom-frame masonry structures under complex three-dimensional vibration characteristics, six types of ground shaking records with complex characteristics were selected from the ground shaking database of the

The Rising Tide Lifts Some Interest Rates: Climate Change, Natural Disasters, and Loan Pricing

The Journal of Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Banks adjust loan spreads after observing natural disasters linked to climate change. We isolate this updating process by identifying loans to borrowers at risk of, but not directly affected by, such disasters. Loan spreads for these borrowers spike in both primary and secondary markets, while no such updating occurs for non–climate‐related ...

Geophysical update of the diameter of the Zhamanshin impact structure, Kazakhstan

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The rim of the 0.9‐Ma‐old Zhamanshin impact crater in Kazakhstan is considered to be almost completely exposed via a series of hills surrounding a central flat area, indicating an apparent diameter of 14 km. This would make Zhamanshin the second largest impact crater of the Quaternary period. However, the overall geometry of these hills is not

Seismic performance of a high-rise base-isolated RC shear wall building on near-fault deep deposit

Earthquake Research Advances
The 2008 Wenchuan earthquake significantly accelerated the adoption of base isolation in seismic-prone regions in China. While traditionally used for short-period structures on stiff sites, base isolation has also been increasingly applied to high-rises ...

Designing of a new seismic base isolation system

Journal of Materials and Engineering Structures, 2019
The design of a new base isolation system is proposed in this research with the objective that the system does not transmit any force to the structure under horizontal loading. The structure must remain operational and steady. Before investigating the dynamics problem of the base isolation system, the isolator components of the model can be solved ...

Short‐term soil responses and site conditions to inverted mounding on peatland linear features in Alberta, Canada

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Seismic lines represent one of the most extensive and persistent anthropogenic disturbances in boreal peatlands, limiting forest regeneration and altering key ecosystem functions. Inverted mounding is increasingly applied to elevate planting microsites above shallow water tables, yet evidence on short‐ to medium‐term biophysical ...

Cenozoic tropical carbonate platforms in the Santos Basin, SE Brazilian Margin

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tropical carbonate platforms accompanied the latitudinal shifts of the tropical belt throughout the Cenozoic. Their flat‐topped geometries were influenced by a specific set of processes, including climate and sea‐level changes, carbonate facies, tectonics and continental runoff.

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

Sensitivity of 3D Base‐Isolated Buildings to Individual Isolator Variability

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2653-2668, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Variability in elastomeric isolators arises from differences in rubber formulation and curing, leading to noticeable changes in stiffness and damping among nominally identical bearings. While most previous studies have examined global isolator variability associated with environmental or aging effects, individual isolator variability has ...
