Advancements and reflections on the implementation of seismic isolation technology in rural buildings

Discover Civil Engineering
Earthquakes are very common, and once they occur, they cause economic losses and casualties. To advance earthquake resistance and disaster mitigation, isolation is employed to decouple the transmission of seismic energy within structures, thereby ...

In for a penny: An empirical study of earthquake experience and non‐pharmaceutical intervention effectiveness in the Marche region

Annals of Public and Cooperative Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates whether prior exposure to natural disasters influenced individual compliance with non‐pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs), specifically lockdown measures, during the Corona Virus Infectious Disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic. Focusing on the Marche region of Italy, which experienced a severe earthquake in 2016, we exploit

Middle to Late Pleistocene landscape evolution and glacial dynamics in the Eastern Alps: the Gröbminger Mitterberg record, Austria

Boreas, EarlyView.
Glacial erosion during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) has removed much evidence of earlier glaciations and interglacials in the European Alps. At Gröbminger Mitterberg (GM), beneath a blanket of LGM till, a distinctive sediment archive preserves deposits predating the LGM.

Thorncliffe Formation: A proglacial to subglacial lacustrine basin sequence, Greater Toronto Region, Canada

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.

Limiting the effects of earthquakes on gravitational-wave interferometers

, 2017
Ground-based gravitational wave interferometers such as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) are susceptible to high-magnitude teleseismic events, which can interrupt their operation in science mode and significantly reduce the ...

The Restorative Frame: A Grounded Theory Study of Protective Factors for Foster Care Disruptions

Child &Family Social Work, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study used grounded theory to explore the protective factors for foster care placement disruptions. Twenty‐two interviews were conducted with foster parents, caseworkers and therapists involved with 14 older children or sibling sets who had undergone placement disruptions and were at high risk of experiencing future disruptions.
