“There's Pressure to Use Standard English”: Lingering Linguicism in the Work of Signed Language Interpreters

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Applied linguistics and interpreting have much in common; however, the education of signed language interpreters in the States provides barely any applied linguistics training. Linguistic racism (linguicism) frames the education and evaluation of sign language interpreters.

Rethinking microtidal systems: Tidal signatures in the fluvial deposits of the Po River, Italy

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In microtidally influenced rivers, tides are generally assumed to leave virtually no signatures in the sedimentary record. However, this hypothesis has been surprisingly poorly tested using modern river analogues, which provide an opportunity to assess whether sedimentary signatures of microtidal regimes can develop in rivers that lack ...

Coupled plagioclase dissolution and K‐feldspar overgrowth precipitation preserve anomalously high permeability in deeply buried sandstones

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigated the formation mechanism responsible for anomalously high permeability (AHP) observed in the Eocene sandstones at depths from 3824 to 3832 m in the Huizhou Sag, Pearl River Mouth Basin, China, using helium porosity and permeability measurements, thin section, scanning electron microscopy, electron probe X‐ray ...

Enhancing Performance-Based Bridge Seismic Design with Seismic Performance Testing

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2005
Introducing performance-based criteria to bridge seismic design increases the demand for seismic performance testing results that can be compared with each other to provide critical information used in the design. The current practice of seismic performance testing of bridge piers employs diverse testing conditions.

Seismic Performance Spectra

Advanced Materials Research, 2010
The seismic performance spectrum is a new kind of the response spectra which is formed according to the designated performance objectives. The performance objectives are changed according to the performance objective level and period of structure, and are different in the acceleration sensitive, velocity sensitive and displacement sensitive range in ...

Seismic demand on non‐structural elements for quantifying seismic performance factors

Earthquake Engineering & Structural Dynamics, 2022
AbstractThe quantification of non‐structural seismic performance factors is a crucial step to improve the seismic performance of non‐structural elements (NSEs). Non‐structural seismic performance factors currently included in modern seismic design provisions are mainly based on engineering judgment and have not been calibrated to meet specific ...

The need for upgrading the seismic performance objectives

Earthquakes and Structures, 2014
The economic consequences of large earthquakes require a revolutionary change in the seismic performance objective of residential and commercial buildings. The majority of total construction costs consist of non-structural and architectural costs. Therefore, the aim of this research is to upgrade current Life Safety performance objectives and to offset
