Politics and Justice: Aristotle, Rawls, and the Case for Realism in Political Theory

Philosophy &Public Affairs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aristotle's analysis of stasis in Book V of the Politics offers a striking example of “distinctively political thought,” as advocated by Bernard Williams's political realism, and in contrast to the moralist approach exemplified by John Rawls. Aristotle identifies disputes over justice, driven by partial and conflicting conceptions of equality,

Incorporating burn probability into spatial prioritization of woodland caribou habitat restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Habitat disturbance is a major driver of population declines of woodland caribou in Canada. Habitat restoration is a critical component of a successful, long‐term approach to caribou recovery; however, with limited resources, it is important to target areas where restoration efforts will provide maximum benefits to caribou.

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 ...

A Triassic chronostratigraphic and palaeogeographic framework for the Utsira High area, northern North Sea: Reconstructing a basin‐scale drainage divide

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Triassic succession of the northern North Sea comprises a series of interbedded sandstones, mudstones and conglomerates deposited under a fluctuating arid to semi‐humid climate regime, which are often difficult to correlate regionally due to differing lithostratigraphic schemes and poor age control. Despite existing regional studies on the

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.

Contourite erosional and depositional features of the Maastrichtian chalk on Jasmund peninsula (Rügen island, NE Germany)

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Seismic‐scale features such as deeply incised submarine valleys and mounded drifts together with ichnological features indicative of discontinuous sedimentation and erosional episodes have recently been documented from the Upper Cretaceous chalk in the southern Baltic Sea area.

Seismic response and design

2022
Bridges are the transportation network component most vulnerable to damage from natural disasters, compared with roads and railway lines. It is therefore of priority to adequately design new bridge structures and reassess the response of existing bridges in areas subjected to earthquake hazard.

THE EFFECTS OF THE SEISMIC INPUT ON THE SEISMIC RESPONSE OF RC BUILDINGS

Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Computational Methods in Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering (COMPDYN 2015), 2015
This work is aimed at investigating the variation of the seismic response of RC structures subjected to different ensembles of ground motions in the nonlinear dynamic analy-sis for the seismic assessment of existing RC buildings. At the current time indeed, all the main International Seismic Codes provide a soil classification which is based on the ...

Seismic response of fiber optic seismic sensors

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2017
Fiber-optic seismic sensors (FOSS) consist of an optical fiber connected to an optical interrogator, which is electro-optic instrumentation that injects pulses of coherent light into the fiber and receives and demodulates the returned signals. The optical fiber is usually contained within a protective cable.

SEISMIC GROUND RESPONSE AT LOTUNG (TAIWAN)

Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Computational Methods in Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering (COMPDYN 2015), 2015
In this paper the ground response of the Lotung experiment site during the strongmotion LSST7 occurred on May 1986 is simulated using two different numerical schemes: a simple equivalent-linear visco-elastic and a fully-coupled non-linear approach.
