Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT For millennia, human activities have transformed ecosystems globally. Determining which landscapes are predominantly anthropogenic is crucial to conservation and habitat restoration. Madagascar, a critically‐threatened biodiversity hotspot, is a prominent example.

Effect of nonlinearity of restrainer and supports on the elasto-plastic seismic response of continuous girder bridge [PDF]
Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2014 During an earthquake, the nonlinearity of the bridge structure mainly occurs at the supports, bridge piers and restrainers. When entering nonlinear stage, members of the bridge structure affect the elasto-plastic seismic response of the whole structure ...

Ensemble‐based soil liquefaction assessment: Leveraging CPT data for enhanced predictions
Civil Engineering Design, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 23-35, March 2025.Abstract This study focuses on predicting soil liquefaction, a critical phenomenon that can significantly impact the stability and safety of structures during seismic events. Accurate liquefaction assessment is vital for geotechnical engineering, as it informs the design and mitigation strategies needed to safeguard infrastructure and reduce the risk ...

Rapid response to the earthquake emergency of May 2012 in the Po Plain, northern Italy
Annals of Geophysics, 2012 Rapid-response seismic networks are an important element in the response to seismic crises. They temporarily improve the detection performance of permanent monitoring systems during seismic sequences.

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.This study highlights that with the static and time‐dependent evolution of slip versus dilation tendency parameter space, structurally controlled deep geothermal systems can be selected within areas of higher permeability and lower seismic hazard. Abstract Faults play a vital role in the Earth's hydraulic system by facilitating fluid flow when dilating

X-Bracing Configuration And Seismic Response
, 2014 Concentric bracing systems have been in practice for many years because of their effectiveness in reducing seismic response. Depending on concept, seismic design codes provide various response modification factors (R), which itself consists of different terms, for different types of lateral load bearing systems but configuration of these systems are ...
