The psychosocial toll of Dublin III on asylum seekers in the Netherlands
American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract The Dublin III Regulation determines which EU Member State is responsible for examining asylum claims, but its implementation carries significant consequences for those subjected to it. This study examines how Dublin III, as implemented in the Netherlands, affects asylum seekers' psychosocial wellbeing using Silove′s Adaptation and Development

Seismic structure and earthquake focal mechanisms of the Hengill volcanic complex, S W Iceland [PDF]
, 1996 Iceland provides a unique opportunity to study the processes that occur along mid- ocean ridges. In 1991, thirty temporary seismic stations were installed at the Hengill volcanic complex to record high-quality digital data from local earthquakes.

Periodic Slow Earthquakes from the Cascadia Subduction Zone
, 2002 Continuous geodetic measurements from convergent margins have shown that deep transient creep events can release large amounts of strain energy without detectable seismic shaking, and they are thus known as slow or silent earthquakes.

Recent Crustal Deformation in West-Central South America [PDF]
, 2003 I use interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) to create maps of crustal deformation along the coast and within the volcanic arc of central South America. I image deformation associated with six subduction zone earthquakes, four volcanic centers,

Slow earthquake in Afghanistan detected by InSAR [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2008 The Chaman fault system forms a prominent ∼900‐km‐long left‐lateral transform plate boundary between the Indian and Eurasian plates in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Here we show satellite radar interferometry data that revealed an afterslip (or slow earthquake) signal following an earthquake of magnitude 5.0.

Periodic slow slip triggers megathrust zone earthquakes in northeastern Japan [PDF]
, 2016 Both aseismic and seismic slip accommodate relative motion across partially coupled plate-boundary faults. In northeastern Japan, aseismic slip occurs in the form of decelerating afterslip after large interplate earthquakes and as relatively steady slip ...

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Medieval and early modern drowned villages in the intertidal zone of the Scheldt estuary (the Netherlands) constitute intriguing yet largely understudied components of north‐western Europe's underwater cultural heritage. Despite their high archaeological potential as time capsules of past settlement landscapes, research has remained limited ...

Immersive virtual reality as a teaching tool in neuroanatomy: A scoping review
Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.Abstract Basic core courses in various undergraduate programs, such as neuroanatomy, pose a challenge for students due to the large volume and complexity of the content. In this context, educational technologies such as immersive virtual reality (IVR), which allow students to actively interact with learning materials, offer a complementary pedagogical ...
