ABSTRACT This article considers how victim‐blaming and stereotypical attitudes about appropriate victim behaviour can impact upon the operation of rape trials, particularly by prejudicing a complainant's testimony where s/he can be portrayed as having departed from the stereotypical norm of a ‘real victim’.

ABSTRACT Construction megaprojects, large‐scale, complex, and capital‐intensive, are particularly prone to inefficiencies, cost overruns, delays, and environmental degradation due to fragmented workflows, stakeholder misalignment, and resource intensity.

Correlation of data on strain accumulation adjacent to the San Andreas Fault with available models [PDF]
Theoretical and numerical studies of deformation on strike slip faults were performed and the results applied to geodetic observations performed in the vicinity of the San Andreas Fault in California.

Beyond goniometry: 3D digital twinning of droplets from a single image
We present a method to produce physics‐informed three‐dimensional digital twins of droplets from a single image for wettability analyses. We validate the method with goniometry and demonstrate its capabilities with advancing‐receding contact angle measurements, irregularly shaped droplets, and multi‐droplet systems, indicating strong potential for in ...

We analyze the seismicity and earthquake focal mechanisms beneath the Tiechanshan-Tunghsiao (TCS-TH) anticline over the last two decades for seismic hazard evaluation of a potential carbon dioxide storage site in northwestern Taiwan.

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

The Shunbei oil-and-gas field in the Tarim Basin features a typical strike-slip fault-controlled fractured-vuggy reservoir. The formation of these reservoirs is primarily influenced by fracturing related to structural stress during periods of fault ...

An optimizing microseismic method for rock burst early warning based on mining production process
A classification early warning method of rock burst based on hourly microseismic data is proposed, which can be combined with the on‐site production process to provide more timely warning. Abstract Microseismic (MS) events have been reported in nearly every coal mining country, which could well lead to rock burst in underground coal mines.

Source processes of large earthquakes along the Xianshuihe fault in southwestern China [PDF]
The Xianshuihe fault is one of the most active faults in southwestern China. Recently, three large earthquakes occurred along it in 1967 (M_s = 6.1), 1973 (M_s = 7.5), and 1981 (M_s = 6.8).
