Farm Labor Shortage in the Pennsylvania Mushroom Industry: A Gender‐Sensitive Comparison of Farmer and Farmworker Perspectives☆

open access: yesRural Sociology, Volume 89, Issue 3, Page 404-430, September 2024.
Abstract U.S. farmers are facing a widespread labor shortage. Previous literature on the causes, mostly written by agricultural economists, has focused on the macro‐economic and political factors that have reduced the traditional agricultural labor supply from rural Latin America.

Modelling the installation of suction Caisson foundations in sand

open access: yes, 2013
Suction caisson foundations have been widely used in the offshore oil industry and the current trend is to extend their use to offshore wind farms. The caisson consists of a large hollow cylindrical structure usually made from steel, open at the base and

Technical and economic challenges for floating offshore wind deployment in Italy and in the Mediterranean Sea

open access: yesWIREs Energy and Environment, Volume 13, Issue 4, July/August 2024.
Offshore wind development complexity. Abstract Offshore wind is nowadays already well developed in the North European countries. Ninety‐nine percent of the offshore wind turbines are installed on fixed foundations in shallow waters. For areas with water depth greater than 50–60 m, the floating wind is the cheapest and mostly used technology.

Novel performance‐based seismic reinforcement method for the dry masonry retaining wall located in an urban residential area

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 53, Issue 6, Page 1935-1960, May 2024.
Abstract In Japan, recently there has been an increase in the failure of dry masonry retaining walls located in an urban residential area due to strong earthquakes. However, currently there are no established optimal seismic reinforcement methods for such dry masonry retaining walls due to issues related to workability and construction cost. This paper

An integrated geological characterization of the Mid‐Pleistocene to Holocene geology of the Sørlige Nordsjø II offshore wind site, southern North Sea

open access: yesBoreas, Volume 53, Issue 2, Page 186-226, April 2024.
In this study, we have integrated interpretations from a marine geological dataset acquired at Sørlige Nordsjø II in 2022 with legacy 3D seismic data and a review of the current understanding of the area's complex and important glacial history. The results are presented as a preliminary ground model and risk map which summarize five geological units ...
