A procedure to predict the precise seismic response of arch dams in time domain using boundary element formulation

Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 2019
In this context, a new boundary element algorithm based on the time-convoluted traction kernels is employed to evaluate the spatially varying earthquake ground motions of the Pacoima dam in the USA subjected to SH, SV and P incident waves.

Are there morpho‐acoustic patterns of adaptation in nonhuman primate ears? Testing the role of ecology and habitat in shaping ear morphology and function

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Analysis of the variation in the bony structures of the inner and middle ear provides critical insights into functional morphology, as well as adaptive morphology across primates. In this study, we investigated whether ear morphology patterns are related to the ecological characteristics of species and their habitats to test two acoustic ...

From Capabilities to Competitive Greening: Managerial Commitment and Green Shared Vision as Serial Mediators in Energy‐Sector SMEs

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drawing on dynamic capabilities view and upper echelons theory, this study shows how energy‐sector SMEs convert dynamic capabilities into green competitive advantage. We theorize that sensing–seizing–reconfiguring routines are associated with green competitive advantage only when top managers visibly prioritize environmental goals and foster a
