Constraining the long-term evolution of the slip rate for a major extensional fault system in the central Aegean, Greece, using thermochronology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The brittle/ductile transition is a major rheologic boundary in the crust yet little is known about how or if rates of tectonic processes are influenced by this boundary.

Injuries in deep time: interpreting competitive behaviours in extinct reptiles via palaeopathology

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For over a century, palaeopathology has been used as a tool for understanding evolution, disease in past communities and populations, and to interpret behaviour of extinct taxa. Physical traumas in particular have frequently been the justification for interpretations about aggressive and even competitive behaviours in extinct taxa.

Geological processes shaping freshwater biodiversity: a synthesis of global evidence

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent genomic data highlight the key roles of geological processes in shaping the diversification and biogeography of freshwater lineages. Specifically, physical processes such as tectonic uplift, erosion, glaciation, lake formation, and sea‐level fluctuation contribute extensively to the evolution of biotic diversity within and among ...

The Early Cretaceous structural features and its influence on hydrocarbon accumulation in the southern Hurenbuqi depression, Erlian Basin

open access: yesUnconventional Resources
The Hurenbuqi Sag, located on the Bayinbaolige uplift in the northern Erlian Basin, is a secondary depression rich in oil. In order to study the influence on hydrocarbon accumulation of the Early Cretaceous structures in the southern Hurenbuqi Sag, the ...

From Food Waste to Valorized Nanomaterials: Sustainable Green Synthesis and Biomedical Applications

open access: yesChemFoodChem, EarlyView.
Food waste‐derived biomolecules act as natural reducing and stabilizing agents for the green synthesis of functional NPs with applications in antimicrobial systems, food packaging, biomedical technologies, and environmental remediation. ABSTRACT Food waste is a global issue, with billions of tons discarded and unutilized annually, causing economic ...

Probability prediction of true‐triaxial compressive strength of intact rocks based on the improved PSO‐RVM model

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
In this work, we propose an improved particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm and develop an improved PSO‐relevance vector machine (RVM) model as a substitute for traditional true‐triaxial testing. The model's high prediction accuracy was validated through comparisons with two other machine learning methods and five three‐dimensional Hoek–Brown type

Study on the failure mechanism of the shield excavation face in the sandy cobble stratum under different buried depths

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract One of the significant challenges faced in shield tunnel construction is the risk of collapse resulting from abrupt changes in soil conditions in advance of the working face, particularly within the sandy cobble stratum. This study aims to effectively manage these sudden variations and to further investigate the failure mechanisms associated ...
