Global warming has greatly stimulated vegetation growth through both extending the growing season and promoting photosynthesis in the Northern Hemisphere (NH). Analyzing the combined dynamics of such trends can potentially improve our current understanding on changes in vegetation functioning and the complex relationship between anthropogenic and climatic drivers. This study aims to analyze the...

Abstract The seismic vulnerability of bridges may be reduced by the application Geotechnical Seismic Isolation (GSI) below foundations columns and abutments. However, role GSI on response has been limitedly examined in literature. Therefore, this research conducted to study effect applying address aforementioned gap knowledge. Advanced nonlinear dynamic three-dimensional finite element analyses...

We argue that both K + and K − must get lighter in dense medium at some density ρ > ρ 0 due to the decoupling of the vector mesons. This modifies significantly the strangeness equilibration as well as kaon condensation scenarios hitherto put forward in the literature. We note that the claimed equilibration density at GSI energies, ∼ ρ 0 /4 – which is much too low – results from a baryon chemica...

Simulations in Fermionic Molecular Dynamics simulations show, however, that even small systems exhibit all features of a phase transition, provided the total energy of the system can be determined well enough for each member of the statistical ensemble. The results are compared to the caloric curve deduced for finite nuclei by the ALADIN collaboration. The investigation of the equation of state...

Municipalities, their utilities and resource managers are designing implementing policies programs toward climate adaptation, which means governing urban water resources differently. Urban thus expanding roles responsibilities through the installation maintenance of green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) systems. This system expansion is perhaps more striking for administering GSI-related becaus...
