Effects of Surface Geology on Seismic Motion (ESG): General State-of-Research

Mapping heartwater (cowdriosis) in Tanzania using national tick survey and cattle seroprevalence data from 1998–2001

Heartwater (ehrlichiosis or cowdriosis) is a domestic and wild ruminant disease caused by a bacterium called Ehrlichia ruminantium. The pathogen is transmitted among susceptible hosts by ticks of the genus Ambylomma. The enzootic areas of the disease correspond to the distribution of vector ticks in southern, eastern,...

Numerical Study of Blast-Induced Liquefaction Test in Silty Sands

Soil liquefaction typically occurs during and following earthquakes, although it may also be triggered by non-seismic dynamic loading. While liquefaction is systematically investigated using laboratory element tests, critical field-scale aspects, such as soil fabric and complex boundary conditions, remain challenging t...
