Displacements on tectonic faults primarily accrue during earthquakes at rates that vary through time. To examine the processes that underlie the temporal changes in fault displacement rates we analyse displacements and ...
Displacement rates for normal and reverse faults (N = 57) are generally higher when averaged for the Holocene (~10 ka) than for the late Quaternary (~300 ka) and longer time scales. Holocene acceleration of displacement ...
Offshore piles are subjected to complex loading regimes, which include both rapidly
applied static and cyclic loads. This note describes an experimental investigation
conducted in order to assess the factors influencing ...
Rising wind generation penetrations and the distinctive inertial characteristics of associated turbine technology will impact system frequency control. While wind production will displace conventional synchronous ...
This paper presents the results of a series of field experiments performed to study the development of shaft resistance on Continuous Flight Auger piles installed in sand. The test piles were instrumented in order to ...
This article seeks to establish the extent of displacement effects across gaming products. This is a particularly difficult question to address with precision. To date, many studies have looked at policy changes such as ...
This paper addresses the distributional consequences of international sectoral relocation. We begin by looking at the gains and losses for individual countries by reviewing the implications, and real-world relevance, of ...
The rapid expansion of the offshore wind sector, coupled with increasing demand for high rise structures, has placed renewed demand on the driven piling market. In light of this industry growth, this paper reviews the ...
The decreased cost and increased processing speed for terrestrial laser scanners have made this remote sensing procedure much more attractive. The approach has two major advantages over traditional surveying: (1) a ...

This paper examines the experience of The Gambia following the liberalization of its exchange rate and financial markets in the mid-1980's. It is shown that although nominal interest rates are high, and the real interest ...
