Abstract The objective of this paper is to develop a methodology for calibration of a discrete element grain-based model (GBM) to replicate the hydro-mechanical properties of a brittle rock measured in the laboratory, and to apply the calibrated model to simulating the ...

Assessing initiation of rock-slope deformation and paleo-slip rates of rockslides is important to understand the impact of climate variability - in particular permafrost changes - on rockslide activity. Norway, with 6–6.5% permafrost cover today, continues to experience...

Abstract Emerging technologies support a new era of applied wildlife research, generating data on scales from individuals to populations. Computer vision methods can process large datasets generated through image‐based techniques by automating the detection and identifi...

Abstract This study presents results of laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) elemental analysis of scattered dolomite crystals in the Upper Ordovician Utica Shale of southern Quebec to investigate the geochemical cause(s) of color vari...

Abstract During successive Pleistocene ice ages, Finnish Lapland lay under the cold-based centre of the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet (FIS). This area largely escaped deep glacial erosion by the fast-flowing wet-based ice streams that developed toward the periphery of success...

Abstract Context Several studies investigated the impact of anti-patterns (i.e., “poor” solutions to recurring design problems) during maintenance activities and reported that anti-patterns significantly affect the developers’ effort required to edit files. However, bef...

To recall a list of items just after the end of the presentation, participants must encode both the items and the order in which they were presented. Despite a long history of studying item and order information, little is known regarding the relation between them. Here...

Deep‐water deposits are important archives of Earth’s history including the occurrence of powerful flow events and the transfer of large volumes of terrestrial detritus into the world’s oceans. However the interpretation of depositional processes and palaeoflow conditio...
