Megathrust earthquake sequences, comprising mainshocks and triggered aftershocks along the subduction interface and in the overriding crust, can impact multiple buildings and infrastructure in a city. The time between the mainshocks and aftershocks usually is too short to retrofit the structures; therefore, moderate\uffe2\uff80\uff90size aftershocks can cause additional damage. To have a better understanding of the impact of aftershocks on city\uffe2\uff80\uff90wide seismic risk assessment, a new simulation framework of spatiotemporal seismic hazard and risk assessment of future M9.0 sequences in the Cascadia subduction zone is developed. The simulation framework consists of an epidemic\uffe2\uff80\uff90type aftershock sequence (ETAS) model, ground\uffe2\uff80\uff90motion model, and state\uffe2\uff80\uff90dependent seismic fragility model. The spatiotemporal ETAS model is modified to characterise aftershocks of large and anisotropic M9.0 mainshock ruptures. To account for damage accumulation of wood\uffe2\uff80\uff90frame houses due to aftershocks in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, state\uffe2\uff80\uff90dependent fragility curves are implemented. The new simulation framework can be used for quasi\uffe2\uff80\uff90real\uffe2\uff80\uff90time aftershock hazard and risk assessments and city\uffe2\uff80\uff90wide post\uffe2\uff80\uff90event risk management.

It is a sequence especially interesting to study, from the perspective of seismic actions experienced by structures, because it saw nine M\u00a0\u2265\u00a05.0 earthquakes within a period of 5\u00a0months, rupturing parts of the complex central Apennine mountain range fault system. Consequently, some of the main earthquake engineering issues that arose are the multiple locations where the code-mandated seismic actions were exceeded in more than one of the main events of the sequence and the number of pre- and low-code existing buildings that suffered heavy damage or collapse due to the intensity of individual earthquakes and the cumulative effect of repeated damaging shocks. The present article picks up on these topics and uses probabilistic seismic hazard, as well as the multitude of strong ground motion recordings available from the sequence, to provide a discussion on certain issues, that are all related to the topical subject of seismic actions. These issues are: (1) the unsurprising exceedance of code spectra in the epicentral areas of strong earthquakes; (2) the particular spectral shape and damaging potential of near-source, pulse-like, ground motions, possibly related to rupture directivity; and (3) structural non-linear behaviour in the wake of a sequence that produces repeated strong shaking without the necessary respite for repair and retrofit operations.", "keywords": ["Geophysics", "Seismic Hazard", "Pulse-like ground motion", "Cumulative damage", "0211 other engineering and technologies", "Cumulative damage; Pulse-like ground motion; Seismic hazard; Civil and Structural Engineering; Building and Construction; Geotechnical Engineering and Engineering Geology; Geophysics", "Building and Construction", "02 engineering and technology", "Geotechnical Engineering and Engineering Geology", "Seismic hazard", "Civil and Structural Engineering"]}, "links": [{"href": "http://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10518-017-0295-3.pdf"}, {"href": "https://doi.org/10.1007/s10518-017-0295-3"}, {"rel": "related", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/Bulletin%20of%20Earthquake%20Engineering", "name": "related record", "description": "related record", "type": "application/json"}, {"rel": "self", "type": "application/geo+json", "title": "10.1007/s10518-017-0295-3", "name": "item", "description": "10.1007/s10518-017-0295-3", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/10.1007/s10518-017-0295-3"}, {"rel": "collection", "type": "application/json", "title": "Collection", "name": "collection", "description": "Collection", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main"}], "time": {"date": "2017-12-09T00:00:00Z"}}, {"id": "10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.143131", "type": "Feature", "geometry": null, "properties": {"updated": "2026-05-29T16:15:55Z", "type": "Journal Article", "created": "2024-08-19", "title": "Photoaging of polystyrene-based microplastics amplifies inflammatory response in macrophages", "description": "The continuous release of municipal and industrial products into the environment poses a growing concern for public health. Among environmental pollutants, polystyrene (PS) stands out as a primary constituent of environmental plastic waste, given its widespread use and high production rates owing to its durability and user-friendly properties. The detection of polystyrene microparticles (PS-MPs) in various living organisms has been well-documented, posing a serious threat due to their potential passage into the human ecosystem. In this manuscript, we aimed to study the toxicological effects of low concentrations of pristine and photoaged PS-MPs in a murine macrophage cell line. To this purpose, PS-MPs were photoaged by indoor exposure to visible light to simulate environmental weathering due to solar irradiation (PS-MPs3h). Physical characterization revealed that the irradiation treatment results in particle degradation and the possible release of nanoparticles. Monocultures of the RAW264.7\u00a0cell line were then exposed to PS-MPs and PS-MPs3h at concentrations comparable to experimental measurements from biological samples, to assess cytotoxicity, intracellular oxidative stress, primary genotoxicity, and inflammatory effects. Significant toxicity-related outcomes were observed in cells treated with both pristine PS-MPs and PS-MPs3h even at low concentrations (0,10\u00a0\u03bcg/ml and 1\u00a0\u03bcg/ml). PS-MPs3h exhibited greater adverse effects compared to PS-MPs, including reduced cell viability, increased ROS production, elevated DNA damage, and upregulation of IL-6 and NOS2 gene expression. Therefore, we can conclude that changes induced by environmental aging in the physicochemical composition of PS microplastics play a crucial role in the adverse health outcomes associated with microplastic exposure.", "keywords": ["Inflammation", "Mice", "Oxidative Stress", "RAW 264.7 Cells", "microplastics", " polystyrene", " macrophages", "Cell Survival", "Microplastics", "Macrophages", "Polystyrenes", "Animals", "Environmental Pollutants", "Reactive Oxygen Species", "DNA Damage"]}, "links": [{"href": "https://iris.cnr.it/bitstream/20.500.14243/493702/1/Aloi%20et%20al%20Chemospere%202024.pdf"}, {"href": "https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.143131"}, {"rel": "related", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/Chemosphere", "name": "related record", "description": "related record", "type": "application/json"}, {"rel": "self", "type": "application/geo+json", "title": "10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.143131", "name": "item", "description": "10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.143131", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.143131"}, {"rel": "collection", "type": "application/json", "title": "Collection", "name": "collection", "description": "Collection", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main"}], "time": {"date": "2024-01-01T00:00:00Z"}}, {"id": "10.1016/j.cropro.2012.08.016", "type": "Feature", "geometry": null, "properties": {"updated": "2026-05-29T16:15:57Z", "type": "Journal Article", "created": "2012-10-24", "title": "The Effect Of Leguminous Cover Crops And Cowpea Planted As Border Rows On Maize Ear Borers With Special Reference To Mussidia Nigrivenella Ragonot (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)", "description": "Abstract In southern Benin, the use of cover crops to improve and maintain soil fertility is on the increase.

These affect the soil structure and functions and forest productivity. Soil compaction results for instance in increased bulk density and decreased porosity, affecting soil moisture, water infiltration and aeration. The effects of timber forwarding on soil physical properties have gained little attention in boreal forests. These issues will become more important in the future since harvesting operations on unfrozen soils are getting more common due to the anticipated climate warming. In this study, changes of forest soil physical properties (bulk density, moisture content and porosity) after 1\u201310 forwarder passes on two fine-grained mineral soil sites in southern Finland were analysed. Penetration resistance and rut formation were also measured. The measurements were performed in three periods with different soil moisture conditions. The test drives were carried out with a conventional 8-wheeled forwarder with total mass of 29.8\u00a0tons. Soil bulk density increased and porosity decreased after the machinery passes. However, soil moisture content increased on one site and mainly decreased on another. The first three passes caused the greatest compaction and rutting, the first pass having the strongest impact. After the first and third pass 34\u201355% and over 70% of the total mean rut depth was formed, respectively. Further passes caused only minor rutting. The compaction and changes of soil physical properties appeared to be greater in dry conditions. Rut formation and soil mixing were greater in moist conditions. The results are, however, site-specific, and more research is needed to achieve a better understanding of the relationships between different factors affecting impacts of timber forwarding on soil.", "keywords": ["ta222", "550", "ta1172", "Soil protection", "rut formation", "Forestry", "Rut formation", "04 agricultural and veterinary sciences", "harvesting", "15.

In order to ensure a reliable fatigue assessment of such structures, it is essential that stress predictions be based on the actual structural behaviour. The response identification of operational wind turbines in a global framework constitutes a challenging problem due to the uncertainties associated with the variability of the wind loading and the dynamics of the rotor. In reducing these uncertainties, this study proposes a substructuring approach, which abolishes the need for modelling the intricate and time-varying dynamics of the rotor. Instead, response prediction is performed on a substructure model of the tower and the effect of wind loads and servo dynamics is accounted for via the estimated interface forces at the top of the support structure. The application is based on synthetic vibration data generated via the FAST software and an output-only Bayesian filter employing the structural model of the support structure. The effectiveness of the proposed framework is presented in terms of fatigue damage estimates at different locations on the tower.", "keywords": ["Wind turbine; Dynamic substructuring; Input-state estimation; Response identification; Fatigue damage", "Response identification", "Input-state estimation", "Dynamic substructuring", "Fatigue damage", "02 engineering and technology", "Wind turbine", "7.

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), a tool for evaluating environmental performance of product and technology life cycles, has yet to adequately include MNPs-related damage to soil ES, owing to factors like uncertainties in MNPs environmental fate and ecotoxicological effects, and characterizing related damage on soil species loss, functional diversity, and ES.

We find that MNPs pervade soil ecosystems worldwide, introduced through various pathways, including wastewater discharge, urban runoff, atmospheric deposition, and degradation of larger plastic debris. MNPs can inflict a range of ecotoxicity effects on soil species, including physical harm, chemical toxicity, and pollutants bioaccumulation. Methods to translate these impacts into damage on ES are under development and typically focus on discrete, yet not fully integrated aspects along the impact-to-damage pathway. We propose a conceptual framework for linking different MNPs effects on soil organisms to damage on soil species loss, functional diversity loss and loss of ES, and elaborate on each link. Proposed underlying approaches include the Threshold Indicator Taxa Analysis (TITAN) for translating ecotoxicological effects associated with MNPs into quantitative measures of soil species diversity damage; trait-based approaches for linking soil species loss to functional diversity loss; and ecological networks and Bayesian Belief Networks for linking functional diversity loss to soil ES damage. With the proposed conceptual framework, our study constitutes a starting point for including the characterization of MNPs-related damage on soil ES in LCA.", "keywords": ["2.

Late frost can destroy the photosynthetic apparatus of trees. We hypothesized that this can alter the normal cyclic dynamics of C\uffe2\uff80\uff90reserves in the wood.
We measured soluble sugar concentrations and radiocarbon signatures (\uffce\uff9414C) of soluble nonstructural carbon (NSC) in woody tissues sampled from a Mediterranean beech forest that was completely defoliated by an exceptional late frost in 2016. We used the bomb radiocarbon approach to estimate the time elapsed since fixation of mobilized soluble sugars.
During the leafless period after the frost event, soluble sugar concentrations declined sharply while \uffce\uff9414C of NSC increased. This can be explained by the lack of fresh assimilate supply and a mobilization of C from reserve pools. Soluble NSC became increasingly older during the leafless period, with a maximum average age of 5\uffc2\uffa0yr from samples collected 27\uffc2\uffa0d before canopy recovery. Following leaf re\uffe2\uff80\uff90growth, soluble sugar concentrations increased and \uffce\uff9414C of soluble NSC decreased, indicating the allocation of new assimilates to the stem soluble sugars pool.
These data highlight that beech trees rapidly mobilize reserve C to survive strong source\uffe2\uff80\uff93sink imbalances, for example due to late frost, and show that NSC is a key trait for tree resilience under global change.
Factors affecting soil disturbance caused by harvester and forwarder were studied on mid-grained soils in Finland. Sample plots were harvested using a one-grip harvester. The harvester operator processed the trees outside the strip roads, and the remaining residues were removed to exclude the covering effect of residues. Thereafter, a loaded forwarder made up to 5 passes over the sample plots. The average rut depth after four machine passes was positively correlated to the volumetric water content at a depth of 0\u00e2\u0080\u009310 cm in mineral soil, as well as the thickness of the organic layer and the harvester rut depth, and negatively correlated with penetration resistance at depths of both 0\u00e2\u0080\u009320 cm and 5\u00e2\u0080\u009340 cm. We present 5 models to predict forwarder rut depth. Four include the cumulative mass driven over a measurement point and combinations of penetration resistance, water content and the depth of organic layer. The fifth model includes harvester rut depth and the cumulative overpassed mass and provided the best fit. Changes in the penetration resistance (PR) were highest at depths of 20\u00e2\u0080\u009340 cm. Increase in BD and VWC decreased PR, which increased with total overdriven mass. After four to five machine passes PR values started to stabilize.", "keywords": ["silty soil", "ta1171", "silty soils", "rut formation", "Forestry", "04 agricultural and veterinary sciences", "SD1-669.5", "15.

When the structure is amenable to environmental variations, parameter-varying extensions of the original ARX model can be implemented, allowing for tracking of the operational variability. Yet, the latter occurs in sufficiently longer time-scales (days, weeks, months), as compared to system dynamics. For inferring a \uffe2\uff80\uff9cglobal\uffe2\uff80\uff9d, long time-scale varying ARX model, data from a full operational cycle has to typically become available. In addition, when the sensor network comprises multiple nodes, the identification of long time-scale varying, vector ARX models grow in complexity. We address these issues by proposing a distributed framework for structural identification, damage detection and localization. Its main features are: (i) the individual estimation of local, single-input-single-output ARX models at every operational point; (ii) the long time-scale representation of each individual ARX coefficient via a Gaussian process regression, which captures dependency on varying Environmental and Operational Conditions (EOCs); (iii) the establishment of a distributed residual generation algorithm for damage detection, which produces time-series of well-defined stationary statistics, with detected discrepancies used for damage diagnosis; and, (iv) exploitation of ARX-inferred mode shape curvatures, obtained via ARX-inferred global state-space models, of the healthy and damaged states, for damage localization. The method is assessed via application on two numerical case studies of different complexity, with the results confirming its efficacy for diagnostics under varying EOCs.

Forests disturbance by tropical cyclones is mostly documented by field studies of exceptionally strong cyclones and satellite-based approaches attributing decreases in leaf area. By starting their analysis from the observed damage, these studies are biased and may, therefore, limit our understanding of the impact of cyclones in general. This study overcomes such biases by jointly analyzing the cyclone tracks, climate reanalysis, and changes in satellite-based leaf area following the passage of 140\uffe2\uff80\uff89\uffc2\uffb1\uffe2\uff80\uff8941 cyclones.

Cyclones resulting in higher leaf area in their affected compared to their reference area coincided with an atmospheric pressure dipole steering the cyclone towards a region experiencing a dry spell caused by the same dipole. When the dipole was present, the destructive power of cyclones was offset by their abundant precipitation enabling forest canopies in the affected area to recover faster from the dry spell than canopies in the reference area.

One of the main products of this multi-disciplinary project funded under the European Commission\u2019s Horizon 2020 framework program, is the LIQUEFACT Reference Guide (LRG) software which incorporates both data and methodologies collected and elaborated in the project\u2019s various work packages. Specifically, this refers to liquefaction hazard maps, methodologies and results of liquefaction vulnerability analysis for both building typologies and critical infrastructures, liquefaction mitigation measures as well as cost-benefit considerations. The LRG toolbox is targeting a wider range of user groups (urban planners, facility managers, structural and geotechnical engineers, or seismic risk modelers) with different levels of technical background as well as requirements. In doing so, the LRG software toolbox shall allow
Late frost can destroy the photosynthetic apparatus of trees. We hypothesized that this can alter the normal cyclic dynamics of C\uffe2\uff80\uff90reserves in the wood.
We measured soluble sugar concentrations and radiocarbon signatures (\uffce\uff9414C) of soluble nonstructural carbon (NSC) in woody tissues sampled from a Mediterranean beech forest that was completely defoliated by an exceptional late frost in 2016. We used the bomb radiocarbon approach to estimate the time elapsed since fixation of mobilized soluble sugars.
During the leafless period after the frost event, soluble sugar concentrations declined sharply while \uffce\uff9414C of NSC increased. This can be explained by the lack of fresh assimilate supply and a mobilization of C from reserve pools. Soluble NSC became increasingly older during the leafless period, with a maximum average age of 5\uffc2\uffa0yr from samples collected 27\uffc2\uffa0d before canopy recovery. Following leaf re\uffe2\uff80\uff90growth, soluble sugar concentrations increased and \uffce\uff9414C of soluble NSC decreased, indicating the allocation of new assimilates to the stem soluble sugars pool.
These data highlight that beech trees rapidly mobilize reserve C to survive strong source\uffe2\uff80\uff93sink imbalances, for example due to late frost, and show that NSC is a key trait for tree resilience under global change.
