ROCKING AND KINEMATIC APPROACHES FOR RIGID BLOCK ANALYSIS OF MASONRY WALLS: STATE OF THE ART AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Rocking and Kinematic Approaches for Rigid Block Analysis of Masonry Walls: State of the Art and Recent Developments

The assessment of the rocking and overturning response of rigid blocks to earthquakes is a complex task, Sugar Bowl due to its high sensitivity to the input motion, variations in geometry and dissipation issues.This paper presents a literature review dealing with classical and advanced approaches on rocking motion with particular reference to mason

Life history strategy dictates thermal preferences across the diel cycle and in response to starvation in variable field crickets, Gryllus lineaticeps

Insects behaviorally thermoregulate across the diel cycle, and their preferred microhabitats change based on current resources available and the thermal performance optima of traits.Specific combinations of traits being prioritized are set by life history strategies, making life history an important intrinsic determinant of thermal preferences.Howe
