Tropical forest understory birds are highly sensitive to habitat fragmentation. Recent results from a monumental Amazonian fragmentation experiment show that habitat needs of these specialized birds make mobility a liability, leading to their extinctions from forest fragments.

Abstract This article focuses on the seven monumental Qur’āns made during reign of Sultan al-Ashraf Shaʿbān II (r. 1363–1378), considered to be masterpieces Mamluk arts book.

Even with proper treatment, loss its compatibility functions deterioration structure becomes inevitable forces various humanitarian, natural and ecological crises. examined case that has experienced several phases ephemerality lif...

Should the practice of the historic preservation of built and landscape heritage necessarily be based on conservation? Monuments, listed buildings, landscapes, and other forms of built heritage, are typically regarded as immutable and untouchable—objects to be “conserved”—and as a result tend to fade from public imagination and memory (Rietveld et al., 2017). Current conservative preservation p...

In a damage avoidance design perspective, seismic rocking of rigid-like blocks, such as masonry walls, precast r.c./timber panels, art objects, etc., can be controlled through viscous elastic dampers. This paper discusses how to perform risk assessment walls undamped and damped by viscous-elastic dampers installed at the top them. Firstly, preliminary fragility analysis allows understanding rol...
