It is not the purpose of this article to discuss all the situations in which damages are awarded by the New Jersey Court of Chancery, for all the decisions stem from one general rule, namely, that whenever a court of equity has once acquired jurisdiction of a cause, it will retain such cause in order to do full and complete justice between the parties with respect to the subject-matter. This ru...

background: stress may cause damages to dna or/and change the ability of the cells to overcome these damages. it may also cause irregularities in the cell cycle and induce abnormal cell divisions through glucocorticoid-dependent functions. the abnormal cell divisions, in turn, lead to chromosomal mal-segregation and aneuploidy. in this study, the effects of the stress hormone, hydrocortisone (h...

. introduction mass movements are among the most destructive natural disasters in mountainous areas which cause great damages of over millions of dollars to human beings' life and infrastructures across the world. landslide, as a type of mass movement, is a complex process that occurs under the influence of internal and external parameters. the main effective parameters in hillside instability ...

We investigated the seismicity patterns associated with an M = 4.8 earthquake recorded in the Aeolian Archipelago on 16, August, 2010, by means of the region-time-length (RTL) algorithm. This earthquake triggered landslides at Lipari; a rock fall on the flanks of the Vulcano, Lipari, and Salina islands, and some damages to the village of Lipari. The RTL algorithm is widely used for investigatin...

introduction: occurrence of landslides depends on several factors such as the composition and structure of earth materials, rainfall level, temperature, groundwater regime and cover crops. landslides are a main natural hazard in iran, because of its special geological conditions and its mountainous active tectonic regime. linear civil structures, such as roads, highways and railways, face serio...

1. introduction the effect of climate of the earth's surface is the result of interaction of different levels of atmosphere and lithosphere. one of the factors which influences that interaction is the way the system pressure transcends it. in this way, the system pressure changes and can be changed and eventually may become an environmental hazard and geomorphodynamic phenomenon. hazards are an...

Softening is often considered to be the main cause of first-time slides in OC clay, but so far the mechanics of softening has not been satisfactorily explained. Bearing on laboratory data and field observations about landslides in tectonized highly plastic clay shales of Italian Apennines, the paper describes a process of soil weakening that could explain some failures of natural slopes.
