Seismogenic Structures

The seismic sequence that struck Emilia area (northern Italy) on May-June 2012 represented an important case study for scientists involved in the Earth sciences. Multidisciplinary and multiparametric datasets were collected from the beginning of the seismic sequence. Geological, geochemical and geophysical data were rapidly analyzed, to identify the seismogenic structures, to define the level of damage, and to study the effects on the environment, with the ultimate goal being to better understand earthquakes and to provide new knowledge for civil protection applications.

Severe Damage

The Emilia seismic sequence that struck northern Italy on May-June 2012 had a relevant social, cultural, emotional and economical impact. There were 17 victims, and it caused severe damage in many localities, especially to the historical centers and factories. From the scientific point of view, the sequence represented an important case study and the whole geophysical community focused their attention on it. [...]<br />

Role Based

Abstract Hoerl and McCormack demonstrate that although animals possess a sophisticated temporal updating system, there is no evidence that they also possess a temporal reasoning system. This important case study is directly related to the broader claim that although animals are manifestly capable of first-order (perceptually-based) relational reasoning, they lack the capacity for higher-order, role-based relational reasoning. We argue this distinction applies to all domains of cognition.

And Function

Karpophoros, fruit-bearing, is an epithet easily considered as “literary”, i.e., a poetic name with little or no relation to cult. The epigraphic sources, however, clearly show us that gods thus named were offered divine worship. The epithet is found in connection with several deities. Goddesses of agriculture, such as Demeter, and Ge, the Earth, naturally carry this name, but so do Zeus, Dionysos and a goddess known as “The Aiolian”, who was sometimes associated with Agrippina. This paper surveys deities known as karpophoroi and examines what their cult entailed. Its focus is, however, on a brief Acropolis inscription, IG II2 4758, where Ge is honoured as Karpophoros, in accordance with an oracle. The case study provides insights into the Attic cult of Ge, the epithet Karpophoros, as well as the use and function of epithets within Greek dedicatory language.
