Shaking Big Shoulders: Music and Dance Culture in Chicago, 1910--1925
… dissemination of the shimmy, a shoulder- and hip-shaking dance. These dances reflected the multiple and contradictory practices regarding sexuality and gender, simultaneously expressing and structuring both conservative and modern ideals. While the provocative movements of the shimmy embodied the …

Dynamic Stability of Adobe Walls (Overturning, Shaking Table, Cracking, Rocking Model, Soil)
The object of this investigation was to study the stability of adobe walls during earthquakes. Eleven specimens were tested with an earthquake simulator to understand the influence of the following variables: (1) type of ground motion, (2) slenderness (thickness/height ratio), (3) wall thickness. …

Use of Cone Penetration Testing in the Interpretation of Ground Shaking From Paleoliquefaction Evidence
… be used to estimate the severity of the ground shaking that had to occur to cause the observed liquefaction features. The database of present-day liquefaction cases is refined to add recent data and to cull older data based on a set of criteria that allow the effect of measured fines content on …

Do South African mothers shake their babies? incidence and risk factors for infant abuse in Cape Town
Abusive head trauma from shaking is a recognised common cause of fatal head injury in young children globally, although there is little evidence of its occurrence in South Africa. This is perplexing given that the country has amongst the highest reported under-five child mortality and infanticide …

The dynamics of shaken baby syndrome
… of the motion of a baby’s brain in response to shaking. Few finite element models of shaken baby syndrome exist, and those either ignore the fluid surrounding the brain or model it as a soft solid. The importance of modelling the fluid properly is demonstrated, and the reliability of …

Evaluating Late Pleistocene and Holocene Rupture, Seismic Hazards and Ground Motion in the Lake Tahoe Basin
… Although ShakeMap over-predicts ground shaking outside the Lake Tahoe basin, it substantially under-predicts ground motions within the basin. eWave propagation models indicate strong, sustained shaking in the basin, threatening several communities. Annual rates of exceedance maps show …
