Unearthing Regulatory Influences on Climate Risk Adaptation: Exploring Asset Stranding and Regulatory Shortcomings in the US Housing Market
Financial institutions have not yet exhaustively assessed the implications that ESG risk may pose to the financial industry despite anthropogenic temperature change being duly and scientifically described in the Paris Agreement in December 2015 (Schellnhuber et al., 2016). Both banks and insurance …

Drift modelling of marine mammal carcases in coastal waters
… the reverse problem for known-location mass strandings to highlight potential at-sea mortality sites. The drift properties of carcase-like objects were assessed in at-sea experiments. Wave transport was found to be greater than Stokes drift alone and in a complex coastal area could not be …

All about alles: The syntax of wh-quantifier float in German
… I answer these questions by arguing for a stranding analysis of distal 'alles': 'alles' and its associate form a first-Merge constituent, which is optionally separated in the course of the derivation through a process that involves movement ([WH alles] ⇒ [WH. . . [[WH alles]. . . ]]). The …

Swimming sentinels : climate clues from stranded marine mammals
… in them all. This thesis examines marine mammal stranding events of the past and present to show how climate change will, and already has, impacted marine mammals, and how these events could serve as proxies for broader ecosystem changes in the years to come. By paying attention to whales and …

The syntactic and semantic roots of floating quantification
… associate by syntactic transformation (the stranding approach, Sportiche 1988; Miyagawa 1989) and that others are related only semantically (the adverbial approach, Dowty and Brody 1984; Bobaljik 1995; Doetjes 1997). Evidence for this split comes from the syntactic distribution of these …

CT Evaluation of Acut Abdominal Painin Patientswit Acute Leukemia
… the non-mortality group (p=0.0062). Mesenteric stranding was seen in 11 cases (52.38%) in the mortality group and 18 cases (26.09%) in the non-mortality group which showed statistical difference (p=0.0465). Small bowel thickness cut off value of 3 mm has sensitivity and specificity of 52.38% and …

Modelagem de fratura dúctil em colisão de embarcações utilizando modelo de dano de Lemaitre modificado
… study of accidents involving ship collisions and strandings has led to the development of different methodologies, and to simulate numerically the material’s ductile fracture, several failure criteria have been applied. With this perspective, thi3s article considers a new approach for the …

Financial incentives for low-carbon transition: from citizens to professional investors
… were therefore used to compare attitudes to stranding risk for investors in power generation assets with investors in financial assets. Asset stranding risk was found to be a more prominent issue for the former cohort, suggesting that as you move along the investment chain—away from physical …

The linear limitations of syntactic derivations
… predict the crosslinguistic distribution of stranding in intermediate positions. Chapter 3 extends these considerations to an analysis of possessor extraction in colloquial English, a phenomenon subject to numerous intricate but systematic limitations. Chapter 4 provides further evidence for …

Strategies for demonstration and early deployment of carbon capture and storage : a technical and economic assessment of capture percentage
… to the grid, thereby reducing the risk of stranding and ensuring that emissions reduction will occur. For a PC plant, the cost savings associated with partial capture are significant, and a reasonable mitigation cost ($/ton of avoided emission) is maintained. This makes partial capture for …

Analytics for financing drug development
… fund only the best projects, thereby potentially stranding less-attractive projects. Instead, such projects have the potential to be combined in larger portfolios through techniques such as securitization which reduce the cost of capital. In addition to modeling extensions, we provide examples of …

The Ecology of Cuvier’s beaked whale, Ziphius cavirostris (Cetacea: Ziphiidae), in the Bay of Biscay
… shifting north during spring and summer. Stranding records were also analyzed and compared with the sightings data, which identified regional patterns in seasonal distribution between France, the UK and Ireland. In addition to Cuvier’s beaked whale, this study investigated other …

Implementation and evaluation of a recently developed rate-dependent effective stress soil model 'MIT-SR'
… within a unified framework and resolves the long-stranding dilemma regarding creep effects at field scale (i.e., Hypothesis A vs B). This thesis implements MIT-SR model to evaluate strain rate effects on two longstanding geotechnical problems: insitu soil characterization from pressuremeter tests …

How do different kinds of contemporary Anglo-American storytelling engage audiences with the complexities of human / nonhuman and more-than-human relationships in the Anthropocene?
… The Overstory and Hideo Kojima’s videogame Death Stranding, this thesis explores various storytelling responses to the ecological crisis. It argues that a transformed version of selfhood can be seen to emerge in the past decade in relation to current ecological considerations and a growing …

Social behavior of the Cuvier’s beaked whale (Ziphius cavirostris) investigated by telemetry and photo-identification
… disturbance as this species has a history of stranding in association with certain types of human-created noise. Beyond conservation concerns, the beaked whales (Family Ziphiidae) are a valuable group for the comparative study of the ecological influences on mammalian social evolution since …
