- Principal Geotechnical Aspects of the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake
This paper presents an overview of the principal geotechnical features of the Loma Prieta Earthquake of October 17, 1989 (M S = 7 1) Damage patterns for this event were strongly controlled by geological geotechnical factors including site-specific ground response, soil liquefaction, and slope stability failures In addition to describing these features and the associated damages, this paper
- Current status and pillars of direct air capture technologies
Climate change calls for adaptation of negative emission technologies such as direct air capture (DAC) of carbon dioxide (CO2) to lower the global warming impacts of greenhouse gases Recently, elevated global interests to the DAC technologies prompted implementation of new tax credits and new policies worldwide that motivated the existing DAC companies and prompted the startup boom There are

- Packing it in: Chromos Molecular Systems Inc. Athersys Inc.
Although Gattaca’s script was profoundly snooze-inducing, its premise of widespread germline engineering is starting to look reasonable “I certainly think it will happen,” says Princeton geneticist Lee Silver “The only question is when ” Gregory Stock, director of the University of California, Los Angeles, Program on Medicine, Technology and Society, co-organized a 1998 symposium
