There is a trade off between the half life and the intensity of radiation (i.e. the number of particle emissions per unit time), correct? So even if waste products are radioactive for thousand of years, they can be more easily handled than

The actual journal article is here (open access): https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/antiquity/article/ru... Based on the images, I think that the largest structure is about here: 18.891548°N, -89.

It was assumed (correctly) by not long after Cowper's time that the strata were of different ages because of the different fossil assemblages in them, but of course no one had any data-derived numbers to put on the different eras. Furt

Doyne Farmer's group at Oxford does 'agent-based' economics simulations in this vein. He has a new book called 'Making Sense of Chaos' that describes it.

I don’t know if this is compatible with your use case, but as a working scientist interested in my sub field and those adjacent, I subscribe to email alerts from publishers (all nonprofit scientific societies with the exception of Nature).

Much of O’Keeffe’s work relates to gender in a way that was counter to the zeitgeist of the contemporaneous southwest. Johnson more or less embodied a nascent Delta blues, defining it on wax, then died. It was too early in the codification

The Nankai Trough is the name for the oceanic trench where the Philippine Sea tectonic plate subducts below the eastern margin of the Eurasian tectonic plate, where southern Japan sits. The interface between the two plates is the subduction

The Blind Boys of Alabama do great covers of Jesus Gonna Be Here and Way Down in the Hole, both on the Spirit of the Century album. The version of Amazing Grace set to the music of House of the Rising Sun, though, is to me the standout on

It's possible. Seismicity has been associated with reservoirs[1] (the most well known is probably an earthquake in Egypt following the construction of the Aswan High Dam) and even rainfall[2]. There are both potential triggers from the

Earthquake waves have several propagation speeds, because there are different types of waves. The fastest is called the P-wave, which is a compressional (longitudinal) wave, similar to a sound wave, with a velocity of ~5-8 km/s for typ

Typically the analysis is done by digging trenches across the fault and dating pieces of charcoal found in the sediment with radiocarbon. This study is rare but not unique in using cored trees, or slices of stumps if possible, and dating th

Portland is probably similarly affected by the subduction zone, but the inland fault system is not as active as in Seattle. Nonetheless, there is a fault that is underneath the Portland Hills that could do some damage to the city. The seism

Personally, I do heavy coding and writing in Neovim (with more extensive config, like LSP and Copilot), but I use macvim and gvim (depending on which OS I'm using) for quick edits or file viewing, because I often need to open files fro
