TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the effect of different levels of abstraction on the performance of the system and propose an approach to improve the system performance in terms of the quality of the results.
Abstract: В статье предлагаются обновленные эконометрические оценки эффективных предельных ставок подоходного налога для 23 стран ОЭСР с 1951 по 1990 гг. Регрессионный анализ показывает отрицательную корреляцию данных ставок с экономическим ростом. Полученные результаты соответствуют теории эндогенного роста и противоречат утверждениям, представленным в основном в эмпирической литературе, основанным на оценке эффективных средних ставок подоходного налога.

TL;DR: In this article, a 2D electrical resistivity tomogram (ERT) was used to identify the main structural boundaries defining the shallow architecture of the La Fossa cone, and the self-potential, CO2 flux from the soil, and temperature along these profiles at the same locations.
Abstract: La Fossa cone is an active stratovolcano located on Vulcano Island in the Aeolian Archipelago (southern Italy). Its activity is characterized by explosive phreatic and phreatomagmatic eruptions producing wet and dry pyroclastic surges, pumice fall deposits, and highly viscous lava flows. Nine 2-D electrical resistivity tomograms (ERTs; electrode spacing 20 m, with a depth of investigation >200 m) were obtained to image the edifice. In addition, we also measured the self-potential, the CO2 flux from the soil, and the temperature along these profiles at the same locations. These data provide complementary information to interpret the ERT profiles. The ERT profiles allow us to identify the main structural boundaries (and their associated fluid circulations) defining the shallow architecture of the Fossa cone. The hydrothermal system is identified by very low values of the electrical resistivity ( 400 Ω m). Inside the crater it is possible to follow the plumbing system of the main fumarolic areas. On the flank of the edifice a thick layer of tuff is also marked by very low resistivity values (in the range 1–20 Ω m) because of its composition in clays and zeolites. The ashes and pyroclastic materials ejected during the nineteenth-century eruptions and partially covering the flank of the volcano correspond to relatively resistive materials (several hundreds to several thousands Ω m). We carried out laboratory measurements of the electrical resistivity and the streaming potential coupling coefficient of the main materials forming the volcanic edifice. A 2-D simulation of the groundwater flow is performed over the edifice using a commercial finite element code. Input parameters are the topography, the ERT cross section, and the value of the measured streaming current coupling coefficient. From this simulation we computed the self-potential field, and we found good agreement with the measured self-potential data by adjusting the boundary conditions for the flux of water. Inverse modeling shows that self-potential data can be used to determine the pattern of groundwater flow and potentially to assess water budget at the scale of the volcanic edifice.

TL;DR: In this paper, a dataset of trench fill thickness and upper plate strain for 44 segments of the global subduction network was used to investigate the relationship between the two factors and the occurrence of giant earthquakes.
Abstract: [1] Giant earthquake (moment magnitude Mw ≥ 8.5) forecasts for subduction zones have been empirically related to both tectonic stresses and geometrical irregularities along the subduction interface. Both of these controls have been suggested as able to tune the ability of rupture to propagate laterally and, in turn, exert an important control on giant earthquake generation. Here we test these hypotheses, and their combined influence, by compiling a dataset of trench fill thickness (a proxy for smoothing of subducting plate relief by sediment input into the subduction channel) and upper plate strain (a proxy for the tectonic stresses applied to the subduction interface) for 44 segments of the global subduction network. We statistically compare relationships between upper plate strain, trench sediment thickness and maximal earthquake magnitude. We find that the combination of both large trench fill (≥1 km) and neutral upper plate strain explains spatial patterns of giant earthquake occurrence to a statistically significant degree. In fact, the concert of these two factors is more highly correlated with giant earthquake occurrence than either factor on its own. Less frequent giant earthquakes of lower magnitude are also possible at subduction zones with thinner trench fill and compressive upper plate strain. Extensional upper plate strain and trench fill < 0.5 km appear to be unfavorable conditions, as giant earthquakes have not been observed in these geodynamical environments during the last 111 years.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report on new stratigraphic, palaeomagnetic and anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) results from the Amantea basin, located on the top of a brittlely extended upper plate, separated from a blueschist lower plate by a low-angle top-to-thewest extensional detachment fault.
Abstract: We report on new stratigraphic, palaeomagnetic and anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) results from the Amantea basin, located on-shore along the Tyrrhenian coast of the Calabrian Arc (Italy). The Miocene Amantea Basin formed on the top of a brittlely extended upper plate, separated from a blueschist lower plate by a low-angle top-to-the-west extensional detachment fault. The stratigraphic architecture of the basin is mainly controlled by the geometry of the detachment fault and is organized in several depositional sequences, separated by major unconformities. The first sequence (OSI) directly overlaps the basement units, and is constituted by Serravallian coarse-grained conglomerates and sandstones. The upper boundary of this sequence is a major angular unconformity locally marked by a thick palaeosol (type 1 sequence boundary). The second depositional sequence OS2 (middle Tortonian-early Messinian) is mainly formed by conglomerates, passing upwards to calcarenites, sandstones, claystones and diatomites. Finally, Messinian limestones and evaporites form the third depositional sequence (OS3). Our new biostratigraphic data on the Neogene deposits of the Amantea basin indicate a hiatus of 3Ma separating sequences OSI and OS2. The structural architecture of the basin is characterized by faulted homoclines, generally westward dipping, dissected by eastward dipping normal faults. Strike-slip faults are also present along the margins of the intrabasinal structural highs. Several episodes of syn-depositional tectonic activity are marked by well-exposed progressive unconformities, folds and capped normal faults. Three main stages of extensional tectonics affected the area during Neogene-Quaternary times: (1) Serravallian low-angle normal faulting; (2) middle Tortonian high-angle syn-sedimentary normal faulting; (3) Messinian-Quaternary high-angle normal faulting. Extensional tectonics controlled the exhumation of high-P/low-T metamorphic rocks and later the foundering of the Amantea basin, with a constant WNW-ESE stretching direction (present-day coordinates), defined by means of structural analyses and by AMS data. Palaeomagnetic aoalyses performed mainly on the claystone deposits of OS1 show a post-Serravallian clockwise rotation of the Amantea basin. The data presented in this paper constrain better the overall timing, structure and kinematics of the early stages of extensional tectonics of the southern Tyrrhenian Sea. In particular, extensional basins in the southern Tyrrhenian Sea opened during Serravallian and evolved during late Miocene. These data confirm that, at that time, the Amantea basin represented the conjugate extensional margin of the Sardinian border, and that it later drifted south-eastward and rotated clockwise as a part of the Calabria-Peloritani terrane.

TL;DR: In this paper, the potentials and limitations of externally bonded composite materials in masonry structures and components, in the light of knowledge acquired from research in the field, together with the requirements and recommendations of codes and restoration documents, are discussed.
Abstract: Modern techniques and innovative materials are often quite rapidly proposed and allowed in current practice, even for restoration of historical constructions, in which essential preservation criteria must be taken into account. The considerable variability and complexity of masonry structures and types means that choosing the most appropriate structural models and interventions is particularly difficult, since they must be based on suitable knowledge of both existing and new materials, and on their interactions in environmental and loading conditions. This paper discusses the potentials and limitations of externally bonded composite materials in masonry structures and components, in the light of knowledge acquired from research in the field, together with the requirements and recommendations of codes and restoration documents. The analysis of some case studies is presented, to highlight the advantages and constraints in the use of composites for strengthening historical buildings.
