The arrival of Georg Swarzenski at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston opened a formative chapter for one of the most significant medieval collections on American soil. In a tremendously ambitious enterprise, which would be continued by his son Hanns after his retirement, Georg Swarzenski amassed a collection of significant quantity and outstanding quality in a surprisingly brief span of time. W…

Media mogul and art collector William Randolph Hearst was once described by Joseph Duveen as ‘the great accumulator’. Hearst’s holdings were indeed vast, catholic, and surprisingly personal, but it would be incorrect to assume they were largely inferior in quality (an impression encouraged by Orson Welles’s thinly veiled portrait of Hearst in Citizen Kane): he bought art nearly all his …

A general method of solution for the runup evolution and some analytical results concerning a more general bathymetry than a canonical sloping beach model are presented. We studied theoretically the water wave elevation and runup generated on a continuous piecewise linear bathymetry, by solving analytically the linear shallow water wave equations in the 1+1 dimensional case. Non-horizontal line…

As the first large subduction thrust earthquake off the coast of western Guatemala in the past several decades, the 2012 November 7 Mw = 7.4 earthquake offers the first opportunity to study coseismic and postseismic behaviour along a segment of the Middle America trench where frictional coupling makes a transition from weak coupling off the coast of El Salvador to strong coupling in southern Me…

From the fourteenth century until the end of the eighteenth century, almost every town of the Kingdom of Naples had one or more Seggi where the main families used to meet in order to take decisions about the city governement. The Seggi were also the preferred places for locating antiquities and ancient inscriptions of the towns. This paper analyzes the character of such collections, focusing on…

We investigate the validity of a proposed generalized Omori–Utsu law for the aftershock sequences for the Landers, Hector Mine, Northridge and Superstition Hills earthquakes, the four largest events in the southern California catalogue we analyse. This law unifies three of the most prominent empirical laws of statistical seismology—the Gutenberg–Richter law, the Omori–Utsu law, and a ge…

The resistivity structure of the lithospheric mantle beneath the Proterozoic Grenville Province in southern Ontario, Canada is investigated using 84 magnetotelluric (MT) sites divided into four profiles. Depth-based regional geoelectric dimensionality analyses of the MT responses indicate that the mantle lithosphere north of Lake Ontario can be subdivided into upper (45–150 km) and deeper (>2…

The early detection of the oil–water encroachment front is of prime interest during the water flooding of an oil reservoir to maximize the production of oil and to avoid the oil–water encroachment front to come too close to production wells. We propose a new 4-D inversion approach based on the Gauss–Newton approach to invert cross-well resistance data. The goal of this study is to image …
