Rosalinda incrustans (Kramp, 1947) is a poorly known, deep-sea capitate hydrozoan whose biology, morphology, and ecological traits have remained largely obscure due to the rarity of collected material and its small, inconspicuous epibiontic habitus. Since its original description, the species has been collected only twice and recorded two additional times with Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs), invariably observed as an epibio...

Acesta excavata is one of the largest and ecologically relevant bivalves along continental margins and is often associated with cold‐water coral assemblages of the upper bathyal zone. Like other habitat‐forming species, A. excavata contributes to increasing the secondary substrata and provides opportunities for the colonization and feeding of other sessile and mobile organisms. Despite most of the bivalves producing byssus bei...

Past earthquakes have repeatedly shown that damage to masonry infills can produce large economic losses and even jeopardize human lives. Nevertheless, in current design practice masonry infills are ignored, while available macro-models for nonlinear analysis focus the attention on the In-Plane (IP) behavior of masonry infills only, while neglecting the Out-Of-Plane (OOP) collapse mechanism. The main objective of this study is...
