Exploring the Experiences and Impacts of Research Role-Emerging Placements in Physiotherapy.

Purpose: Research role-emerging placements (RREPs) have been integrated into placement offerings in Canadian physiotherapy programmes. The purpose of the present study is to describe the experiences and impacts of RREPs completed by graduates of Canadian physiotherapy programmes.

Methods: Participants were recruited by purposive sampling and completed semi-structured interviews to explore their RREP experiences.

Surface ruptures and off-fault deformation of the October 2016 central Italy earthquakes from DInSAR data.

Large magnitude earthquakes produce complex surface deformations, which are typically mapped by field geologists within the months following the mainshock. We present detailed maps of the surface deformation pattern produced by the M. Vettore Fault System during the October 2016 earthquakes in central Italy, derived from ALOS-2 SAR data, via DInSAR technique.

Dataset of seismic ambient vibrations from the quaternary Norcia basin (central Italy).

Central Italy was affected by a long seismic sequence in 2016 and 2017, characterized by five main-shocks with Mw>5.0. The Mw 6.

Enhancement of eruption explosivity by heterogeneous bubble nucleation triggered by magma mingling.

We present new evidence that shows magma mingling can be a key process during highly explosive eruptions. Using fractal analysis of the size distribution of trachybasaltic fragments found on the inner walls of bubbles in trachytic pumices, we show that the more mafic component underwent fracturing during quenching against the trachyte. We propose a new mechanism for how this magmatic interaction at depth triggered rapid heterogeneous bubble nucleation and growth and could have enhanced eruption explosivity.
