The neotectonic architecture of Taiwan and its implications for future large earthquakes
The disastrous effects of the 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake in Taiwan demonstrated an urgent need for better knowledge of the island’s potential earthquake sources. Toward this end, we have prepared a neotectonic map of Taiwan. The map and related cross-sections are based upon structural and geomorphic expression of active faults and folds both in the field and on shaded-relief maps prepared from a 4...

متن کاملLarge Earthquakes and Crustal Deformation Near Taiwan
Source parameters of 15 large (mb -> 6) earthquakes which occurred near Taiwan during the last 25 years are determined by synthetic seismogram analysis of teleseismic P and S waveforms. Source depths range from 13 to 88 km. Three earthquakes of intermediate depth are located within the southernmost limit of the Ryukyu arc and show thrust-type mechanisms with T axes subparallel to a northward di...
متن کاملSix Sigma: literature review and implications for future research
There has been considerable number of papers published related to Six Sigma applications in manufacturing and service organizations. However, very few studies are done on reviewing the literature of Six Sigma in all the areas including manufacturing, construction, education, financial service, BPOs and healthcare etc. Considering the contribution of Six Sigma in recent time, a more comprehens...
متن کاملTaitung earthquakes in Taiwan
Contrary to the normally observed increase in groundwater radon that occurs prior to earthquakes, we have measured anomalous decreases in radon concentration prior to the 2003 MW1⁄4 6.8 Chengkung and 2006 MW1⁄4 6.1 Taitung earthquakes that occurred within a 55 km radius from the Antung D1 monitoring well in eastern Taiwan. The v-shaped pattern of radon anomalies recognized at Antung is valuable...
