Site Amplification of Soft Soil in Kaminokuni, Hokkaido, Japan

Investigation of Soil Amplification in North Cyprus

In this study, soil characteristics were investigated using four well-located earthquakes recorded by six accelerometers located in North Cyprus. The amplification values obtained according to the soil features were mapped in accordance with different frequencies using horizontal to vertical spectral ratio method. The dominant period values of the units below the station locations were calculat...

Age and growth of marbled sole Pleuronectoes yokohomae in Kikonai Bay, Hokkaido, Japan

Age and growth of marbled sole Pleuronectes yokohamae werer estimated from growth increments in otolith. The samples were collected with commercial set nets and an experimental bottom trawl net in Kikonai Bay and the nearby waters, southern coast of Hokkaido, from May 1994 to July 1995. Monthly changes in the percentage occurrence of oltoliths with translucent edge in one band and the marginal ...

Preliminary Uncertainty and Sensitivity Analysis for Basic Transport Parameters at the Horonobe Site, Hokkaido, Japan

Incorporating results from a previously developed finite element model, an uncertainty and parameter sensitivity analysis was conducted using preliminary site-specific data from Horonobe, Japan (data available from five boreholes as of 2003). Latin Hypercube Sampling was used to draw random parameter values from the site-specific measured, or approximated, physicochemical uncertainty distributi...
