Abstract The construction of toll roads in Klaten Regency supports community connectivity increasing economic growth and accessibility to tourist areas around the southern part Java Island. location this study is Polanharjo District, Regency. area has geological conditions, sandy volcanic ash, shallow groundwater levels accompanied by a history earthquakes that have occurred greater than Mw. 5....

PURPOSE The effects of vitreous liquefaction in the elderly on the distribution of drugs from intravitreal injections, depots, or devices remains unclear. The purpose of the present study was to develop a liquefied vitreous model that simulates the aged condition, to enable the study of clinically relevant drug distribution. METHODS Dutch-belted rabbits were used to develop a study model usin...

Field investigations and analyses of satellite images and aerial photographs reveal that the 2016 Mw 7.1 (Mj 7.3) Kumamoto earthquake produced a ∼40-km surface rupture zone striking NE-SW on central Kyushu Island, Japan. Coseismic surface ruptures were characterized by shear faults, extensional cracks, and mole tracks, which mostly occurred along the pre-existing NE-SW-striking Hinagu-Futagawa ...

SUMMARY The Kepingtag (Kalpin) fold-and-thrust belt of the southern Chinese Tian Shan is characterized by active shortening and intense seismic activity. Geological cross-sections reflection profiles suggest thin-skinned, northward-dipping thrust sheets detached in an Upper Cambrian décollement. 2020 January 19 Mw 6.0 Jiashi earthquake provides opportunity to investigate how coseismic deformati...

Since late 2018, the US Geological Survey (USGS) ground failure (GF) earthquake product has provided publicly available spatial estimates of earthquake-triggered landslide and liquefaction hazards, along with qualitative hazard population exposure-based alerts for M > 6 earthquakes worldwide in near real time (within ?30 min). Earthquake losses are oftentimes greatly aggravated by impacts du...

Frictional properties within the upper few kilometers of subduction zones are generally thought to inhibit rupture propagation. Understanding whether large rapid slip propagates to the surface during megathrust earthquakes is important for characterizing tsunami hazard. Recent vitrinite reflectance analysis by Sakaguchi et al. (2011) on cores from the NanTroSEIZE drilling transect at the Nankai...

When catastrophic earthquakes happen and affect cities and settlements, immediate and efficient actions are required which ensure the minimization of the damage and loss of human lives. Responding local and national authorities should be provided in advance with information and maps where the highest damages due to unfavourable, local site conditions and earthquake related secondary effects suc...

On 21 August 2017 at 20:57 (local time) a very shallow (H = 1.2 km), moderate (Md 4.0), earthquake hit the volcanic island of Ischia (Southern Italy), causing death two people. The study damage to buildings with European Macroseismic Scale 98 (EMS-98), carried out immediately after earthquake, highlighted that hilly area Casamicciola Terme, on northern side Mt. Epomeo, was most damaged part loc...

Cox, Department of Earth Sciences, University of Memphis, Johnson Hall, Memphis, TN 38152, USA e-mail: [email protected] Large-scale liquefaction features (e.g., sand blows, lateral-spread fissure vents) that can be recognized on remote-sensing imagery and photography have been of great utility in developing chronologies of paleo-earthquakes. In areas where large-s...

The acid-catalyzed liquefaction of rape straw in methanol using microwave energy was examined. Conversion yield and energy consumption were evaluated to profile the microwave-assisted liquefaction process. Chemical components of the bio-oils from various liquefaction conditions were identified. A higher reaction temperature was found to be beneficial to obtain higher energy consumption efficien...
