In this paper the geological structure and earthquake activity nearby Kunming Basin, Yunnan, China, have been studied. Different ground motion attenuation models used in Japan and in Yunnan, China, have been reviewed, and quantitative comparisons between the models have been made. The zonation of peak horizontal acceleration corresponding to a seldom happened earthquake and the zonation of the ...

Numerous studies have demonstrated population genetic structuring in marine species, yet few have investigated the effect of vertical zonation on gene flow and population structure. Here we use three sympatric, closely related clinid species, Clinus cottoides, C. superciliosus and Muraenoclinus dor salis, to test whether zonation on South African intertidal rocky shores affects phylogeographic ...

surface. the development of gullies causes the loss of a great amount of soil and could be considered as one of the principal causes of geo-environmental degradation. in this research fazi model introduced for gully erosion zonation in arid and semiarid area considered to calibration and validation in kahkiloeh and boyerahmad province. therefore, the abgandi watershed were selected by considera...

The vertical zonation patterns of intertidal organisms have been topics of interest to marine ecologists for many years, with interspecific food competition being implicated as a contributing factor to intertidal community organization. In this study, we used behavioral bioassays to examine the potential roles that interspecific aggression and food competition have on the structuring of interti...

Landslides are one of the most destructive and common geological disasters in Tonglvshan mining area, which seriously threatens safety surrounding residents ancient copper mine site. Therefore, to effectively reduce landslide risk protect site, it is necessary carry out a systematic assessment susceptibility study area. Combining unascertained measure (UM) theory, dynamic comprehensive weightin...

Photo-induced force microscopy (PiFM) is a new-frontier technique that combines the advantages of atomic with infrared spectroscopy and allows for simultaneous acquisition 3D topographic data molecular chemical information at high spatial (~ 5 nm) spectral 1 cm?1) resolution nanoscale. This non-destructive time efficient as it requires only conventional mirror-polishing has fast mapping rates o...
