We find that the excitation energies of single analog states for odd-even nuclei in the f7/2 shell with J=j=7/2 − and the J=0 double analog states in the even-even nuclei are well described by the formulas E∗ (j, T + 1) = b(T + X) and E∗ (0, T + 2) = 2b(T + X + 0.5),respectively, where T =| N − Z | /2 is usually the ground state isospin. It is remarkable to note that the parameter X accounts fo...

To estimate the ground motion in two-dimensional (2D), laterally heterogeneous, anelastic media, a hybrid technique has been developed that combines modal summation and the finite-difference method. In the calculation of the local wave field owing to a seismic event, both for small and large epicentral distances, it is possible to take into account the source, path, and local soil effects. As a...

Probabilistic seismic hazard analysis is a technique for estimating the annual rate of exceedance of a specified ground motion at a site due to the known and suspected earthquake sources. A Monte-Carlo approach is utilized to estimate the seismic hazard at a site. This method uses numerous resampling of an earthquake catalog to construct synthetic catalogs to evaluate the ground motion hazard a...
