C We propose a generic negative correlation between power-law scaling and Hurst exponents for size/magnitude data from real and synthetic earthquakes. The synthetic earthquakes were produced from a conceptual earthqu...

Analysis of the tidal stress tensor at the time of moderate to large earthquakes fails to confirm an earlier hypothesis that the origin times of shallow dip-slip earthquakes correlate with solid-earth tidal shear stress, Furthermore, no correlation is seen for either tidal shear stress or tidal normal-to-the-fault compressive stress with shallow strike-slip earthquakes or with deep earthquakes....

considering recent developments in earthquake engineering, researchers has detected different effects of earthquakes far and near from the fault. investigations that have been done in this area show that near fault earthquakes have shorter time period comparing far fault earthquakes and in the velocity of near fault earthquakes, there are one or more impacting pulses with a big domain and perio...

A stochastic model for earthquake occurrence focusing on the spatio-temporal interactions between earthquakes is discussed. The model is a marked point process model in which each earthquake is represented as a marked point in space and time. The marks are given by the magnitudes of the earthquakes but other observed properties of the earthquakes, such as information on the fault lines, can str...

In meteorology, engineering and computer sciences, data assimilation is routinely employed as the optimal way to combine noisy observations with prior model information for obtaining better estimates of a state, and thus better forecasts, than can be achieved by ignoring data uncertainties. Earthquake forecasting, too, suffers from measurement errors and partial model information and may thus g...

Slow-slip events, or ‘silent earthquakes’, have recently been discovered in a number of subduction zones including the Nankai trough in Japan, Cascadia, and Guerrero in Mexico, but the depths of these events have been difficult to determine from surface deformation measurements. Although it is assumed that these silent earthquakes are located along the plate megathrust, this has not been proved...

In this paper, a relationship between M P 5.0 earthquakes and diurnal variations of the total geomagnetic field recorded at eight magnetometers in Taiwan during 1988–2001 are examined. One magnetometer station was setup in a seismic quiet area as a reference, while the others were located in areas of high seismicity or crustal activity observing earthquake effects. We compute the distribution o...

In this article, the entire energy embodied in a sewage system has been estimated. The concepts of LCC, LCA and EE have taken into consideration. estimation is calculated from moment extracting raw materials, through its transportation, to making final product. choice materials production technology an important aspect here. This article considers construction procedure gravity gravity-pump sys...
