The Jammu Region (JR) in the northwestern Himalayas trigged by medium to high magnitude near-field as well far-field earthquake events, including most recent 2019 Mirpur earthquake. In this paper, an attempt has been made develop zonation map for liquefaction hazard JR based on potential index ( $$\mathrm{LPI}$$ ) and probability of $${P}_{L}$$ ). To achieve this, factor safety against was esti...

BACKGROUND Biological invasions affecting rocky intertidal zonation patterns, yield information on species interactions. In the Bay of Antofagasta, northern Chile, the non-indigenous tunicate Pyura praeputialis, originally from Australia, has invaded (in the past century or so) and monopolized a major portion of the mid-intertidal rocky shore, displacing upshore the native mussel Perumytilus pu...

The muscle-type (M4) lactate dehydrogenases of Sebastolobus altivelis, a deep-water scorpaenid, and S. alascanus, a shallower species, are electrophoretically indistinguishable, yet differ in pressure sensitivities. The lactate dehydrogenase of S. altivelis exhibits lower pressure sensitivities of substrate and coenzyme binding and catalytic rate. Such apparently pressure-adaptive kinetic prope...

The fine structure of the different zones in the adrenal cortex of the adult rat has been studied under the electron microscope. Four regions mainly differentiated by the mitochondrial morphology, the lipid droplets, and the structure of the ground cytoplasm were recognized. In the glomerular zone mitochondria are thin and elongated with an abundant matrix. The inner structure is characterized ...

Traditional statistical methods for seismic zonation require information from many subjects, such as regional geology and neotectonics, seismicity, stress field, damage analysis of historic earthquakes, geophysics and others. These subjects are weighted differently during statistics. In fact, the information from most of these subjects is more like fuzzy sets, ie, it is a sort of estimation rat...

Regional-scale analyses of susceptibility to liquefaction are seldom performed in data-scarce areas. However, spite data limitations, such efforts can still provide useful information case populated, seismically active regions. The present work focuses on zonation for soil that might occur due ground shaking the Foggia Province, a data-scarce, area about 7000 km2 located southern Italy. Analyti...

tween Eurasia and Africa that result in a primary eastward-directed, low-velocity current flow along the mid-Cretaceous Eurasian, northern Tethys margin. This conclusion appears to be at odds with sedimentologic and paleontologic field evidence (2, 3) obtained from the Helvetic tectonic unit that is exposed in the northern Alps and represents the former northern Tethys margin in southern Europe...

Abstract Egypt, a predominantly arid and hyper-arid country, is one of the environmentally most fragile regions world. The country became hot spot for climatic extremes aridity change in global warming context. unavailability detailed reliable climate zonation map major hindrance to studies Egypt. This study attempted generate high-resolution zone Egypt based on novel image analysis technique. ...
