Introduction Earthquakes are one of the natural hazards that have caused many casualties and financial losses around the world. This is why earthquake risk analysis studies need to be conducted more seriously. Iran is located in one of the seismogenic regions of the world, the Himalayan-Alpine belt, which is subject to many earthquakes every year. The Arias intensity, as one of the important s...

The city of Tabriz, located in Northwestern Iran, is one the seismo-tectonically active regions Iran. Historical earthquake sequences this area show that recurrence interval earthquakes with M>6 can be estimated equal to 250 years (while some larger M>7 have been reported literature). Based on knowledge, occurrence a large Tabriz expected for upcoming decades. Therefore, evaluatin...

Liquefaction is one of the most intriguing aspects of human tuberculosis. It is a major cause of the transition from the infection to active disease (tuberculosis, TB) as well as the transmission of M. tuberculosis to other persons. This paper reviews the natural history of liquefaction in humans from a pathological and radiological point of view and discusses how the experimental models availa...

To further clarify reasons for formation of condensed residues during the last stage of wood liquefaction in the medium of polyhydric alcohols and sulfuric acid catalyst, the weight loss behaviors and thermal reaction kinetics of condensed residues were studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Simultaneously, chemical methods were used to analyze the contents of lignin, cellulose, and holoc...

An empirical, energy-based methodology for liquefaction hazard assessment and microzonation mapping is presented. The approach is probabilistic, considers the uncertainty in the liquefaction criterion, and is applicable to most earthquake-induced liquefaction analyses. The examples illustrated are for water-saturated sands at level ground. The energy of ground shaking is estimated from the Four...

A predictive framework for flow liquefaction instabilities in sands is presented. A general criterion for liquefaction, based purely on the laws of physics, is presented and adapted to the important case of radial loading (e.g. triaxial, simple shear) using the Cambridge p9–q plane. Three important contributions are made in the paper. First, the instability concept is unified, and it is shown t...

AIM The most recent and innovative AquaLase liquefaction technology has offered an alternative to lens extraction. Many studies have investigated its functions and advantages. This article focuses on evaluating the in vivo microscopic cornea changes after AquaLase liquefaction by using a laser confocal microscope. METHODS In this perspective, randomized case study, 37 eyes of 35 patients subm...

A limited initial study was made to evaluate liquefaction of creosote-treated southern pine wood sawdust with liquefaction of birch wood powder as a control. The objective was to assess the feasibility of using creo_.._. sot&treated southern pine wood as a raw material for the-formulation-of-phenol-basedresmadhesives-Them liquefaction was conducted in the presence of phenol with sulfuric acid a...

Abstract A liquefaction hazard assessment for a particular location is important to reduce disasters that may occur in the future. The severity Anutapura Medical Centre region of Palu-Indonesia was carried out on various pairs between peak ground surface acceleration and earthquake magnitude. It conducted by first determining factor safety each existing soil layer applying formulation prepared ...
