Model uncertainty is prevalent in probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) because the underlying statistical signatures for hazard are unknown. Although methods for incorporating parameter uncertainty of a particular model in PSHA are well understood, methods for incorporating model uncertainty are more difficult to implement because of the high degree of dependence between different earth...

Probabilistic seismic hazard maps are widely used for engineering design, land use planning, and disaster mitigation etc. This study conducted a review of readily available information on tectonic setting, geology, and seismicity, and the attenuation of peak ground acceleration (PGA) of Taiwan for completing the revised probabilistic seismic hazard maps by the state-of-the-art probabilistic sei...

PURPOSE Implant surface treatments that improve early osseointegration may prove useful in long-term survival of uncemented implants. We investigated Acid Etching and Plasma Cleaning on titanium implants. METHODS In a randomized, paired animal study, four porous coated Ti implants were inserted into the femurs of each of ten dogs. PC (Porous Coating; control)PC+PSHA (Plasma Sprayed Hydroxyapa...

رویکرد باززنده‌سازی در عرصۀ حفاظت از میراث معماری نیازمند شناسایی و احصای همۀ ارزش‌های مرتبط با اثر است، اما فرایند به تأثیرگذاری جغرافیای طبیعی بر شکل‌گیری اندیشۀ انسان برای خلق آن، ‌عنوان مکانی، کمتر توجه شده است. ضعف شناخت تبیین این ارزش‌ها سبب دست رفتن محیط اثرگذار نابودی یکپارچگی زمینه‌اش می‌شود. سوی دیگر، معماری، علاوه ‌بر مرتبط، تداوم بستر زمان نیز ضروری پژوهش، هدف ارتقای دانش ارزش‌گذاری...

Probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) combines the probabilities of all earthquake scenarios with different magnitudes and distances with predictions of resulting ground motion intensity, in order to compute seismic hazard at a site. PSHA also incorporates uncertainties in ground motion predictions, by considering multiple Ground Motion Prediction ("attenuation") Models (GMPMs). Current ...
