This study developed a national seismic hazard map around Taiwan through a deterministic manner. The essential of this approach is to treat every historic event as a potential point source, then with the seismic hazard taken as the maximum ground motion resulted from the series of earthquake events. A program developed in-house was used to carry out mass computation and map-making. The results ...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the effects of hypotensive and normotensive resuscitation with a novel combination of fluids via lactate Ringer's solution (LRS), 6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 solution (HES), and 7.5% hypertonic saline solution (HSS) at early stage of uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock (UHS) before hemostasis. METHODS New Zealand white rabbits (n = 32) underwent UH...

The Gulf of Corinth (Central Greece) is one the most rapidly extending rifts worldwide, with its western part being seismically active, hosting numerous strong (M ? 6.0) earthquakes that have caused significant damage. main objective this study was evaluation seismic hazard through a probabilistic and stochastic methodology. implementation three seismotectonic models in form area source zones v...
