Accurate prediction of the intensity and variability of strong ground motions for future large earthquakes depends on our ability to simulate realistic earthquake source models. While there has been considerable progress in characterizing the complexity of earthquake ruptures, recent devastating earthquakes have exhibited rather unexpected behavior. Moderate-size events occurred with surprising...

Despite its extreme importance and years of effort, practical short-term earthquake prediction still remains to be achieved in future. However, earthquakerelated electromagnetic phenomena are recently considered as a promising candidate for short-term earthquake prediction. There have been accumulated a lot of evidences of precursory signatures in a wide frequency range (DC-VHF). The ULF geomag...

Earthquake prediction research has searched for both informational phenomena, those that provide information about earthquake hazards useful to the public, and causal phenomena, causally related to the physical processes governing failure on a fault, to improve our understanding of those processes. Neither informational nor causal phenomena are a subset of the other. I propose a classification ...

introduction natural hazards as recurring phenomenon have always existed in human life and will in the future, too. nowadays natural hazards occur throughout the world, but their impacts have been increasing and are generally much greater in developing countries than in developed ones. earthquake is a kind of natural hazard that has the most damages for humankind. earthquakes pose inevitable ri...

Earthquake prediction has long been the holy grail for seismologists around the world. The various factors affecting earthquakes are far from being understood, and there exist no known correlations between largescale earthquake activity and periodic geological events. Nonetheless, we hope that machine learning will give us greater insight into the patterns underlying earthquake activity, even i...

An earthquake is the perceptible shaking of the surface of the Earth occurs without prior warning to the society. The occurrence of an earthquake in a populated area may cause numerous casualties and injuries as well as extensive damage to property [4-5]. At present there is no tool available to an Engineer or Expert to assess the quantum of an earthquake disaster of an area with degree of cert...

stylistics is one of the branches of literary criticism benefiting from linguistics and rhetoric to analyze the text and emphasizes on three essential elements namely text, writer and addressee in literary and critical examination of the work. an’ã¢m (the cattles) surah is a the long surah of koran indicating mainly three columns of islamic ideology and all the vocabulary and artistic images ...
