This paper examines the effect of relative geophysical earthquake risk on housing prices in the Bay Area. The data concludes that the effect of risk on prices is much more significant today than it was prior to the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. Evidence also suggests that the 1994 Northridge quake has played a role in shaping the time trend of the impact of this risk factor. Several different sc...

Software industry has been rapidly growing from the last couple of decades. Due to this growth and advancement many issues are going to be occurred. There are number of factors that affect the whole software development process. This research has focused on the most important risk factors that affect the overall software project and risk mitigation reviewed from the literature and my own experi...

liquefaction is one of the most important and complex topics in geotechnical earthquake engineering. in recent years, passive site stabilization method has been proposed for non-disruptive mitigation of liquefaction risk at developed sites susceptible to liquefaction using colloidal nano-silica stabilizer. in this research, 4 box models were used to investigate the ability to uniformly deliver ...

Society’s attitude toward seismic risk, in the last few years, has evolved from fatalistic to proactive. This paper presents an approach in the area of seismic risk management. The objective is to implement a methodology in a seismic prone area in an earthquake risk management framework, based on the case study of the island of Lefkada. A tool to assist in the selection of an intervention proac...

tehran as the biggest metropolitan of iran is located in the areas that are at high-risk of earthquake. what increases tehran's vulnerability toward earthquake is the urban physical expansion in vaious dimensions. since the analysis of the mentioned expansion is a solution to many urban problems, the effects of tehran expansion in increasing vulnerability to earthquake has been surveyed in...

Worldwide, more than one million earthquakes occur each year, an average of about two every minute (1). Research indicates a 60% probability that an earthquake of Richter magnitude 7.5 or greater will occur on the San Andreas fault in southern Cal-ifornia within the next 30 years, and a 50% probability that an earthquake of 7.0 or greater magnitude will occur on the San Andreas or Hayward fault...

Understanding the spatiotemporal evolution and driving mechanisms of landslides following a mega-earthquake at catchment scale can lead to improved landslide hazard assessment reduced related risk. However, little effort has been made undertake such research in Wenchuan earthquake-affected region, outside Sichuan Province, China. In this study, we used Goulinping valley Bailong River basin sout...

OBJECTIVE A study was conducted to test six threonine (Thr) levels (0.39%, 0.44%, 0.49%, 0.54%, 0.59%, and 0.64%) to estimate the optimal dietary Thr requirements for Longyan laying ducks from 17 to 45 wk of age. METHODS Nine hundred Longyan ducks aged 17 wk were assigned randomly to the six dietary treatments, where each treatment comprised six replicate pens with 25 ducks per pen. RESULTS...

To maximize the potential of earthquake early warning (EEW) as a credible tool for seismic resilience promotion, it should be combined with next-generation decision-support tools that use advanced risk-based predictions and account unavoidable malfunctions system (i.e., false alarms) to determine whether or not alerts/mitigation actions triggered. This work contributes required effort by develo...
