Bakir (2004) Natural Preparedness, planning, response, recovery Proposed national mitigation strategies for earthquake risk reduction in Turkey from legislative, economic, and technical aspects. The strategies were targeted to different time frames of 1-10 years. Bui et al. (2000) Natural, man-made Pre-crisis, crisis, post-crisis Proposed a framework for designing a Global Information Network (...

Earthquake clustering phenomena such as aftershocks, foreshocks, and pairing of mainshocks are prominent and characteristic features of earthquake occurrence. Because the earthquake nucleation process controls the time and place of occurrence of earthquakes, non-linear dependence of nucleation times on stress changes can strongly affect the spatial and temporal patterns of earthquake occurrence...

Trauma experience not only could predict longterm physical and mental health problems, but also could have impact on the cognitive processes. Modified Stroop task and subliminal masked priming task were used to examine the automatic cognitive processing of earthquake-related stimulus (disaster-related, rescue-related, and earthquake-unrelated words) of healthy undergraduates at one month and tw...

Global disasters due to earthquakes have become more frequent and intense. Consequently, post-disaster recovery reconstruction has the new normal in social process. Through reconstruction, risks can be effectively reduced, resilience improved, long-term stability achieved. However, there is a gap between impact of post-earthquake needs people disaster area. Based on international consensus “bui...

The 5 September 2012 M(w) 7.6 earthquake on the Costa Rica subduction plate boundary followed a 62-y interseismic period. High-precision GPS recorded numerous slow slip events (SSEs) in the decade leading up to the earthquake, both up-dip and down-dip of seismic rupture. Deeper SSEs were larger than shallower ones and, if characteristic of the interseismic period, release most locking down-dip ...

The main components which affect the earthquake damage grades classification of multistory masonry buildings and the damage characters are summarized and analyzed through the statistics and analysis of a large number of previous earthquake damage data. According to the standard of earthquake damage grades classification, the damage numbers of each component of multistory masonry buildings under...

A variety of user-friendly spreadsheet templates have been developed for geoscience studies. However, the use of the built-in matrix functions within spreadsheet programs, such as Excel, is not particularly straightforward, lowering the value of spreadsheet programs for matrix-based computations, such as multiple regression analyses. Therefore, this study first developed two applications for Ex...

The linac power upgrade program is now in progress, after a successful recovery from the earthquake disaster. The power upgrade includes an ion source, a RFQ, and a 400 MeV annular-ring coupled structure (ACS) linac. We started a full-scale development of a cesium-seeded RFdriven negative hydrogen ion source. The ion source extracted a beam current of more than 60 mA with a duty factor of 2.5 %...

Velocity changes (dv/v) during and after earthquakes are important indicators for understanding the earthquake-induced mechanical damage evolution of rock slopes. However, studying slope responses associated with various seismic loading still remains challenging due to limited in situ observations. In this article, we conduct a 20 min temporal resolution monitoring dv/v at frequency band betwee...
