The earthquake is usually a big disaster that causes several death and mortalities. Post earthquake crisis is an important situation for management. The recent 2015 Nepal earthquake is one of the most destructive earthquakes in history. In post earthquake crisis, lack of facilities, destroyed of infrastructures and limitation of transportation can be expected. This can superimpose the situation...

G reat earthquakes of magnitude 8.5 or larger occur infrequently. For a nearly 40-y period after the February of 1965 M 8.7 Rat Islands, Alaska earthquake, the world did not experience a single great earthquake; however, in the 7 y since late December of 2004, there have been a barrage of five great earthquakes. These earthquakes include the 2004 M 9.1 Sumatra, Indonesia earthquake; the 2005 M ...

Ruff, L.J., 1992. Asperity distributions and large earthquake occurrence in subduction zones. In: T. Mikumo, K. Aki, M. Ohnaka, L.J. Ruff and P.K.P. Spudich (Editors), Earthquake Source Physics and Earthquake Precursors. Tectonophysics. 211: 61-83. Plate tectonics and the seismic gap hypothesis provide the framework for long-term earthquake forecasting of plate boundary earthquakes. Unfortunate...

Over 2000 earthquakes happen every year in Japan, so that this country is often called earthquake-ridden (Government of Japan, 2006). There exists a serious problem to prevent the occurrence of earthquake-induced disasters, such as fire, short-circuits, gas leakage, etc. With the recent advent of nation-wide telecommunication networks, real-time earthquake information can be received at every h...

Optimizing the operational parameters of borehole pattern in coal seam includes maximum amount gas to be drained with least drilling, investment, and drainage time. The main purpose this research is properly design C1 Tabas mine. In research, Comsol Multiphysics software was used for numerical modeling boreholes. According method diffusion methane a seam, reduction concentration released from b...

The succession and growth strategy of a spring microbial community under earthquake action were investigated. The majority of pre-earthquake isolates belonged to the Gammaproteobacteria, including two numerically dominant Stenotrophomonas sp. RB25 and Acinetobacter sp. RB11 (r-strategists). The predominant post-earthquake isolates were Alphaproteobacteria, with Rhizobium sp. RA42 (K-strategists...
