Several Social branches use various methodol...

Geological maps are increasingly published and shared online, whereas tools and services supporting information retrieval and knowledge discovery are underdeveloped. In this study, we developed an ontology of geological time scale by using a RDF (Resource Description Framework) model to represent the ordinal hierarchical structure of the geological time scale and to encode collected annotations...

In the context of widespread urbanization an increase in area built-up areas is taking place. At same time land plots previously occupied by industrial enterprises, forest and agricultural land, etc. are used for construction. Development new territories can lead to activation exogenous geological processes environmental problems associated with hazards (karst, erosion, landslides, subsidence, ...

The southern continental margin-slope area of the South China Sea is a complex passive margin with diverse tectonic structures and movements. This rich in gas hydrate resources also an high incidence potential geological hazards. Identifying understanding submarine hazards this very important for disaster prevention management during future exploration development marine resources. In paper, fi...

The regional engineering geological conditions and geological hazard evaluation is the important part of realizing the railway geological selection, However, the accuracy of the evaluation largely depends on the reliability of basic information and reasonable mathematical model. Remote sensing provides reliable geological information and accurately reflects the geological conditions along the r...

Active volcanic islands are particularly vulnerable to multi-risk natural hazards, many of which anticipated become more severe as a result climate change. It is crucial create and put into action adequate risk mitigation plans based on comprehensive long-term hazard assessments that include nature-based solutions in order improve societal safety these islands. Herein, we study the case Tenerif...

background: this paper describes the common hazards in the metal industry – chemicals and noise. the aim of the study was to get an overview of risk levels of mentioned occupational hazards and examine the implementation of adequate safety measures. methods: measurements of noise and chemicals were performed, self-reported exposure and usage of personal protective equipment from workers were us...

conclusions the use of smoothing methods helps us to eliminate non-linear effects but it is more appropriate to use cox proportional hazards model in medical data because of its’ ease of interpretation and capability of modeling both continuous and discrete covariates. also, cox proportional hazards model and smoothing methods analysis identified that age at diagnosis and tumor size were indepe...
