On-site earthquake early warning techniques, which issue alerts based on seismic waves measured at a single station, are promising, and have performed quite successfully during some damaging earthquakes. Conventionally, most existing techniques extract several P-wave features from the first few seconds of after trigger to predict intensity or destructiveness an incoming earthquake. This type te...

Probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) has been recognized as a reasonable method for quantifying threats. Traditionally, this ignores the effect of focal depth, in which ground motion prediction equations (GMPEs) are applied to estimate probability distribution associated with possible levels induced by site earthquakes, but it is limited unclear geological conditions, makes difficult pr...

Prediction is an important component of the neural strategy used to guide the human visuomotor system. When applicable, prediction significantly enhances the performance of oculomotor control. Previous research has shown that the use of prediction will decrease the latency of movement onset as seen in saccadic as well as disparity convergent eye movements. Prediction also decreases tracking err...

We studied the effects on smooth pursuit eye movements of ablation of the dorsal cerebellar vermis (lesions centered on lobules VI and VII) in three monkeys in which the cerebellar nuclei were spared. Following the lesion the latencies to pursuit initiation were unchanged. Monkeys showed a small decrease (up to 15%) in gain during triangular-wave tracking. More striking were changes in the dyna...

In this paper a gradient-based algorithm for finding spectral peak locations is presented. The algorithm makes use of gradient and acceleration locations in the spectrogram for locating the peaks. Use of frequency gradients and accelerations locate peaks. The results are then interpolated to yield a smooth peak envelope. The method is evaluated in the aurora framework. A first pass locates all ...
