The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of Torus Palatinus (TP) in the earthquake effected population of Indonesia. This study was conducted in out door dental clinic at a Pakistan Medical Mission Hospital during earthquake relief activities in June – July 2006 in Kalatan District Chawas Central Java, Indonesia. With clinical inspection and palpation 300 individuals were examine...

We present a new method for estimating earthquake detection probabilities that avoids assumptions about earthquake occurrence, for example, the event-size distribution, and uses only empirical data: phase data, station information, and network-specific attenuation relations. First, we determine the detection probability for each station as a function of magnitude and hypocentral distance, using...

bandar abbas (center of hormozgan province) is the most important port city in the south of iran because of its historical places, cultural, economic, social and political importance. high risk of earthquake occurrence in this city and its province indicates the necessity of surveying the seismic vulnerability of buildings. the object of this paper is collected from existing buildings, compiled...

The role of acute stress in triggering cardiac events, especially in vulnerable individuals, is no longer disputed. The consequences of an acute and unexpected stressor have been examined during earthquakes, providing a population-based sampling methodology, the known exact timing of the stressor, and tabulation of acute cardiac events before and after the event. The first study by Leor et al. ...

The properties of a worldwide data set of 91 radon (222Rn) anomalies (the frequency of occurrence, the precursor time interval, and the distribution of peak amplitudes) are correlated with earthquake data such as the respective magnitude and epicentral distance. These anomalies were reported as precursors to earthquakes in the United States, USSR, China, Japan, and Iceland. Although the data se...
