A primary challenge from the relativist to the contextualist about epistemic modals is to explain eavesdropping data—i.e., why the eavesdropper is inclined to judge the speaker as having uttered an epistemic modal falsehood (when she is so inclined), even though the speaker’s utterance is true according to reasonable contextualist truth conditions. The issue turns in large part on the strength ...

extended abstract 1. introduction security is the most important factor for improving of a city and it’s the initial needs of human. security and developing are mutual relationship that derived from planning and city management. insecurity feeling in the urban area, the activities of human have been eclipsed and economic, cultural, social acts couldn’t be done easily .however security is necess...

Turkey is between three major tectonic plates, the most active area of Mediterranean region in terms earthquake activity. Relative motions African, Arabian and Eurasian plates account for activity region. As a result, Anatolian plate has high danger seismicity. This consists North Fault Zone (NAFZ), East (EAFZ) SE Thrust which form borders Plate important fault segments throughout Western Anato...

Human desires toward the heavens had been continued after Tower of Babel. Many high-rise buildings were constructed with technological progress in the 20 century. The tallest skyscraper of the world is Burj Khalifa (Dubai, UAE) with a height of 828 meters. Kingdom tower (Jeddah, KSA) would be tallest building with 1,000 meters about 2019 (1). Skyscrapers have lots of problems in terms of disast...

This paper presents a literature review of efforts to learn from earthquakes: collecting, archiving, and disseminating information. The emphasis is on primary sources, i.e., data-gathering instruments or investigations that include direct observation of earthquake effects. The study addresses seismology and geotechnical engineering; safety and damage to individual buildings; performance of larg...

Analysis of the longest period normal modes of the Earth, excited by the December 26, 2004 Sumatra earthquake yields a moment of 1. 3 × 10 dyn-cm, approximately three times larger than the 4 × 10 dyn-cm measured from long-period surface wav es. Hence the earthquake’s ultra-long period magnitude, Mw = 9. 3, is significantly larger than the previously reported Mw = 9. 0, making the earthquake the...

Earthquake early warning systems aim to reduce the potential danger by providing a in seconds before strong ground shaking occurs. In this study, we implemented EPIC, an algorithm for Bursa province and its surroundings, which is seismically active region. We replayed 104 earthquakes of M ≥ 3.5, occurred around study area between 2012 2021. derived period amplitude-based magnitude-scaling relat...
