One limitation of corpus-based research into the epicentre hypothesis is that it only provides information on structural similarity/difference varieties but not role attitudes may play in choice variants a pluricentric language. In our case study verb complementation patterns, we use simulation as complementary methodology. We build an agent-based model for two speaker communities with English ...

A ruptured front obtained from high-frequency energy radiation is the key to understand complex source. It commonly observed that rupture fronts derived different arrays often show some variations due obvious difference of positioning accuracy far-field array between azimuth and epicentral distance. We developed a new multi-array back-projection method based on classical applied 2015 M W 7.8 Ne...

An extensive analysis of the strong ground motion Mexican data base was conducted using Soft Computing (SC) techniques. A Neural Network NN is used to estimate both orthogonal components of the horizontal (PGA h ) and vertical (PGA v ) peak ground accelerations measured at rock sites during Mexican subduction zone earthquakes. The work discusses the development, training, and testing of this ne...

ULF emission data at Lunping (epicentral distance, 120 km) have been analysed for the Chi-chi earthquake (with magnitude 7.6 and depth of 11 km) in Taiwan which occurred on 21 September 1999. Simple intensity analyses have not yielded any significant results but we have found, based on the analysis of polarization (the ratio of vertical magnetic field component Z to the horizontal component G),...

The estimation of potential strong ground motions at short epicentral distances (J1 = 10 to 25 km) resulting from large earthquakes, M;;;; 6.5, generally requires extrapolation of a limited data set. The goal of this project has been to quantify the extrapolation through a simulation technique that relies heavily upon the more extensive data set from smaller magnitude earthquakes. The simulatio...

The objectives of this task are to conduct research on seismic hazards, and provide relevant input on the expected levels of these hazards to other tasks. Other tasks requiring this input include those dealing with inventory, fragility curves, rehabilitation strategies and demonstration projects. The corresponding input is provided in various formats depending on the intended use: as peak groun...

recently, the s receiver function method has been successfully developed to identify upper mantle interfaces. s receiver functions have the advantage of being free of s-wave multiple reflections and can be more suitable than p receiver function for studying mantle lithosphere. however, because of specific ray geometry of the s-to-p converted waves, the s receiver function method has some techni...
