Traditionally the study of fish hearing is achieved either by psychophysical method (e.g., behavioral training) or invasive electrophysiological recording (e.g., microphonics, single unit recording). A non-invasive, the auditory brainstem response (ABR) recording method is developed to study fish hearing. With the use of the ABR method and the removal of gas from various gas holding structures,...

While the existing structures, even recently constructed ones are subjected to the critical earthquakes, the catastrophic devastations are expected to occur. Therefore, at least for several important structures such as power plants, infrastructure, and buildings, there is a need to consider the critical excitation analysis. One of the important criteria in the seismic design of the structures u...
