Earthquake An earthquake is the shaking or trembling of the earth, which may be natural or man-made (e.g., due to atomic explosion) in origin. An earthquake is a sudden, strong movement or slipping of the earth’s crust that result in a sudden release of energy. Earthquakes occur at certain locations where the tectonic plates which form the earth’s crust, coincide. Populations that live near the...

This paper presents the experimental study of liquefaction potential for sandy soil in Prambanan Area, Yogyakarta, Indonesia, which underwent due to Mw 6.3 Jogja Earthquake on May 27, 2006. Shaking table tests considering variation acceleration and shaking duration were performed investigate sand. The time stages including start liquefaction, pore pressure dissipation, observed. percentage incr...

a portable and light pneumatic branch shake system was designed and manufactured in this research for harvesting fruits that can be harvested by shaking branch. required air flow and electric current are provided for operating system from category containing electrical generator and air compressor on wheelbarrows and portable chassis. vibration is equipped by programmable logic controller (plc)...

We calculate the probability of strong shaking in Istanbul—an urban center of 10 million people—from the description of earthquakes on the North Anatolian fault system in the Marmara Sea during the past 500 years, and test the resulting catalog against the frequency of damage in Istanbul during the preceding millennium. Departing from current practice, we include the time-dependent effect of st...

The aim of this study was to determine the most suitable shaking frequency and amplitude for shake harvesting lime fruit (C. aurantifolia). A tractor mounted limb shaker with adjustable shaking frequency and amplitude, powered by the tractor power-take-off shaft was designed and developed for this study. The rotating input power was transmitted to the shaker flywheel through a multiple sheave v...

Interactions between factors affecting consonant duration are well known. It has proved difficult to quantify these interactions. The difficulty lies in the enormous amount of speech necessary to resolve all factor combinations and their uneven distribution in speech, i.e., factor confounding. Assuming piecewise independence of factor combinations and an additive duration model, it is possible ...

abstract objective: diabetic peripheral neuropathy is the main risk factor of diabetic foot ulcer and its early diagnosis is important to prevent limb amputation. we assessed the prevalence of peripheral neuropathy in diabetic patients. materials and methods: this cross-sectional study was performed on 352 randomly selected diabetic patients using a standardized questionnaire including age, gen...

trade relationships built through production chains appear to be lasting due to relation-specific nature of the transactions, compared with the usual transactions of goods sold on the open market. this paper aims to verify such stability of international production networks at the global level, with special emphasis on intra-east asian trade. a series of survival analyses provide an evidence su...
