In this paper the geological structure and earthquake activity nearby Kunming Basin, Yunnan, China, have been studied. Different ground motion attenuation models used in Japan and in Yunnan, China, have been reviewed, and quantitative comparisons between the models have been made. The zonation of peak horizontal acceleration corresponding to a seldom happened earthquake and the zonation of the ...

Numerous studies have demonstrated population genetic structuring in marine species, yet few have investigated the effect of vertical zonation on gene flow and population structure. Here we use three sympatric, closely related clinid species, Clinus cottoides, C. superciliosus and Muraenoclinus dor salis, to test whether zonation on South African intertidal rocky shores affects phylogeographic ...

The vertical zonation patterns of intertidal organisms have been topics of interest to marine ecologists for many years, with interspecific food competition being implicated as a contributing factor to intertidal community organization. In this study, we used behavioral bioassays to examine the potential roles that interspecific aggression and food competition have on the structuring of interti...

different methods exist for the zonation of oil reservoirs based on petrophysical data and well logs. among them are: permeability-porosity cross polt, pickett and soder and gill methods. in this study a statistical zonation technique has been used for the marun and pazanan oil reservoirs in iran based on effective porosity, density, sonic, neutron and resistivity data. petrophysical interpreta...

This study performs district and local administrative level multi-hazard zonation of Nepal. As multiple natural hazards are frequent, their losses enormous, maps can provide important insights before the occurrence so that effective countermeasures preparedness efforts be designed implemented. To this end, weightage-based Nepal is performed considering 27,482 independent hazard events. We consi...
