Damage mapping after the 2017 Puebla Earthquake in Mexico using high-resolution Alos2 Palsar2 data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
On September 19, 2017, the Mw7.1 Puebla Earthquake caused significant destruction in several cities in central Mexico. In this paper, two pre- and one post-event ALOS2-PALSAR2 data were used to detect the damaged area around Izucar de Matamoros town in ...

Gate‐Align‐SED: Semi‐Supervised Sound Event Detection via Adaptive Feature Gating and Cross‐Task Alignment in Situation Awareness

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Overview of the proposed Gate‐Align‐SED, including two stages of training: (1) Mean‐Teacher SSL Training; and (2) Enhancer Model Training. In complex real‐world environments such as disaster monitoring, effective sound event detection (SED) is often hindered by the presence of noise and limited labeled data.

Laboratory Simulation of Earthquake-Induced Damage in Lava Dome Rocks

open access: yesTektonika, 2023
Earthquakes can impart varying degrees of damage and permanent, inelastic strain on materials, potentially resulting in ruptures that may promote hazards such as landslides and other collapse events.

How cold is too cold? A theoretical analysis of the optimal trigger for index insurance for frost damage to crops

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Crop insurance is undoubtedly an extremely valuable element in protecting agricultural businesses, but in many cases standard indemnity‐based products have had very low uptake due to high transaction costs elevating premiums to unaffordable levels.

The Importance of Assessing the Geological Site Effects of Ancient Earthquakes from the Archaeoseismological Point of View

open access: yesEng, 2023
Earthquakes have and continue to, occur worldwide, though some places are affected more than others by earthquake-induced ground shaking and the same earthquake can cause more damage in one area than in nearby locations due to site-specific geological ...

The psychosocial toll of Dublin III on asylum seekers in the Netherlands

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract The Dublin III Regulation determines which EU Member State is responsible for examining asylum claims, but its implementation carries significant consequences for those subjected to it. This study examines how Dublin III, as implemented in the Netherlands, affects asylum seekers' psychosocial wellbeing using Silove′s Adaptation and Development

Redescription of the Triassic cynodont Cistecynodon parvus and reassessment of its phylogeny

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Cynodontia is an important subclade of Therapsida that first occurred in the late Permian. It includes extinct subclades which are the non‐mammaliaform cynodonts and Mammaliaformes, with the latter ultimately giving rise to crown mammals. The systematics of non‐mammaliaform cynodonts has been extensively studied and is relatively well‐resolved,

The effect of the number of response cycles on the behaviour of reinforced concrete elements subject to cyclic loading [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The development of damage in reinforced concrete (RC) structures is a cumulative process. Some damage indices used to quantify damage make use of the number of response cycles as an Engineering Demand Parameter (EDP) relating with damage development ...

Damages by earthquake and libraries

open access: yesJournal of Information Processing and Management, 2005
日本をはじめ,地形的に地震発生の可能性のある地域での図書館の地震対策は喫緊の課題である。図書館での地震発生時での図書館,および図書館員の対応について述べる。図書館が地震に遭遇した場合,まずは図書館利用者,図書館スタッフの人命を守る,次に図書館資料を守ることである。いずれにしても図書館の免震構造,および図書館内の設備の耐震の工夫は重要である。その中でも書架の構造,固定などは地震発生被害を経験して,いくつかの教訓が得られている。日本の阪神淡路大震災,カリフォルニア州で発生した2件の地震に関連して図書館が遭遇した被害について触れた。
