TSUNAMI-GENERATION WARNING SYSTEM USING EARTHQUAKE EARLY WARNING

International Journal of Geomate, 2015
We propose early-warning system for reducing tsunami refuge using the data of the magnitudeand the depth informed by the Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) by Japan Metrological Agency (JMA). TheEEW provides advance announcement of the estimated seismic intensity and expectSed arrival time at the justpoints and regions before arriving strong motion.

Failure in Motion: A Framework for Capability Erosion and Institutional Dysfunction

Strategic Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drawing on the literature on capability erosion and institutional dysfunction (ID), this study develops a conceptual framework that sheds new light on how the interaction between capability erosion and ID creates conditions for business failure across borders. By articulating two dimensions of heterogeneous capability and resource erosion (i.e.

Implications of heterogeneous embankment conditions for geoelectrical investigations on dams: A case study at Mactaquac Dam, Canada

Near Surface Geophysics, EarlyView.
Abstract Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) has been shown to be effective for surveying and monitoring dams, due to the method's sensitivity to moisture content and relevant physical properties (e.g., porosity). Automated ERT systems, capable of time‐lapse monitoring, can be used to detect variations in ground conditions.
