Numerical analysis of seismic wave amplification in Nice (France) and comparisons with experiments [PDF]

, 2000
The analysis of site effects is very important since the amplification of seismic motion in some specific areas can be very strong. In this paper, the site considered is located in the centre of Nice on the French Riviera.

Sensitivity of Earthquake Damage Estimation to the Input Data (Soil Characterization Maps and Building Exposure): Case Study in the Luchon Valley, France

Geosciences, 2021
This article studies the effects of the soil data and exposure data of residential building inventories, as well as their spatial resolution, on seismic damage and loss estimates for a given earthquake scenario.

Effects of the 6th September 2002 earthquake: damage amplification in the south-eastern sector of Palermo explained by GIS technology

Annals of Geophysics, 2003
During the 6th September 2002 earthquake the highest damage level in Palermo was observed in the SE sector. This is a recent urbanization area where reinforced concrete structures predominate.

Collisional shifts in optical-lattice atom clocks [PDF]

, 2006
We theoretically study the effects of elastic collisions on the determination of frequency standards via Ramsey fringe spectroscopy in optical-lattice atom clocks. Interparticle interactions of bosonic atoms in multiply-occupied lattice sites can cause a

Estimating Absolute Site Effects [PDF]

Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 2004
The authors use previously determined direct-wave attenuation functions as well as stable, coda-derived source excitation spectra to isolate the absolute S-wave site effect for the horizontal and vertical components of weak ground motion. They used selected stations in the seismic network of the eastern Alps, and find the following: (1) all ''hard rock'

Site Response Evaluation in the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt Based on HVSR from Ambient Noise and Regional Seismicity

Applied Sciences, 2021
The Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt (TMVB), located in central Mexico, is an area for which low to moderate seismic risk is considered. This is based on the limited instrumental data available, even though large historical earthquakes have damaged some urban

Trabeculectomy: Effect of varying surgical site [PDF]

Eye, 1993
Trabeculectomy reduces intraocular pressure by fistula formation into a subconjunctival bleb. The operation site traditionally has been at the superior corneo-scleral junction with a failure rate of 10-30%. The causes of trabeculectomy failure can be broadly classified into intraocular, scleral and extraocular.

Oxygen impurities in NiAl: Relaxation effects [PDF]

, 2001
We have used a full-potential linear muffin-tin orbital method to calculate the effects of oxygen impurities on the electronic structure of NiAl. Using the supercell method with a 16-atom supercell we have investigated the cases where an oxygen atom is ...
