Human-triggered earthquakes and their impacts on human security [PDF]
A comprehensive understanding of earthquake risks in urbanized regions requires an accurate assessment of both urban vulnerabilities and earthquake hazards.

Is there a one-to-one correspondence between ionospheric anomalies and large earthquakes along Longmenshan faults? [PDF]
On 12 May 2008, a destructive M8.0 earthquake struck Wenchuan County (31.0° N, 103.4° E) in the Longmenshan fault zone of southwestern China. Five years later, on 20 April 2013, another terrible M7.0 earthquake struck Lushan County (30.3° N, 103.0° E)

LLM‐based prior elicitation for Bayesian graphical modeling
ABSTRACT In the Bayesian graphical modeling framework, priors on network structure encode theoretical assumptions and uncertainty about the topology of psychological constructs under study. For instance, the Bernoulli prior specifies the probability of each pairwise interaction, the Beta–Bernoulli prior governs expected network density, and the ...

Landsliding and sediment dynamics following the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake in the Beichuan area of China [PDF]
Extensive and widespread landsliding is a common feature in a post-earthquake mountainous environment. The intense seismic shaking of an earthquake leaves the ground destabilised and thus very susceptible to slope failure.

How Has the Wenchuan Earthquake Influenced People's Intertemporal Choices?
On May 12, 2008, a major magnitude-8.0 earthquake shook Wenchuan, China. An opportunity sample of 104 college students was obtained to conduct a within-subject study investigating the influence of the earthquake on intertemporal choices.

Abstract Landscapes in humid climates often experience rapid chemical and mechanical weathering that can change groundwater fluxes, drainage pathways, and frictional strength via alterations in subsurface mineral composition and matrix porosity. These changes to hillslope critical zone structure and strength should control landslide susceptibility ...

Abstract Reliable prediction of earthquakes and rock mass failure has long been hampered by a fundamental trade‐off: achieving both a long warning window and high prediction accuracy. Physical models, such as the failure forecast method (FFM) based on the time‐reversed Omori law, can provide longer warning windows but are sensitive to data noise and ...

Controls on the distribution of landslides triggered by the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, Sichuan Province, China [PDF]
Landsliding is the dominant mass wasting process in upland areas where the rate of river incision is higher than that of rock weathering of hillslopes.

PSEUDO-DYNAMIC TEST OF CFST BRIDGE PIER UNDER DIFFERENT GROUND EXCITATIONS [PDF]
The dynamic testing of large-scale structures continues to play a significant role in earthquake engineering research. The pseudo-dynamic test (PDT) is an experimental technique for simulating the earthquake response of structures and structural ...
