Fast and reliable characterization of earthquakes can provide vital information to the population, even reducing the effects of strong shaking produced by them. In this study, we explore the minimum time required to estimate ...

The rapid determination of its magnitude soon after a great earthquake is necessary for the issuing of effective tsunami warnings, as demonstrated in the great earthquake off Tohoku district in Japan on March 11, 2011. ...

Nowadays, most fast, automatic algorithms estimate the magnitude and location of earthquakes assuming a point-source approximation that might produce large errors in the predicted shaking. In this study, using a kinematic ...

The Bayesian approach was implemented for fitting several maternally ancestral models for weaning weight data of Angus calves. The goal was to evaluate to what extent genetic evaluation models with additive grand maternal ...

The importance of evacuation plans has been widely proven in recent tsunami events. Several evacuation models have been proposed to develop these plans and estimate city evacuation times. Typically, single extreme earthquake ...
