Geotechnical Hazards from Large Earthquakes and Heavy Rainfalls

This publication is a set of papers provided on the overseas Workshop on Geotechnical traditional risks held July 12–15, 2014, in Kitakyushu, Japan. The workshop was once the 6th within the sequence of Japan–Taiwan Joint Workshops on Geotechnical risks from huge Earthquakes and Heavy Rainfalls, held less than the auspices of the Asian Technical Committee No.

Biosilica in Evolution, Morphogenesis, and Nanobiotechnology: Case Study Lake Baikal

Lake Baikal is the oldest, inner most and so much voluminous lake in the world, comprising one 5th of the World’s unfrozen clean water. It hosts the top variety of endemic animals recorded in any freshwater lake. till lately it remained enigmatic why the sort of excessive variety advanced within the remoted Lake Baikal.

The Diary of Queen Maria Carolina of Naples, 1781-1785: New Evidence of Queenship at Court

This paintings bargains a brand new portrayal of Queen Maria Carolina of Naples as a lady of energy with weaknesses and goals, and analyzes the Queen's activities, from her political offerings to her alliance and betrayals. A cautious exam of the interval (1781-1785) lined through the diary exhibits that the lifestyle of the Queen and provides key proof of her political acumen and her own relationships.

Does inflation resolve tuning problems, or does the Second Law of Thermodynamics guarantee that tuning will always be present in cosmology? In my view, none of these questions has yet to be answered definitively, and proposed answers may well lead to interesting observable tests. In this chapter, I have outlined my efforts to wrestle with these questions, and the interesting progress that has been made. The stronger the evidence is for some period of inflation, the more compelling and exciting I find the challenges presented by these remaining unanswered questions.

Kp ; η) are actually time-independent and in general depend only very weakly on time (and henceforth on (p) the cosmological parameters). The functions Fa are usually denoted by Fp and Gp Pab1-loop(k, η) = 2 Ψa(3)(k, q, –q) −q q + Ψb(1)(k) Ψa(2)(q, k–q) Ψb(2)(q, k–q) Fig.

The first significant progress in this line was the renormalized perturbation theory (RPT) proposal (Crocce and Scoccimarro, 2006a), followed, among others, by a closure theory (Taruya and Hiramatsu, 2008) and a time-flow equations approach (Pietroni, 2008). , 2012) that incorporate calculations at two-loop order and are accompanied by publicly released codes. , 2012b). Finally, approaches that aim at circumventing the intrinsic limitation of first-principles calculations, namely, the single-flow approximation, have been proposed.
