We extended the analyses of temporal variation of coda Q−1 and seismicity by Jin and Aki (1989, 1993) for central and southern California to year 2003. We use the relative frequency N(M c ...
This paper discusses various slip modes on a plate boundary on the basis of a two-degree-of-freedom block-spring model and large-scale biaxial experiments, including a new experimental result on afterslip. We ...
This study attempts to estimate the short-term probabilities of large earthquakes in an offshore area of northeast Japan, where long-term probabilities are assessed based on earthquake intervals. Previous stud...
Takahiro Hagiwara, Professor Emeritus of the University of Tokyo, was born in 1908, and passed away in 1999. His name is inseparably tied with earthquake prediction, especially as the founder of the earthquake...
An overview of seismic activity in Central Switzerland is presented. As earthquake activity has been very low for the time period of modern instrumental observation, we focus on the largest known earthquakes i...
The location of the September 3, 1295 earthquake has so far been assumed to be in the Central Alps. It was assessed at an intensity VIII in the catalogue MECOS 99 in MSK. This event was recently analyzed withi...
Luminescence dating and sedimentological observations at the Thalgut site, Aare Valley, Switzerland, imply deposition of glaciofluvial sediments and consequently a glacier advance during the earliest Late Plei...
This paper aims to describe the possible SE extension of the Zanskar Shear Zone and its relation with other extensional and compressional structures. New structural and metamorphic data were collected in the B...
Shrinkage of green cane (Arundo donax L.) was measured during air-drying at room temperature. The cane began to shrink at 150% moisture content due to a remarkable collapse of parenchyma cells. The collapse recov...
This study was carried out to investigate the effects of end-taping of sapwood (ETS) and removal of sapwood (ROS) treatments of log cross sections on the radial distributions of moisture content (MC) and tange...
Dielectric measurements at 9.8 GHz and 2.45 GHz were made for the three hardwoods Euramerican hybrid poplar, alder, and oriental beech. The method used was based on Von Hippel’s transmission line method. The m...
The effects of physical properties of wood, including specific gravity, porosity, and water retention, on the water activity (a w) of wood meal media for the cultivation of edible mushrooms were e...
The deformation behavior of low molecular weight phenol formaldehyde (PF) resin-impregnated wood under compression in the radial direction was investigated for obtaining high-strength wood at low pressing pres...
Under fixed cutting conditions, the surface finish roughness is correlated to the grain angle. However, the means of determining the grain angle automatically and accurately is still a challenge for on-line co...
The smell of food is one of the most important factors in assessing its quality. Concerning the smell of dried shiitake mushrooms [Lentinula edodes (Berk.) Pegler], 1,2,3,5,6-pentathiepane, commonly known as lent...
Specimens made of clear wood from Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) were compressed semi-isostatically at 25°C in a Quintus press. Pressure ranged from 0 to 140 MPa and the maximum decrease in the crosscut area wa...
In this report, we undertook studies of the viscoelastic properties of wood from the viewpoint of the fine structure and properties of the constituent materials in the wood cell wall. To measure the mechanical...
Mechanical property changes due to the moisture content (MC) and/or temperature changes were examined for 15 Indonesian wood species. A static bending test was carried out at 20°C, 65% relative humidity (air-d...
To clarify the behavior of whole lignins in wood cell walls during alkaline nitrobenzene oxidation, the delignification process from cell walls in normal and compression woods of Chamaecyparis obtusa Endl. (Cupre...
