We perform a strong ground motion simulation using a modified semi-empirical technique (Midorikawa in Tectonophysics 218:287–295, <CitationRef CitationID="CR33">1993</CitationRef>), with frequency-dependent radiation pattern model. Joshi et al. (Nat Hazards 71:587–609, <CitationRef CitationID="CR21">2014</CitationRef>) have modified the semi-empirical technique to incorporate the...</citationref></citationref>

Uttarakhand Himalayas are among one of the most seismically active continental regions of the world. The Himalayan belt in this region is divided into Kumaon and Garhwal Himalaya. The Kumaon Himalayas has not experienced any large earthquake in the recent past; however, this region is frequently...

Attenuation relationships are commonly used for engineering studies to estimate the peak ground acceleration values. This paper presents the role of attenuation relationship in defining the seismic hazard in an area. It is seen that the seismic hazard in an area, which is calculated using...

A method of seismic zonation based on the deterministic modeling of rupture planes is presented. Finite rupture planes along identified lineaments are modeled in the Uttarakhand Himalaya based on the semi empirical technique of Midorikawa (Tectonophysics 218:287–295, 1993). The expected peak...

This paper discusses the thermal modelling of the technique for cooling buildings by means of open evaporation of water over the roof. A comparative study of cooling by means of (i) a roof pond, (ii) a water spray and (iii) moving water over the roof is presented. The influences of parameters...

Implementing change in management, successfully and profitably, is the greatest challenge for modern enterprises. Innovation in strategies, marketing performance, role of competition, change in technology, change in customer needs, management initiatives are all facts of life in the global...

The scaling relationships for stress drop and corner frequency with respect to magnitude have been worked out using 159 accelerograms from 34 small earthquakes (M <Subscript>w</Subscript> 3.3–4.9) in the Kachchh region of Gujarat. The 318 spectra of P and S waves have been analyzed for this purpose. The average...</subscript>

The present study purports the analysis of total electron content (TEC, which is one of the major ionosphere anomalies during the earthquake), sea surface temperature (SST) and outgoing long-wave radiation (OLR) during the earthquake event recorded on 10 March 2013 (M = 6.5). Global...
