(2015b) Distribution of the marine debris on seafloor from the primary report of five cruises after the Great East Japan Earthquake 2011. In: Ceccaldi H.J., Henocque, Y., Koike, Y., Komatsu, T., Stora G., and Tusseau-Vuillemin, M.-H., eds., "Marine Productivity: Perturbations and...
Renewable natural resources, such as solar radiation, rainfall, wind, and geothermal heat, together with ecosystem services, provide the elementary supports for the sustainable development of human society. To improve regional sustainability, we studied the spatial distributions and quantities of renewable ...
Another PWD who experienced the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011 and evacuated from home noted: I have been transported to the hospital in B Prefecture five times due to extreme stress after the nuclear accident (which occurred on March 11, 2011). Two and half years later (October 2013),...
Minamisoma Municipal Odaka Hospital, located 13 to 20 km from Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear power plant in a post-evacuation zone, was greatly affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake and subsequent radiation disaster. Data were retrospectively collected from patient records, including age, gender, ...
The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant disaster, a consequence of the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, affected the lives of families with young children because of uncertainties related to long-term, low-dose radiation exposure. A high prevalence of maternal depression was reported in the early...
For instance, a crowd stampede accident occurred at the Experimental Primary School in Puyang, China in 2017, resulting in one student dead and 22 injured [4]. A 7.5-magnitude earthquake hit Central Sulawesi, Indonesia, on 28 September 2018; more than 1500 schools collapsed and 184,000 pupils...
Effectiveness and Limitations of Coastal Forest in Large Tsunami: Conditions of Japanese Pine Trees on Coastal Sand Dunes in Tsunami Caused by Great East Japan Earthquake. J. Jpn. Soc. Civ. Eng. Ser. B1 (Hydraul. Eng.) 2012, 68, II-7–II-15. [Google Scholar] [CrossRef] [PubMed] ...
These issues encouraged us to choose this governorate as the real case study for the purposes of identifying the locations of PHCCs and allocating people in the area to the located PHCCs so as to alleviate the impacts of this man-made disaster. Consequently, the remaining sections of this ...
If a location has a higher risk of earthquake, the weighting for the scores of each module will be as follows: structural safety (50%), nonstructural safety (30%), and disaster and emergency management (20%). The index part was calculated by multiplying the weight with the weighting ratio...
Moreover, physical barriers, such as dams and levees, can reduce the destructive impacts of floods; however, a community’s overconfidence caused by these protective structures may pose a challenge [2,26]. On the other hand, much research has been done on the impacts of reconstruction on the...
