Subductions Sample Clauses

Subductions. To take into account the contribution of potential earthquakes generated by subduction sources we included in the database a new layer specifically designed during the course of the project. Subduction zones are known to generate earthquake ruptures of several types: those generated at the slab interface, those generated within the slab (intra-slab and outer-rise), and those that propagate from the slab interface into the upper plate (megasplays) (Satake and Tanioka, 1999) and to follow different scaling laws (Xxxxxxxx et al., 2010) and rheology (Xxxxx and Lay, 1999) from those of crustal earthquakes. Since this layer was not included in previous schemes, it was partially inspired at existing models available in the literature, such as the SLAB 1.0 by Xxxxx and Xxxx (2009) and Xxxxx et al. (2009). The subduction layer is designed as to include a model of the plates interface at convergent boundaries based on geological and geophysical data. The plate interface is mapped as collection of free-form polygons with a variable number of nodes. Each single polygon, or sub-element, represents a portion of the entire surface of the subducting plate from the outer limit of the trench to the lower tip of the dipping slab (Figure 6). Notice that this scheme includes portions of the slab at depths that probably exceed those useful for hazard assessment. However, this condition has to be determined a posteriori. In addition, some modeling techniques (e.g. finite elements) could benefit from the availability of data about the whole subduction. Each sub-element has consistent geologic, geometric and kinematic characteristics and is bounded by lines of constant depth except for the uppermost line when it coincides with the seafloor. Similarly to crustal seismogenic sources, subductions are characterized by geometric (strike, dip, depth, crust thickness) and behavior (rake, slip rate, seismic coupling, maximum earthquake magnitude) parameters. These parameters are given for all sub-elements and their range of variability within the entire subduction is also stored in a summary table. Differently from crustal seismogenic sources, some parameters have a peculiar role. Seismic coupling, although very difficult to estimate, is supposed to provide a ratio between plate convergence and earthquake production at the slab interface. Two earthquake magnitude parameters are supplied which capture the maximum observed magnitude produced at the slab interface and within the slab. Also, ...

  • Inoculations The Employer agrees to pay full expenses for inoculation or immunization shots for the employee and for members of an employee’s household when such becomes necessary as a result of said employee’s exposure to contagious diseases (including AIDS, tuberculosis and hepatitis) where said officer has been exposed to said disease in the line of duty.

  • Installations 2.1. This test shall be conducted with either the complete REESS or with a related REESS subsystem(s) including the cells and their electrical connections. If the manufacturer chooses to test with related subsystem(s), the manufacturer shall demonstrate that the test result can reasonably represent the performance of the complete REESS with respect to its safety performance under the same conditions. If the electronic management unit for the REESS is not integrated in the casing enclosing the cells, then the electronic management unit may be omitted from installation on the Tested-Device if so requested by the manufacturer.

  • SUBLOOPS 45.1. Sprint will offer unbundled access to copper subloops and subloops for access to multiunit premises wiring. Sprint will consider all requests for access to subloops through the ICB process due to the wide variety of interconnections available and the lack of standards. A written response will be provided to CLEC covering the interconnection time intervals, prices and other information based on the ICB process as set forth in this Agreement.

  • Closures PROVIDER agrees compensation for temporary closures will be handled in accordance with Office of Early Learning Rule 6M-8.204(5), F.A.C.

The Landlord may remove at the Tenant’s expense any such obstruction or thing (unauthorized by the Landlord) without notice or obligation to the Tenant.

  • Electrical connections Equipment requiring electrical connections for operation shall either be hard wired to the Authorized User's provided connections or the Contractor shall be responsible for a male electrical union. All connections shall be made by the Contractor and accomplished in accordance with National Electrical Code requirements.

Toilets not cleaned on daily basis.) 2 = POOR (Toilets cleaned, but still visible signs of dirt, e.g. dust, cobwebs.) 3 = GOOD (Obvious sign that toilets are cleaned daily.) 4 = EXCELLENT (Extra effort is put in to ensure cleanliness, e.g. using detergents.)
