CHAPTER - 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1. GENERAL The feasibility of a potentially damaging phenomenon occurring within a specified span of time and within a given area is termed as a natural hazard. When the human societies, living things and built environment are troubled by any of the natural hazards, then it is considered as a disaster. Earthquakes are the most horrific natural disaster without leaving much scope for prevention of hazard after the occurrence of the event especially because of its inherent
It changed people's life in the term of their educational implications, science, development of language and literature, growth of art and architecture, national unity of people. According to the source of the Importance of the encounter with Buddhism for modern science, there is increasing argument that Buddhism can potentially have a dominant and efficient influence on modern science, primarily at two levels: 1) the detailed research level evident in the study
engineering. In those conferences, I saw the importance of geotechnic through different uses, and that it is involved in specialties available to different fields: mining, transportation routes, design of earth structures and constructive process. That is the reason I pushed myself, during my first college years, to learn more and expand my knowledge in the different uses of geotechnic along with my college courses (such as General Soil Mechanics, Geology, Soil Mechanics applied to Foundations
Management, SRM University, Chennai, 603203, arokiaprakash.a@ktr.srmuniv.ac.in 1 ABSTRACT Strategic Management is a concept that concerns with making decisions and taking corrective actions to achieve long term targets and goals of an organization. The importance of strategic management in a firm can be answered by analyzing relationship between strategic management and organizational performance. Generally strategic management can improve the efficiency in various
Introduction: Technology has drastically evolved over the years to become one of the most used tools in today's world of education. And, with the evolution of technology, educational capabilities are growing and changing every day especially in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) specialties which are rapidly developing. In this article, researchers present a new form of technology-enhanced learning called: Immersive simulation. This technology is based on collaborative inquiry
have had an impressive effect, advancing the verbal confrontation on intellectual property rights and improvement strategy. In any case, NGOs must stay watchful to guarantee that they don't move toward becoming giver driven. • After sometime the importance of commitments that NGOs have made to intellectual property strategy making and standard setting exercises in multilateral establishments will turn out to be more clear, yet this isn't a fleeting procedure. Role of Legal education and awareness
For instance, I have little interest in how the current landscape was formed from millions of years of lava explosion or coastal erosion, they are simply too long ago for me to relate to, and offers me little value. Thus, my lack of interest in geology made it very difficult for me to learn and study
the method of many practical skills relevant to seismology, this book is still highly regarded by scientists worldwide and is considered by many to be Richter’s greatest contribution to the geography of natural hazards (YourDictionary, 2018). The importance of this piece of work to geography is shown with it’s current application to seismology and standard use in the field, helping researchers to locate an earthquakes epicenter, and also contains many practical methods for research amongst many other
Introduction The Government of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago identifies the biological heritage of these islands; its animals, plants, terrestrial and marine ecosystems; as an essential, unique heritage of the individuals of Trinidad and Tobago. It was noted that sustainable development and the long term affluence of the nation is dependent upon the conservation and proper management of the biological assets. Trinidad and Tobago’s biodiversity is recognised nationally and internationally
