This paper examines the corporate code of ethics of Indian companies as displayed on their websites. With the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) having made it mandatory for listed companies to frame a code of conduct and to place it on their websites, the question arises whether...

An endeavour has been made in the present study to estimate the uncertainties in strong ground-motion estimation for Delhi region. The strong ground motion (SGM) has been estimated using the logic-tree approach with equal weights chosen for the branches of the logic tree because a scientific...

Empirical Green’s function (EGF) technique is considered to be most effective technique for simulation of ground motions due to a finite earthquake source. In the present paper, this technique has been used to simulate ground motion due to a great earthquake. The coastal region of Sumatra...

The semi-empirical approach for modeling of strong ground motion given by Midorikawa (Tectonophysics 218:287–295, <CitationRef CitationID="CR38">1993</CitationRef>) has been modified in the present paper for component wise simulation of strong ground motion. The modified approach uses seismic moment in place of attenuation relation for...</citationref>

A homogenous earthquake catalog is a basic input for seismic hazard estimation, and other seismicity studies. The preparation of a homogenous earthquake catalog for a seismic region needs regressed relations for conversion of different magnitudes types, e.g. m <Subscript> b </Subscript>, M <Subscript> s </Subscript>, to the unified moment...</subscript></subscript>

Endeavors to realistically model physical processes responsible for earthquake occurrence and sustained large uncertainties in the results have lead to the application of techniques like artificial neural network for estimation of rate/probability of earthquake occurrence in future. The...
