Derivation of consistent hard rock (1000 < VS < 3000 m/s) GMPEs from surface and down-hole recordings: analysis of KiK-net data
2017
Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering
Preserved Fulltext
A key component in seismic hazard assessment is the estimation of ground motion for hard rock sites, either for applications to installations built on this site category, or as an input motion for site ...
As current GMPEs are poorly constrained for V S30 larger than 1000 m/s, the presently used approach for estimating hazard on hard rock sites consists of "host-to-target" adjustment techniques based on ...
We are indebted to the National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention (NIED), Japan, for providing the KiKnet data and the F-NET information used for this analysis. ...

If s(n) = n ω(1) , we amplify to hardness 1/2 − 1/n ω(1) . 2. If s(n) = 2 n Ω(1) , we amplify to hardness 1/2−1/2 n Ω(1) . 3. If s(n) = 2 Ω(n) , we amplify to hardness 1/2−1/2 Ω( √ n) . ...
An important tool for establishing this connection is the so-called hardcore set lemma of Impagliazzo [11] , which allows us to pass from computational hardness to information-theoretic hardness. ...

To this end, we first review an example of practical efforts made to construct more secure PUFs, namely the concept of rolling PUFs. ...
Hence, we shift our focus to known approaches for hardness amplification acknowledged in the ML theory. ...
