Welcome Message from the Chairman of ICBS 2018 On behalf of the organizing committee, it is a great pleasure to welcome all the participants and keynote speakers to the 4th International Conference Basic Science (ICBS) 2018 at the Pattimura University Ambon, Indonesia with theme "The Development of Science and Technology in Improving Natural and Cultural Resources". This theme aims to discuss the role of science and technology in increasing the use of natural resources and cultural development in the Maluku islands. This international forum also provides a platform where national and international academia or researchers, policy makers, and other stakeholders to translate technology, exchange ideas, and help stimulate multidisciplinary international collaborations in a convergent-manner for shaping a worldwide sustainable development. It is worth noting that, the 4thICBS event genuinely highlights the important of convergence of basic science research to address world’s sustainability challenges. The conference was attended by invited speakers from Hochschule Nordhausen University Germany; Kumamoto University, Japan; Indonesian Parrot Project; Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember, Indonesia. There are250 participants, with poster participants 19 articles, oral presentations 51 articles and 185 non-presenter participants.This proceedings only contain 15 articles because the others has been selected to publish in international journal. We would like to acknowledge the terrific support of proceedings editorial team and reviewers in managing this proceedings book. We also would like to thank all participants who present their academic works in the 4th ICBS 2018, and especially to our distinguished invited speakers for their collaboration and contribution for the success of the 4thICBS 2018. Sincerely, Diana Julaidy Patty, S.Si., M.Sc Chairman of the committee Welcome Message from the Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences Assalamu’alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh. Salam Sejahtera bagi kita semua. Om Swastiastu. Namo Buddhaya. On behalf of the Dean of Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Universitas Pattimura, I would like to extend my warmest welcome to all delegates from all over the world. Welcome to Ambon–the city of music –in Indonesia. Ambon, surrounds by a hundred islands has many tourist destinations, highlands, mountains, and some natural beaches. We are very pleased to welcome you in the proceedings book of the 4th International Conference Basic Sciences2018. This proceedings is one of the continuations for the conference. Based on these papers, hopefully, more collaborations can be initiated or should be followed up between us. I would like to express my gratitude to all of the participants, keynote and invited speakers as well. Many thanks go to the reviewers and the editorial team for their big effort in supporting this book. My appreciation to the steering and organizing committees for realizing this book. Thank you Wassalamu ‘alaikum wr wb. Prof. Dr. Pieter Kakisina, S.Pd.,M.Si Dean Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences
An integrated treatment of the principal fields of classical and applied geosciences of Central America, this authoritative two-volume monograph treats the region as a whole, exploring geology, earth resources and geo-hazards across political boundaries. It reviews the published literature, and supplements it with an abundance of information from o
This book is an attempt to demonstrate the analytical power of the holistic approach for understanding disasters. Six major earthquakes in Latin America are used as an example: the general idea is to place disasters in a broad social and regional context. Understanding disasters is a way of understanding the social system. The idea is to show that every major disaster is unique and different. Statistical methods may be useful for purposes of risk estimation but modern disasters are "systemic" and complex. In the chapter on the 2010 Chile earthquake we discuss the tsunami and why the system of tsunami alert did not work. The introductory chapter contains some basics of seismology (plate tectonics) and earthquake engineering. The 1985 Mexico earthquake describes why geology is important. Why was Mexico City founded in a lake? Technology must be adapted to the environment, not "imported" from possibly more advanced but different societies. The 1970 Peru earthquake is an example of disaster in a unique environment. Caracas 1967 takes us on a survey of different engineering solutions. And the 1960 Chile earthquake leads us on a retrospective survey--what has changed in Chile between the two major Chile earthquakes? A discussion on Charles Darwin’s observations of the 1835 Chile earthquake provides a fitting summary.
In the statistical domain, certain topics have received considerable attention during the last decade or so, necessitated by the growth and evolution of data and theoretical challenges. This growth has invariably been accompanied by computational advancement, which has presented end users as well as researchers with the necessary opportunities to handle data and implement modelling solutions for statistical purposes. Showcasing the interplay among a variety of disciplines, this book offers pioneering theoretical and applied solutions to practice-oriented problems. As a carefully curated collection of prominent international thought leaders, it fosters collaboration between statisticians and biostatisticians and provides an array of thought processes and tools to its readers. The book thereby creates an understanding and appreciation of recent developments as well as an implementation of these contributions within the broader framework of both academia and industry. Computational and Methodological Statistics and Biostatistics is composed of three main themes: • Recent developments in theory and applications of statistical distributions;• Recent developments in supervised and unsupervised modelling;• Recent developments in biostatistics; and also features programming code and accompanying algorithms to enable readers to replicate and implement methodologies. Therefore, this monograph provides a concise point of reference for a variety of current trends and topics within the statistical domain. With interdisciplinary appeal, it will be useful to researchers, graduate students, and practitioners in statistics, biostatistics, clinical methodology, geology, data science, and actuarial science, amongst others.
Statistical Seismology aims to bridge the gap between physics-based and statistics-based models. This volume provides a combination of reviews, methodological studies, and applications, which point to promising efforts in this field. The volume will be useful to students and professional researchers alike, who are interested in using stochastic modeling for probing the nature of earthquake phenomena, as well as an essential ingredient for earthquake forecasting.
