Evacuee Generation Model of the 2011 Tohoku Tsunami in Ishinomaki

Many people could/did not evacuate from the tsunami, despite having sufficient evacuation time and warning in the 2011 Tohoku tsunami. The authors focused on evacuee generation and developed the numerical model associated with it. We simulated tsunami evacuation in Ishinomaki during the 2011 Tohoku tsunami. The results revealed that people located along the seaside had more difficulty to start evacuation than those on the hillside because of lack of information sources including people’s behaviors, and the start of tsunami evacuation became more difficult as time passed.

This article studies Josquin des Prez, a musical genius who refused to compose on request and was an individualist who represented the new spirit of humanism. It notes the lack of information sources or print for studies on Josquin. This makes him a good example of how musicologists who carry out research on the sixteenth century are often forced to go to the extremes in order to recover even the tiniest shreds of historical evidence. Nevertheless, this article focuses on information gathered by several researchers about Josquin, including his importance in Renaissance studies.

Tohoku Tsunami

The Tohoku tsunami was a devastating event that struck North-East Japan in 2011 and remained in the memory of people worldwide. The amount of devastation was so great that it took years to achieve a proper assessment of the economical and structural damage, with the consequences still being felt today. However, this tsunami was also one of the first observed from the sky by modern satellites and aircrafts, thus providing a unique opportunity to exploit these data and train artificial intelligence methods that could help to better handle the aftermath of similar disasters in the future. This paper provides a review of how artificial intelligence methods applied to case studies about the Tohoku tsunami have evolved since 2011. We focus on more than 15 studies that are compared and evaluated in terms of the data they require, the methods used, their degree of automation, their metric performances, and their strengths and weaknesses.
