A massive 8.9 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Japan, triggering a devastating tsunami. The tsunami reached heights of over 20 feet in some areas, sweeping away homes, vehicles, and killing hundreds of people. Major damage occurred in coastal cities and towns, with many structures caught fire after being flooded by the tsunami waters. The earthquake and tsunami caused widespread destruction along Japan's eastern coast and major disruption to transportation and infrastructure.

A series of waves in a water body caused by the displacement of a large volume of water, generally in an ocean or a large lake. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other underwater explosions (including detonations, landslides, glacier calvings, meteorite impacts and other disturbances) above or below water all have the potential to generate a tsunami. Unlike normal ocean waves, which are generated by wind, or tides, which are generated by the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun, a tsunami is generated by the displacement of water by a large event.

Implementing Hot and Cold Air Containment in Existing Data CentersSchneider Electric
Containment solutions can eliminate hot spots and provide energy savings over traditional uncontained data center designs. The best containment solution for an existing facility will depend on the constraints of the facility. While ducted hot aisle containment is preferred for highest efficiency, cold aisle containment tends to be easier and more cost effective for facilities with existing raised floor air distribution. This presentation investigates the constraints, reviews all available containment methods, and provides recommendations for determining the best containment approach.

A tsunami is a series of waves that are brought about by an earthquake in the sea or any other volcanic eruption. Tsunamis have happened since the creation of the world. Major Tsunamis are caused by earthquakes that happen after the collision of tectonic plates (Samuels). Some plates are too hard to be pushed when a collision occurs they release energy causing seismic waves. These sudden seismic waves lead to an earth shake. Tsunamis can be very dangerous to the dwellers of the seashore (Taylor). Tsunamis that have happened have been recorded to cause deaths and loss of property. For instance, the largest Tsunami to occur was in Sumatra in 2004 which had a magnitude of 9.1 and left over 230,000 people dead. The Tsunami that happened in 2011 in Japan was devastating and resulted in loss of many lives. Property of approximately 300billion dollars was damaged by the earthquake and tsunami. People drowned and most of them died. Many pictures were taken to keep a memory of what happened. This Tsunami was very large and impacted a lot to the Japanese government.
Many publications have been made about the historic 2011 earthquake, tsunami and subsequent nuclear accident that occurred in Japan. The magnitude of the earthquake was 8.9. Authors and photographers have published many articles with photographs of the tragedy, commonly referred to as "3/11". The earthquake hit the Tohoku region of Japan (BBC news). It swept away the entire town, killed thousands of dwellers and triggered a nuclear meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Many damages were mostly along the coastline. The photo shows a wave that resulted from the tsunami earthquake as it approached Miyako City from the Heigawi estuary in Iwate Prefecture. The picture was taken on March 11, 2011, published in the Mainichi Shimbun. The photo shows the wave sweeping everything on the coastline including vehicles and houses. In the ocean, ships are seen as they are carried away, and others stack in the water. Some part of the city is submerged by the waters. The wave looks very strong and fast approaching, carrying and destroying everything on its way. This part was one of the most affected parts by the tragedy. Much of the town city was destroyed. The photo is just representation of how the deadly waves approached the cities in Japan destroying people and properties.
The earthquake in Tohoku 2011, struck the offshore of Japan beside a subduction zone where two tectonic plates were colliding. A subduction zone is where one plate slides below the other into the mantle which is the hotter layer below the crust. A recent study found out that, the Pacific plate which is in the east of Japan slides beneath the Eurasian plate (Samuels). On 11th March, 2011 an earthquake started at around 2.46pm on Friday local time. The earthquake was centered on the seafloor 72 kilometers in the East of Tohoku. It was felt in a depth of 24 kil ...

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
