Landslides of Tephra Deposits on Hillslopes of the Aso Caldera Wall and Volcanic Central Cones by the North-Kyushu Heavy Rainfall at July 2012
No full textThe north-Kyushu heavy rainfall on July 2012 triggered severe shallow landsliding of hillslopes of caldera wall and volcanic central cones located in the Aso caldera area. The sliding materials are mainly tephra deposits with stratified structure covering this area, bearing a mechanically weak layer at the depth of sliding. Shear strength of soils extracted from the two types of typical slip scars shows clear difference in their cohesive component. The silty loam obtained at the Naka-sakanashi area (a part of the west-facing caldera wall) has a higher cohesion than the sandy loam from the Sensui-kyo area (in the central cone). This soil property seems to be reflected to the shape of landslides, which exhibits a deeper (~3 m) and gentler (~30°) sliding scar in the Naka-sakanashi area, than a shallower (< 1 m) and steeper (~40°) scar in the Sensuikyo area. We carried out an infinite planer slope stability analysis to reconstruct conditions for landslide initiation. The results demonstrate that an increase in pore water pressure in the mechanically-weak potential slip plane triggered the landslides.The north-Kyushu heavy rainfall on July 2012 triggered severe shallow landsliding of hillslopes of caldera wall and volcanic central cones located in the Aso caldera area.

Weighted local Morrey spaces
No full textWe discuss the boundedness of linear and sublinear operators in two types of weighted local Morrey spaces. One is defined by Natasha Samko in 2008. The other is defined by Yasuo Komori-Furuya and Satoru Shirai in 2009. We characterize the class of weights for which the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator is bounded. Under a certain integral condition it turns out that the singular integral operators are bounded if and only if the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator is bounded. As an application of the characterization, the power weight function [pipe] · [pipe] is considered. The condition on α for which the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator is bounded can be described completely.</p
