To understand the tsunami generation mechanism and earthquakes along the Japan Trench, we require detailed information of ages, intervals, and sizes of historical and paleo-tsunamis at multiple sites.
The first step in this new procedure is to examine the degree of non-independence, the within and between trip variability, and the effective sample sizes of historical cluster samples to identify factors that influence sampling efficiency.
Although a few studies have examined paleo-tsunami deposits along the Sanriku coast, additional studies of paleo-earthquakes and tsunamis are needed to improve our knowledge of the timing, recurrence interval, and size of historical and pre-historic tsunamis.
On the other hand, the size of historical and paleo-tsunamis can be estimated from our results because the 1896 Meiji Sanriku tsunami inundated the KYD-trench site and transported tsunami deposits there.
China, for a variety of reasons — including size, sense of historical grievance, level of development, nationalist aspirations and one-party rule — only plays by Western rules when those are to its advantage.
The meal is narrated almost from the minute you sit down, starting with a printed card tied to a box of savory black-and-white cookies ("the quintessential New York treat"), and scarcely letting up until you leave, when you are handed a pocket-size book of historical background on the food you've just eaten.
Although the actual nature and size of the historical settlement remain matters of scholarly debate, the ruins of Troy at Hisarlık, Turkey, are a key archaeological site whose many layers illustrate the gradual development of civilization in northwestern Asia Minor.
Practices were randomly assigned to either arm of the trial using a minimisation technique (Pocock, 1983, pp 84 86) to ensure that the two groups were balanced for: size of practice; historical referral rate; and social deprivation index.

Increasing the sample size of the east Atlantic dataset and further study of historical population sizes may provide a clearer pattern of any association between sperm head morphology and population density among the study populations.
"A World on Fire" is at once a comprehensive military and diplomatic account of the war and a vast picaresque, the prose equivalent of one of those room-size, panoramic oil paintings of historical or mythological events that artists used to take on tour in the nineteenth century.
