“…The criterion that has the signi cant effect on the seismic hazard microzonation is the PGA, an observation consistent with previous works that used a similar set of criteria (e.g., Abudeif et al 2017;Flores et al 2020;Mohanty et al 2007;Nat and Thingbaijam 2009). These results lead to the conclusion that despite the complex site effects characteristics the earthquake has a major impact on the seismic hazard at a large territorial scale.…”

“…The seismic hazard microzonation shows a homogeneous distribution of the seismic hazard levels; in other words, we can identify subareas of speci c seismic hazard levels within the studied area. Several previous works have also observed this trend using similar criteria set (e.g., Abudeif et al 2017;Flores et al 2020). However, the seismic risk microzonation shows a heterogeneous distribution of the seismic risk levels (Fig.…”

“…The peak ground acceleration, PGA, constitutes a critical factor in estimating seismic hazard because ground motion damages the structures (e.g., Abudeif et al 2017;Dhar et al 2016;Frolova et al 2016). The PGA represents the maximum possible horizontal acceleration of the ground surface produced during an earthquake.…”

The destructive effects of an earthquake are enhanced when the population is not prepared. The experiences from the past highlighted the importance of proper planning based on adequate scientific data. The Puerto Vallarta metropolitan area (PVMA) comprises medium-sized, rapid-growing urban areas of independent administrative and political entities that maintain a constant, direct socioeconomic interrelation. The PVMA is located in a region with a complex tectonic setting that produces important seismic activity and is affected by beaches, rivers, and estuary systems that produce complex soils and subsoil conditions. Moreover, the PVMA constantly undergoes anthropogenic processes that modify the local geomorphology and produce improper urbanization. Therefore, the PVMA constitutes an ideal natural laboratory to implement and test techniques to estimate seismic hazard, social vulnerability, and seismic risk. These techniques can be later implemented in other similar cities around the world. To determine the seismic hazard, social vulnerability, and seismic risk of the PVMA, we implemented the Multicriteria Evaluation Method within a Graphical Information System considering geomorphological (i.e., bedrock, soil, slope, curvature, flow accumulation), geophysical (peak ground acceleration, shear velocity, vibration frequency), and social information (population density, age, disabilities, health access, housing, and economic activity). We estimate the seismic hazard, social vulnerability, and seismic risk by considering three possible earthquakes. The results indicate a heterogeneous distribution of seismic risk with levels between moderate to high. Finally, a seismic risk microzonation in terms of the percentages of the seismic risk levels is proposed for the Puerto Vallarta metropolitan area.

Deep learning is an important concept introduced into modern learning science. It is different from the surface learning of mechanically and passively acquiring knowledge and storing individual information but emphasizes learners’ active and critical learning. It wants them to understand the full meaning of what they have learned. By establishing a link between existing knowledge and new knowledge, it transfers existing knowledge to a new environment, makes decisions, and solves problems. Deep learning plays an important role in students’ learning. Deep learning ability is the key factor affecting the quality of learning and the development of students’ academic ability. The quality of in-depth teaching is difficult to guarantee, which requires a complete, comprehensive, and evaluation system to evaluate it. This paper introduces the analytic hierarchy process to weight the indexes in mathematics deep learning and puts forward some suggestions on creating an environment for deep learning. The experimental results show that teachers’ teaching accounts for the highest proportion of primary indicators, reaching 67%. Multimedia resources account for the highest proportion of secondary indicators, reaching 73.01%. This paper then puts forward some suggestions for indicators with large weights.

“…A decision matrix to select the most suitable remediation options using multiple criteria decision analysis (MCDA) approach is developed (Abudeif et al 2017;Benedetti et al 2010;Mendoza and Martins 2006). The five options are evaluated against the comparison criteria.…”

Freshwater groundwater resources at north Kuwait were contaminated by infiltrated oil as well as sea water that was used to fight the oil-well fires during the liberation of Kuwait in 1991. This paper investigates the feasibility of five remediation options to restore the polluted aquifers. These options include: (i) pump and treat of contaminated groundwater; (ii) cleaning the aquifer formation; (iii) construction of additional desalination plant; (iv) constructing additional storage tanks, and (v) development of artificial aquifer recharge schemes. The basis for this assessment study is to supply minimum basic drinking water to Kuwait City at a total rate of 50,000 m 3 /day in an emergency for up to one year based on essential basic need of 32 liters per capita per day. To compare these options, a decision matrix to select suitable remediation options using Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) approach is developed. The cost was given a relative weight of 20 whereas other criteria are given weight of 10. Based on these MCDA scores, it was found that option 3, namely, establishing an additional water desalination plant, is the most feasible option followed by option 5, artificial recharge of aquifers.
