background recently, assessment of the atrial motion and deformation indices obtained via doppler myocardial imaging (dmi) has been proposed as a new method of exploring the atrial function. objective our aim was to assess the right atrial (ra) regional function using myocardial velocities, strain, and strain rate imaging (sri) and compare it with the function of the inter-atrial septum (ias) a...

The elastic properties of the unconsolidated materials which cover most of the earth are, in general, unknown. In this paper, an attempt was made to measure, in the field, the shear and compressional wave velocities, with the emphasis on those for shear waves. For this purpose,'a simple source was devised which produced fairly pure shear waves. A portable refraction seismograph of standard desi...

The paper outlines a probabilistic basis for the automatic estimation from observed surface wave dispersion of structural model parameters with uncertainties. Given an earth model, a wave type and pertinent parameter values, the group velocity of seismic waves can be computed from theory as a function of frequency. Such a function may also be based on the dynamic spectrum representation of an e...

The paper presents an application of digital filtering in data processing of acceleration records from earthquakes. Butterworth, Chebyshev, and Bessel filters with different orders are considered to eliminate the frequency noise. A dataset under investigation includes accelerograms from three stations, located in Turkey (Dinar, Izmit, Kusadasi), all working with an analogue type of seismograph ...
