A method is presented for determining the local magnitude, NIL, from records from seismoscopes and similar instruments. The technique extrapolates the maximum response of the standard Wood-Anderson seismograph, which determines ML, from the maximum response of the seismoscope. The standard deviation of the steady-state response of an oscillator subjected to white noise excitation is used to der...

Abstract In order to quantitatively evaluate the one-dimensional site seismic response analysis methods, this article selected 2418 ground motion records of Japan KiK-net strong-motion seismograph network and groups acceleration spectra calculated by DEEPSOIL, SHAKE2000, SOILQUAKE SOILRESPONSE, then` used dynamic time warping (DTW) algorithm calculate DTW distance between measured spectrum spec...

The present article discusses a role of psychophysical experiment as a powerful facility of psychodiagnostics and an instrument of professional selection. The experimental study shows that individual characteristics of signal detection during the changing a priori probability of the signal can be a base for the efficient forecast of success of real activity of the man-operator. Statistical sign...

Background and objectives: Electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields can act as stress factors with different effects on biological systems. Due to the nutritional and medicinal values, and the increasing electromagnetic radiations, the present study was performed to investigate the effects of the electromagnetic field on the developmental stages and cytotoxic properties of...

Objective(s):Electromagnetic radiations which have lethal effects on the living cells are currently also considered as a disinfective physical agent.   Materials and Methods: In this investigation, silver nanoparticles were applied to enhance the lethal action of low powers (100 and 180 W) of 2450 MHz electromagnetic radiation especially against Escherichia coli ATCC 8739. Silver nanoparticles ...
