S U M M A R Y It is now widely accepted that elastic properties of the continental lithosphere and the underlying sublithospheric mantle are both anisotropic and laterally heterogeneous at a range of scales. To fully exploit modern three-component broad-band array data sets requires the use of comprehensive modelling tools. In this work, we investigate the use of a wide-angle, one-way wave equa...

Frequency-dependent reflection coefficients of P waves at the inner core boundary (ICB) are estimated from the spectral ratios of PKiKP and PcP waves observed by the high-sensitivity seismograph network (Hi-net) in Japan. The corresponding PKiKP reflection locations at the ICB are distributed beneath the western Pacific. At frequencies where noise levels are sufficiently low, spectra of reflect...

background : in many jobs, individuals are exposed to thermal stress, and thus, evaluation of heat stress is necessary. this study was conducted with the purpose of investigating the relationship of perceptual strain index (pesi) with other heat indexes under hot laboratory conditions. methods: this empirical-experimental and cross-sectional study was performed in 5 different temperatures (21 º...

stressful life events may play an important role in coronary heart disease and sudden cardiac death. this study was performed to compare the frequency of stressful events and mental strain in patients with acute myocardial infarction (mi) and normal population. a case-control study was performed on 50 survivors of mi and 50 controls with no evidence of cardiovascular disease, matched by age, ge...

Abstract The installation of dense seismometer arrays in Japan approximately 20 years ago has led to the discovery deep low-frequency tremors, which are oscillations clearly different from ordinary earthquakes. As such tremors may be related large earthquakes, it is an important issue seismology investigate that occurred before establishing arrays. We use learning aiming detect evidence past se...

Background. The responsive element of the GNU-KV Russian gravimeter comprises a Golitsyn lowfrequency vertical seismograph, which outperforms modern industrial SM-3KV seismographs in terms sensitivity to ground vibrations. A team geophysicists at Sergo Ordzhonikidze State University for Geological Prospecting modified construction adapt this device work mode portable seismological station recor...
