The radiation patterns of Love and Rayleigh waves from three nuclear explosions (Hardhat, Haymaker, and Shoal) are studied to determine the nature of the asymmetry of radiation and the mechanism of Love wave generation. From a comparative study of different explosions it is reasoned that the Love waves are generated at the source of the explosion. The source function, represented as the superim...

S U M M A R Y We develop a method to obtain confidence intervals of earthquake source parameters, such as stress drop, seismic moment and corner frequency, from single station measurements. We use the idea of jackknife variance combined with a multitaper spectrum estimation to obtain the confidence regions. The approximately independent spectral estimates provide an ideal case to perform jackkn...

Voice source parameters can be estimated by fitting a voice source model to the glottal flow signal which is obtained by means of inverse filtering. In this pap er we investigate the behaviour of the LF-model in a numb er of non-linear parameter estimation procedures. It is concluded that (1) the parameter estimates are robust against additive (white and narrow band) noise in the flow waveforms...

A spectral approach is proposed for voice source parameters representation and estimation. Parameter estimation is based on decomposition of the periodic and the aperiodic components of the speech signal, and on spectral modelling of the periodic component. The paper focusses on parameters estimation for the periodic component of the glottal ow. A new anticausal all-pole model of the glottal ow...
