An hourly scale precursor of inland earthquakes (EQs) is revealed in this paper. Several EQ cases China have been reported. As indicated by a table listing 23 EQs and their shock time, epicenter location, magnitude, near-epicenter weather conditions, start time duration, when the conditions are fair near epicenter, an anomalously negative atmospheric electrostatic signal readily observable appr...

This article explores models of causality of the physical universe which extend beyond the usual quantum and classical descriptions. To facilitate discussion of this topic, a brief review of relevant areas of modern physics is included. Although mathematical logic is not directed in time, the causal description of the physical universe is classically performed in terms of temporal determinism ,...

In this paper a metrological assessment on the accuracy provided by a Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR)based method for the estimation of moisture content of granular materials is proposed. In particular, comparative moisture content measurements are carried out through two different TDR instruments: an inexpensive portable unit and a high-performance unit. The main goals are first to assess a ro...
