earthquakes show unknown nonlinear behavior and given the magnitude of the earthquake, we would encounter certain changes in lithosphere, atmosphere and ionosphere. the ionospheric parameters have been found to be sorely susceptible to major earthquakes. in addition to the ionospheric variations generated by solar activity, there are remarkable temporary changes in the ionosphere that are gener...

the least squares harmonic estimation is applied to the hourly time-series of total electron contents (tec) derived from ionospheric models using seven years of gps observations processed by bernese software. the frequencies of dominant spectral components in the spectrum are estimated. we observe significant periodic patterns with periods of 24 h and its fractions 24h/n, n=2,…,11, which are th...

It is well known that tsunamis can produce gravity waves that propagate up to the ionosphere generating disturbed electron densities in the E and F regions. These ionospheric disturbances can be studied in detail using ionospheric total electron content (TEC) measurements collected by continuously operating ground-based receivers from the Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). Here, we pre...

Knowledge of the polar ionospheric total electron content (TEC) and its future variations is of scientific and engineering relevance. In this study, a new method is developed to predict Arctic mean TEC on the scale of a solar cycle using previous data covering 14 years. The Arctic TEC is derived from global positioning system measurements using the spherical cap harmonic analysis mapping method...

[1] Using Global Positioning System (GPS) data from sites near the 16 Oct. 1999 Hector Mine, California earthquake, Pulinets et al. (2007) identified anomalous changes in the ionospheric total electron content (TEC) starting one week prior to the earthquake. Pulinets (2007) suggested that precursory phenomena of this type could be useful for predicting earthquakes. On the other hand, and in a s...

Time Expansion Chamber (TEC) will perform both particle identi cation and tracking functions in the PHENIX experiment. For the evaluation of the TEC performance, optimization of tracking and particle identi cation algorithms, and early development of o -line analysis software, detailed simulations are necessary. A Slow Simulator for PHENIX TEC (TECSS) was created for this purpose. The Simulator...

The performance of a supply chain can be evaluated in either a cross-sectional or a time series manner, and data envelopment analysis is a useful method for both types of evaluation. In this paper we develop an index and indicator of productivity change that can be used with radial and non-radial models for supply chain malmquist index. The supply chain malmquist productivity index (SCMPI) can ...
