Microearthquake seismicity and fault-plane solutions in the southern Aegean and its geodynanic implications     

Denis Hatzfeld  Marc Besnard  K. Makropoulos  P. Hatzidimitriou 《Geophysical Journal International》1993,115(3):799-818

Seismicity ( Ml <3.5) in the southern Aegean, located using data collected during seven weeks of recording by a temporary network of seismological stations, largely follows the Hellenic arc; the Sea of Crete is nearly aseismic, and only little activity is located south of the Hellenic trench, within the African plate. Focal mechanisms exhibit reverse faulting in the external part of the arc and normal faulting inside it. This normal faulting indicates N-S extension in the northern Aegean, the Gulf of Corinth, the Cyclades and Dodecanese Islands, but NW-SE extension in southern Peloponnese and western Crete and E-W extension in eastern Crete. This non-uniform strain pattern suggests that the Aegean region not only extends in a N-S sense, with the Hellenic arc moving south-westward relative to the Eurasian plate, but also by E-W extension of its southern margin, so that there is a net divergence of material.  相似文献   

A factorial analysis of Mediterranean precipitation     

Panagiotis Maheras 《Meteorology and Atmospheric Physics》1985,36(1):1-14

Summary Principal Components Analysis of 80 stations dispersed all over the Mediterranean (coastal and of low altitude) and 12 mean monthly amounts of precipitation collected at these stations is discussed. A natural interpretation of the first 4 components is given, followed by an application of the technique of classification according to ascending hierarchy on the matrixA ₁ =I×J ₁ , whereJ ₁ = 4 (the first four components of the previous analysis). Homogeneous groups (classes) of stations are formed (4 classes and 8 sub-classes), which are also described. A discussion follows concerning the influence of atmospheric meridional circulation on the surface and the upper layers, as well as that of geographic factors on the distribution and annual variability of precipitation over the Mediterranean.

Eine Faktorenanalyse des Niederschlags im Mittelmeergebiet

Zusammenfassung Es wird eine Anwendung der Komponentenanalyse auf eine DatenmatrixA =I×J vor geschlagen, wobeiI über 80 Stationen verteilt im ganzen Mittelmeergebiet (Küsten stationen in geringer Seehöhe) varüert undJ die 12 mittleren monatlichen Niederschlagssummen dieser Stationen sind. Es wird eine natürliche Interpretation der ersten 4 Komponenten gegeben, gefolgt von einer Anwendung der Klassifikationstechnik der aufsteigenden Hierarchie auf die MatrixA _I =I×J ₁ , woJ ₁ = 4 (die ersten 4 Komponenten der vorhergehenden Analyse). Homogene Gruppen (Klassen) von Stationen werden gebildet (4 Klassen und 8 Unterklassen) und beschrieben. Es folgt eine Diskussion des Einflusses der meridionalen atmosphärischen Zirkulation auf die Oberflächen- und darübergelegenen Schichten, sowie des Einflusses geographischer Faktoren auf die Verteilung und den Jahresgang des Niederschlags im Mittelmeergebiet.

Cryptosporidium and Giardia in Natural,Drinking, and Recreational Water of Northwestern Greece     

Panagiotis Karanis  Chrysanthi Papadopoulou  Akio Kimura  Evagelos Economou  Christina Kourenti  Heracles Sakkas 《洁净——土壤、空气、水》2002,30(1):49-58

An investigation about distribution of Giardia cysts and Cryptosporidium oocysts in natural, drinking, and recreational water in Northwestern Greece was performed. Five rivers (Aoos, Arachthos, Kalamas, Louros, and Voidomatis) and one lake (Pamvotis Ioannina Lake) in Northwestern Greece were investigated during a 10‐month period. Drinking and recreational water (swimming pools) from the area were also examined. Samples were collected from prefixed sampling stations and processed following a modification of standard methods for the microbiological examination of water, as suggested by the APHA/AWWA/WEF. Both Giardia cysts and Cryptosporidium oocysts were isolated from Pamvotis Ioannina Lake (15 positive/27 examined samples). Significantly lower numbers of Cryptosporidium oocysts were detected in Arachthos River (1/5), Voidomatis River (1/5), drinking water (1/7), and pool water samples (1/9). No Giardia cysts were detected, neither in river water, nor in drinking, and pool water samples. The results clearly show that, with the exception of Pamvotis Ioannina Lake, where contamination of high level was observed, natural water sources of the investigated area have low pollution, resulting in low contamination with parasites.  相似文献   

Supersoft sources in M31: Comparing the XMM‐Newton deep survey,ROSAT and Chandra catalogues     

H. Stiele  W. Pietsch  F. Haberl  V. Burwitz  D. Hatzidimitriou  J. Greiner 《Astronomische Nachrichten》2010,331(2):212-217

To investigate the transient nature of supersoft sources (SSSs) in M 31, we compared SSS candidates ofthe XMM‐Newton Deep Survey, ROSAT PSPC surveys and the Chandra catalogues in the same field. We found 40 SSSs in the XMM‐Newton observations. While 12 of the XMM‐Newton sources were brighter than the limiting flux of the ROSAT PSPC survey, only two were detected with ROSAT ∼10 yr earlier. Five correlate with recent optical novae which explains why they were not detected by ROSAT. The remaining 28 XMM‐Newton SSSs have fluxes below the ROSAT detection threshold. Nevertheless we found one correlation with a ROSAT source, which had significantly larger fluxes than during the XMM‐Newton observations. Ten of the XMM‐Newton SSSs were detected by Chandra with <1– ∼6yr between the observations. Five were also classified as SSSs by Chandra. Of the 30 ROSAT SSSs three were confirmed with XMM‐Newton, while for 11 sources other classifications are suggested. Of the remaining 16 sources one correlates with an optical nova. Of the 42 Chandra very‐soft sources five are classified as XMM‐Newton SSSs, while for 22 we suggest other classifications. Of the remaining 15 sources, nine are classified as transient by Chandra, one of them correlates with an optical nova. These findings underlined the high variability of the sources of this class and the connection between SSSs and optical novae. Only three sources, were detected by all three missions as SSSs. Thus they are visible for more than a decade, despite their variability (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)  相似文献   

Climatological aspects of extreme precipitation in Europe, related to mid-latitude cyclonic systems     

Athanasios F. Karagiannidis  Theodore Karacostas  Panagiotis Maheras  Timoleon Makrogiannis 《Theoretical and Applied Climatology》2012,107(1-2):165-174

Climatic aspects of extreme European precipitation are studied. Daily pluviometric data from 280 stations across Europe, covering the period from 1958 to 2000, are used. First, the criteria for extreme precipitation cases and episodes are communicated using threshold and spatial definitions. The cases and episodes meeting these criteria are grouped according to their area of appearance. Most of them are located in three major areas: Greece, the Alps, and the Iberian Peninsula. The existence of trends in the annual and seasonal time series of these extreme events is examined. Decreasing trends are found in most of the cases, for Greece, the Iberian Peninsula, and Europe, as a whole. The Alps present a different behavior, with no trend at all in the southern part, and a possible increasing trend in the northern part. Finally, the positive impact of altitude in the frequency of occurrence of extreme precipitation episodes in Europe is discussed.  相似文献

Evaluation and suggestions for improvement of seismic design procedures for R/C walls in dual systems     

Andreas J. Kappos  Panagiotis S. Antoniadis 《地震工程与结构动力学》2011,40(1):35-53

This paper aims to shed some further light on the seismic behaviour and design of reinforced concrete (R/C) walls which form part of dual (frame + wall) structures. The significance of post‐elastic dynamic effects is recognized by most seismic codes in the definition of the design action effects on walls, i.e. bending moments and shear forces. However, the resulting envelopes are not always fully satisfactory, particularly in the case of medium‐to‐high‐rise buildings. The relevant provisions of modern seismic codes are first summarized and their limitations discussed. Then an extensive parametric study is presented which involves typical multi‐storey dual systems that include walls with unequal lengths, designed according to the provisions of Eurocode 8 for two different ductility classes (M and H) and two effective peak ground acceleration levels (0.16 and 0.24g). The walls of these structures are also designed according to other methods, such as those used in New Zealand and Greece. The resulting different designs are then assessed by subjecting the structures to a suite of records from strong ground motions, carrying out inelastic time history analysis, and comparing the results with the design action effects. It is found that for (at least) the design earthquake intensity, the first two modes of vibration suffice for describing the seismic response of the walls. The bending moment envelope, as well as the base shear of each wall, is found to be strongly dependent on the second mode effect. As far as the code‐prescribed design action effects are concerned, only the NZ Code was found to be consistently conservative, whereas this was not always the case with EC8. A new method is then proposed which focuses on quantifying in a simple way the second mode effects in the inelastic response of the walls. This procedure seems to work better than the others evaluated herein. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献   

Microcracks in ultrabasic rocks under uniaxial compressive stress     

Ioannis Rigopoulos  Basilios Tsikouras  Panagiotis Pomonis  Konstantin Hatzipanagiotou 《Engineering Geology》2011,117(1-2):104-113

The initiation and propagation of microcracks under stress are highly dependent upon the mineralogical and textural characteristics of the various lithotypes. Detailed observation and quantification of microcracks before and after uniaxial compression test were conducted. A fresh olivine-rich harzburgite and a serpentinized dunite were analyzed, collected from the Pindos and Vourinos ophiolites (northern Greece) respectively, in order to compare their microcrack patterns. Quantitative analysis indicated that during uniaxial compression the intragranular microcracks, which are the dominating crack-type, are gradually transformed or organized into transgranular cracks. Some of the newly formed transgranular cracks may also be a result of the growth of existing grain-boundary cracks. The new intragranular microcracks in the olivine-rich harzburgite are oriented predominantly parallel to the compressive stress direction, while those in the serpentinized dunite show a scattered orientation presumably due to the mesh texture of this rock-type. The new transgranular cracks of both peridotites tend to be subparallel to the compressive stress direction, however, many of them show a random orientation due to the fact that they have been formed as a result of the propagation of grain-boundary cracks. The occurrence of the soft serpentine along fracture surfaces of olivine, when it is in assemblage with orthopyroxene, tends to absorb the applied stress hampering the development of microcracks in olivine. On the other hand in serpentinized peridotites, the microcracks are enhanced in olivine because it is surrounded by large amounts of the much softer and flexible serpentine. Microcracks are usually formed along the cleavage planes of orthopyroxene porphyroclasts, indicating that such crystallographic preferred orientations act as planes of weakness, controlling the direction of the crack paths. Cr-spinel grains likely comprise locations of initiation of microcracks due to their very hard nature and different mechanical behaviour relative to the surrounding silicate phases. Knowledge of the mineralogical and textural characteristics may assist in the prediction of potential development of failure surfaces of an ultrabasic rock in-service.  相似文献   

A cervelleite-like mineral and other Ag-Cu-Te-S minerals [Ag2CuTeS and (Ag,Cu)2TeS] in gold-bearing veins in metamorphic rocks of the Cycladic Blueschist Unit, Kallianou, Evia Island, Greece     

Panagiotis Christos Voudouris  Paul G. Spry  Gregory Aarne Sakellaris  Constantinos Mavrogonatos 《Mineralogy and Petrology》2011,101(3-4):169-183

A cervelleite-like mineral, two unnamed silver sulfotellurides in the system Ag-Cu-Te-S [Ag₂CuTeS, (Ag,Cu)₂TeS], Te-rich polybasite and cadmian tetrahedrite occur in gold-bearing quartz veins in metapelites and faults within brecciated marbles of the Cycladic Blueschist Unit in the Kallianou area (southern Evia Island, Greece). The quartz veins and faults are discordant to syn-metamorphic structures and formed during ductile to brittle deformation in the final stages of exhumation of the Styra Nappe extrusion wedge (~21?Ma). Te-rich polybasite (up to 7.4 wt. % Te), cadmian tetrahedrite (up to 12.4 wt. % Cd), together with electrum (23?C54 wt. % Ag) and the sulfotellurides, are the main silver carriers in the mineralization. The two unnamed sulfotellurides, Ag₂CuTeS and (Ag,Cu)₂TeS are believed to be new quaternary minerals in the system Ag-Cu-Te-S. These minerals and the cervelleite-like phase could have exsolved from galena during cooling (below 200°C). Initial temperatures for the formation of the sulfotellurides, in the form of hessite-intermediate solid solution, at Kallianou may be up to 300°C under logfS₂ values between?~ ?11.5 to ?8.3, and logfTe₂ from?~ ?14.8 to ?7.8. The values of logfTe₂ and logfS₂ during re-equilibration (at ~200°C) were constrained to ?19.5 to ?15.2 and to ?15.8 to ?11.5 respectively.  相似文献
