An estimate of probabilistic seismic hazard for five cities in Greece by using the parametric-historic procedure     

Pivi Mntyniemi  Theodoros M. Tsapanos  Andrzej Kijko 《Engineering Geology》2004,72(3-4):217-231

A probabilistic procedure was applied to assess seismic hazard for the sites of five Greek cities (Athens, Heraklion, Patras, Thessaloniki and Volos) using peak ground acceleration as the hazard parameter. The methodology allows the use of either historical or instrumental data, or a combination of both. It has been developed specifically for the estimation of seismic hazard at a given site and does not require any specification of seismic sources or/and seismic zones. A new relation for the attenuation of peak ground acceleration was employed for the shallow seismicity in Greece. The computations involved the area- and site-specific parts. When assessing magnitude recurrence for the areas surrounding the five cities, the maximum magnitude, m_max, was estimated using a recently derived equation. The site-specific results were expressed as probabilities that a given peak ground acceleration value will be exceeded at least once during a time interval of 1, 50 and 100 years at the sites of the cities. They were based on the maximum peak ground acceleration values computed by assuming the occurrence of the strongest possible earthquake (of magnitude m_max) at a very short distance from the site and using the mean value obtained with the help of the attenuation law. This gave 0.24 g for Athens, 0.53 g for Heraklion (shallow) and 0.39 g Heraklion (intermediate-depth seismicity), 0.30 g for Patras, 0.35 g for Thessaloniki and 0.30 g for Volos. In addition, the probabilities of exceedance of the estimated maximum peak ground acceleration values were calculated for the sites. The standard deviation of the new Greek attenuation law demonstrates the uncertainty and large variation of predicted peak ground acceleration values.  相似文献   

b-Values of two tectonic parts in the circum-pacific belt   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Theodoros M. Tsapanos 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》1990,134(2):229-242

Two different data sets have been applied to compute theb-parameter of the magnitude-frequency relation for two different areas in the circum-Pacific belt. These areas are: a) South America, Middle America and Mexico, b) all the remaining island arcs of the circum-Pacific belt, starting from Alaska and the Aleutian islands and proceeding southeastwards. The first data set spreads over 77 years, while the second one covers a 90-year period. In both cases the results clearly showed that theb-values are lower in the first of the above-mentioned areas, while respectively higher in the second. This is due to the tectonic conditions in these areas as estimated during the present work.  相似文献   

Mineral formation in an acid pit lake from a high-sulfidation ore deposit: Kirki, NE Greece     

S. Triantafyllidis  N. Skarpelis   《Journal of Geochemical Exploration》2006,88(1-3):68

Open pit mining of base-metals from the high-sulfidation epithermal type deposit of Kirki (Thrace, NE Greece) resulted in the formation of an acid pit lake by infilling of the open cast by rain and draining waters after mine closure. The high toxic metals content of the ore, the limited buffering capacity of host rocks and the direct exposure of the ore zone to weathering result in an intense release of metals into the pit lake. The acidic and oxidative pit lake waters show high concentrations of trace metals. A mineral precipitate, covering the floor of the pit lake, comprises secondary anglesite, several species of the jarosite-group, rozenite, melanterite, wroewolfeite, gypsum, bukovskyite, beaverite, scorodite and minor goethite. The mineral precipitate presents a significant heavy metal content indicating effective removal of metals from the acid waters. Compared to other pit lakes in high-sulfidation type deposits it has a higher metal load, consistent with the mineralogy and grade of ore in pit walls.  相似文献   

Dimensional response analysis of yielding structures with first‐mode dominated response     

Nicos Makris  Theodoros Psychogios 《地震工程与结构动力学》2006,35(10):1203-1224

This paper introduces a new way of estimating the inelastic response of first‐mode dominated structures with behaviour that can be approximated with the elastoplastic idealization. The proposed approach emerges from formal dimensional analysis and is liberated from the response of the elastic system. The application of the proposed method hinges upon the existence of a distinct time scale and a length scale that characterize the most energetic component of the ground shaking. Such time and length scales emerge naturally from the distinguishable pulses which dominate a wide class of strong earthquake records; they are directly related with the rise time and slip velocity of faulting, and can be formally extracted with validated mathematical models published in the literature. The most decisive feature of this work is that the inelastic response curves that result with the proposed approach assume similar shapes for different values of the normalized yield displacement. Because of this similarity the paper proposes a single inelastic response curve which offers directly the maximum inelastic displacement of the structure given the energetic pulse period and pulse amplitude of the ground shaking. When the proposed method is applied to MDOF structures it is not capable to estimate interstorey drifts nor is capable to capture the effects of negative stiffness which may result due to P‐delta effect.

Intrusion of shoshonitic magmas at shallow crustal depth: <Emphasis Type="Italic">T</Emphasis>–<Emphasis Type="Italic">P</Emphasis> path,H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O estimates,and AFC modeling of the Middle Triassic Predazzo Intrusive Complex (Southern Alps,Italy)     

Federico?CasettaEmail author  Massimo?Coltorti  Ryan?B.?Ickert  Costanza?Bonadiman  Pier?Paolo?Giacomoni  Theodoros?Ntaflos 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》2018,173(7):57

The multi-pulse shoshonitic Predazzo intrusive complex represents an ideal igneous laboratory for investigating the chemical and physical conditions of magma emplacement in a crustal context, since numerical models can be constrained by field evidence. It constitutes the most intriguing remnant of the Middle Triassic magmatic systems of the Dolomitic Area (Southern Alps), preserved by the Alpine tectonics. Predazzo Intrusive Complex comprises silica saturated (pyroxenites/gabbros to syenites), silica undersaturated (gabbros to syenites), and silica oversaturated (granites and syenogranites) rock suites. In this paper, we modeled its emplacement and evolution with a multiple thermo-/oxy-barometric, hygrometric, and EC-AFC approach. At odds with what proposed in literature but according to the field evidence, the emplacement of the Predazzo Intrusive Complex occurred at shallow depth (<?6 km). In this context, the different pulses differed slightly in bulk water content, but shared a common thermal regime, with temperatures between 1000 and 1100 °C and ~?600 °C at low-to-moderate oxidizing conditions (? 0.1 to +?0.7 ΔFMQ). The interaction between the intrusion and the shallow crustal rocks was minimal, with Sr and Nd isotopic compositions indicating an average of 5–6% assimilation of crust. A thermo- and oxy-barometric comparison with the nearby Mt. Monzoni also enabled to speculate about the solidification time of the intrusion, which we infer took place over about 700 ka.  相似文献   

Clinopyroxene megacrysts from Enmelen melanephelinitic volcanoes (Chukchi Peninsula,Russia): application to composition and evolution of mantle melts     

Vyacheslav?V.?AkininEmail author  Alexander?V.?Sobolev  Theodoros?Ntaflos  Wolfram.?Richter 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》2005,150(1):85-101

Clinopyroxene megacrysts from young melanephelinitic lavas were divided into Cr-rich and Cr-poor suites. Sr, Nd, and Pb isotopic ratios of leached megacrysts and host lava are indistinguishable from each other and indicate a depleted source. Host lavas do not display chemical evidence for significant fractional crystallization, which is required to explain the compositional range of the megacrysts. This rules out a simple cognate genetic relationship between the two, and strictly defines megacrysts as xenocrysts. The well-defined correlations of trace elements with the Mg-numbers in the megacrysts are interpreted as the result of extensive fractional/equilibrium crystallization of magma over a large temperature range at near isobaric condition in the upper mantle. Trace element variations in megacrysts are consistent with fractional crystallization of clinopyroxene alone for the Cr-rich suite, and clinopyroxene + garnet for the Cr-poor suite from at least two bathes of related melts. Megacrysts parent magma might represent mantle melts, which were never erupted in their initial composition.  相似文献   

Horse mackerel egg identification using DNA methodology

Egg identification in plankton samples is usually needed for purposes of stock assessment. Until recently, only morphological characters were used for identifying the eggs of different fish species. Late developmental stages are easily distinguishable due to pigmentation as well as egg and oil globule size range. However, for early stages, these characteristics are difficult to be discriminated and may overlap with other species. European horse mackerel species (Trachurus trachurus, T. mediterraneus, T. picturatus) overlap significantly in their spawning areas in some European waters. Because of the fact that their eggs are morphologically similar, genetic methodologies are needed to identify eggs and larvae to species correctly. In the present study, formalin‐ and ethanol‐preserved eggs were tested to estimate the efficacy of genetic methodologies for species identification of eggs when different preservatives are used. A 370‐bp fragment of cytochrome b was successfully amplified followed by restriction fragment analysis with two restriction enzymes aiming to identify the eggs to species. Horse mackerel egg identification was accomplished with the maximum success in ethanol‐preserved eggs. However, it seems that various preservatives had different effects on the DNA quality of eggs as genetic identification was less successful in formalin‐preserved eggs. Preserving in ethanol a part of the eggs obtained in plankton surveys is suggested for purposes of accurate genetic identification, even if their morphological features are distorted in time.  相似文献
