Drill‐bit seismic interferometry with and without pilot signals*     

Flavio Poletto  Piero Corubolo  Paolo Comelli 《Geophysical Prospecting》2010,58(2):257-265

We use different interferometry approaches to process the seismic signals generated by a drill‐bit source in one well and recorded by seismic receivers located both in a second borehole and at the surface near the source well. We compare the standard interferometry results, obtained by using the raw drill‐bit data without a pilot signal, with the new interferometry results obtained by using the drill‐bit seismograms correlated with a reference pilot signal. The analysis of the stationary phase shows that the final results have different S/N levels and are affected by the coherent noise in the form of rig arrivals. The interferometry methods are compared by using different deconvolution approaches. The analysis shows that the results agree with the conventional drill‐bit seismograms and that using the reference pilot signal improves the quality of the drill‐bit wavefields redatumed by the interferometry method.  相似文献   

Earthquake early warning feasibility in the Campania region (southern Italy) and demonstration system for public school buildings

We present the results of a feasibility study of an earthquake early warning system (EEWS) for the Campania region (southern Italy) using schools as specific targets. The study considered the seismogenic zones as sources of potential earthquakes for the area, the Italian accelerometric network as the recording network for seismic event occurrence, and the performances of the software platform PRESTo ^Plus for data analysis and processing. We analyze the distribution of lead-times for all possible threatening seismic sources for each municipality in the region under study by extracting the lead-time value corresponding to the 5th, 10th and 25th percentiles of the distributions. We discuss the results for the 5th percentile in order to analyze the worst-case scenario: in the case of a single site, the lead-time is expected to be larger than this value in the 95 % of the cases. Since the population distribution in Campania is uneven and most of the people live nearby the coast, whilst the most destructive earthquakes occur along the Apennine chain, we can conclude that an efficient EEWS can allow most of the schools in the area to undertake some mitigating actions. The testing of the EEWS was carried out in the high school ITIS ‘E. Majorana’, located at Somma Vesuviana, about 80 km from the seismogenic Irpinia region. For this purpose, the Sentinel, an actuator made up of low-cost hardware (i.e., Arduino^®), was developed in close cooperation with students and teachers of the school to receive alert messages from the PRESTo ^Plus platform and warn the school users in case of a seismic event. The EEWS and the Sentinel were successfully tested during some blind drills performed during normal school activities.  相似文献

A spectrographic study of R Canis Majoris     

Piero Galeotti 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1970,7(1):87-92

New spectroscopic elements of R Canis Majoris are given in this paper, computed from 17 plates secured at the Astronomical Observatory of Merate. A new orbit has also been computed with the program by Bertiau, from 81 observations covering a period of about 40 years.Two models of this binary system are proposed, based on two different assumptions and on a newly determined mass function. It is confirmed that the main peculiarity of this binary with regard to the mass-luminosity relation is real; there is also an evidence of mass loss from the Lagrangian pointL ₂ as suggested by Kitamura.A suspected variation of the velocityV ₀ of the center of mass seems to indicate the presence of a third body. The evidnece is, however, not yet conclusive.  相似文献   

Petrology of potassic alkaline ultramafic and carbonatitic rocks from Planalto da Serra (Mato Grosso State), Brazil     

Piero Comin-Chiaramonti  Celso B. Gomes  Angelo De Min  Excelso Ruberti  Vicente A. V. Girardi  Francesca Slejko  Renato D. Neder  Francisco E. C. Pinho 《Central European Journal of Geosciences》2014,6(4):565-587

The Planalto da Serra igneous rocks form plugs, necks and dykes of carbonate-rich ultramafic lamprophyres (aillikites and glimmerites with kamafugitic affinity) and carbonatites (alvikites and beforsites). Phlogopite and/or tetraphlogopite, diopside and melanitic garnet are restricted to aillikitic rock-types, whereas pyroclore occurs only in carbonatites. Aillikites and carbonatites are altered to hydrotermalites, having chlorite and serpentine as dominant minerals. Planalto da Serra igneous rock association has kamafugitic affinity (i.e. effusive, ultrapotassic. High LREE/HREE fractionation, incompatible elements data and Sr-Nd isotopes, suggest that the K-ultramafic alkaline and carbonatite rocks originated from a variably metasomatized mantle source enriched in radiogenic Sr. Crustal contamination is negligible or absent. Age values of 600 Ma rule out the geochronological relationship between the investigated intrusions and the Mesozoic alkaline bodies from the Azimuth 125° lineament. The TDM model ages allow to conclude that Planalto da Serra magma is derived from the partial melting of a mantle source metasomatised by K-rich carbonatated melt during the Early to Late Neoproterozoic. On the basis of alkaline magmatism repetitions at 600 Ma and 90–80 Ma we question the subsistence of a stationary mantle plume for so long time.  相似文献   

The lightcurve of nova cygni 1975 (V 1500 Cyg) from the outburst to July 1977     

Piero Tempesti 《Astronomische Nachrichten》1979,300(1):51-55

On the basis of photoelectric observations performed at the Teramo Observatory, the V lightcurve of Nova Cygni 1975 from August 1975 to July 1977 is given. Since three days after maximum thereafter, the decline pursued smoothly according the law V = 2.5 + 3.9 lg t, and 680 days after maximum the star had weakened by 12.5 mag. The well-known shortperiod light variation, which at the time of the early decline showed an amplitude smaller than 0.2 mag in V light, on December 13, 1976, displayed an amplitude as high as 0.5 mag.  相似文献
