In this work, we test the analysis of anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) for the study of diapirs in the Naval salt wall that is located in the western end of the South Pyrenean Central Unit. Two hundred eighty-six specimens from 30 sites were sampled in the mobilized Middle-Upper Triassic evaporites and shales that constitute the core of this diapir. Resulting magnetic ellipsoids are …

Geodetic vertical velocities derived from data as short as 3 yr are often assumed to be representative of linear deformation over past decades to millennia. We use two decades of surface loading deformation predictions due to variations of atmospheric, oceanic and continental water mass to assess the effect on secular velocities estimated from short timeseries. The interannual deformation is t…

We show that precision measurement of (1) the sum of neutrino masses by cosmological observation and (2) the lifetime of neutrinoless double beta decay in ton-scale experiments, with supplementary use of (3) effective mass measured in a single beta decay experiment, would allow us to obtain information on the Majorana phase of neutrinos. To quantify the sensitivity to the phase, we use the CP …

We classify bions in the Grassmann GrNF,NC sigma model (including the CPNF−1 model) on R1 × S1 with twisted boundary conditions. We formulate these models as U  NC  gauge theories with NF flavors in the fundamental representations. These theories can be promoted to supersymmetric gauge theories and, further, can be embedded into D-brane configurations in type-II superstring theories. …

We critically examine the performance of sequential geostatistical resampling (SGR) as a model proposal mechanism for Bayesian Markov-chain-Monte-Carlo (MCMC) solutions to near-surface geophysical inverse problems. Focusing on a series of simple yet realistic synthetic crosshole georadar tomographic examples characterized by different numbers of data, levels of data error and degrees of model …

On 14 January 2014, the Bundesverfassungsgericht (German Contitutional Court in Karlsruhe hereafter Karlsruhe) ruled on the European Central Bank�s (ECB) Outright Monetary Transaction (OMT) programme. This ruling has prompted fierce debate among lawyers and economists for a number of reasons. First of all, the OMT programme concerned the very short-term survival of the euro. Secondly, i…

We develop an algorithm for automatic identification of fault zone trapped waves in data recorded by seismic fault zone arrays. Automatic S picks are used to identify time windows in the seismograms for subsequent search for trapped waves. The algorithm calculates five features in each seismogram recorded by each station: predominant period, 1 s duration energy (representative of trapped waves)…

We present a simple, fast, and robust method for automatic detection of P- and S-wave arrivals using a nearest neighbours-based approach. The nearest neighbour algorithm is one of the most popular time-series classification methods in the data mining community and has been applied to time-series problems in many different domains. Specifically, our method is based on the non-parametric time-ser…
