Source inversion of the 1987 Whittier Narrows earthquake, California, using the isochron method
Authors: Zeng Yuehua , Aki Keiiti , Teng Ta-Liang
Published: September 2021

We determine the earthquake source process from an isochron synthetic method and the recursive stochastic inverse algorithm. Using the strong-motion records from 16 stations within 15 km of the epicenter, we determined the earthquake slip and rupture time distribution on the fault with different fault geometries for the Whittier Narrows earthquake. In our study, we have chosen two best-fit fault geometries, with strike direction and dip angle of 270° and 35°, and 280° and 30°, respectively.

The inversion results indicated dominantly two regions of slip on the fault plane for the Whittier Narrows mainshock, one located immediately below the hypocenter and the other near the lower east corner of the fault. In addition, there are three or four other smaller localized source areas near the hypocenter. Together, they indicate a highly heterogeneous fault slip distribution for the Whittier Narrows mainshock. The great majority of seismic moment release occurs in a 10 by 4 km region, which is consistent with the geodetic modeling results. The inversion result for the model allowing variable slip and rupture time model gave the best fit in terms of both the Euclidean norm and the weighted Euclidean norm, suggesting that the rupture velocity may be not constant. But we find no simple causal relation between these rupture velocity variations and the slip amplitude distributions. On the other hand, by comparing the mainshock slip pattern of our inversion results with the early aftershock, we found that the aftershocks tend to occur over patches on the rupture surface deficient in mainshock slip. This observation can be well explained by the barrier model of fault heterogeneity.
Seismic hazard induced by mechanically interactive fault segments
Authors: Allin Cornell C. , Wu Shen-Chyun , Winterstein Steven R. , Dieterich James H. , Simpson Robert W.
Published: September 2021

This paper presents a phenomenological stochastic model for earthquake recurrence processes involving physical interaction among fault segments. Slip on one segment may reduce (or increase) the time to the next event on another segment or possibly induce an immediate slip on that segment as well. The gross behavior of this model is first observed through simulations; temporal and spatial disorder are observed even when the stochastic aspects are minimized.

To estimate the strength of these interactions, we derive factors from the output of three-dimensional elastic dislocation analyses, relating induced stress changes to temporal changes in next-event dates.

In a final section, we derive approximate analytical expressions and numerical results for future probabilistic earthquake risk and site hazard, conditional on the elapsed times since events on all relevant fault segments and on the number of events since that may have caused stress changes (interactions).
Methods for regression analysis of strong-motion data
Authors: Joyner William B. , Boore David M.
Published: September 2021

We introduce a new computational method for implementing Brillinger and Preisler's (1984, 1985) one-stage maximum-likelihood analysis of strong-motion data. We also reexamine two-stage methods and agree with Masuda and Ohtake (1992) that rigorous analysis requires off-diagonal terms in the weighting matrix for the second-stage regression but note that Masuda and Ohtake failed to account for the earthquake-to-earthquake component of variance. Analysis by Monte Carlo methods shows that both one-stage and two-stage methods, properly applied, are unbiased and that they have comparable uncertainties. Both give the same correct results when applied to the data that Fukushima and Tanaka (1990) have shown cannot be satisfactorily analyzed by ordinary least squares. The two-stage method is more efficient computationally, but for typical problems neither method requires enough time to make efficiency important. Of the two methods, only the two-stage method can readily be used with the techniques described by Toro (1981) and McLaughlin (1991) for overcoming the bias due to instruments that do not trigger.
On Cagniard's problem for a qSH line source in transversely isotropic media
Authors: H. T. Le Lawrence
Published: September 2021

This paper studies the response to a qSH pulse generated by a line source, of two homogeneous half-spaces (transversely isotropic elastic or viscoelastic) separated by a plane boundary.

For a simple model of two transversely isotropic half-spaces in welded contact, all the arrivals, including the incident, reflected, head, transmitted, and evanescent waves, that are predicted by the isotropic theory are present. For the 15% change in wave speeds considered here, anisotropy changes the dynamic and kinematic characteristics of the pulses. Depending on the anisotropy factor, the change can be pronounced. Because of the significant time shift and amplitude variation of the first arrivals due to anisotropy, proper consideration of the anisotropy of the medium is necessary in interpreting vertical seismic profiles or crosshole seismic data by means of any travel time or amplitude tomographic scheme.
Maximizing the signal-to-noise ratio of the electromagnetic seismometer: The optimum coil resistance, amplifier characteristics, and circuit
Authors: Rodgers Peter W.
Published: September 2021

This study finds the optimum coil resistance, rc.opt, which maximizes the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of an electromagnetic (EM) seismometer and amplifier combination. The optimum coil resistance is shown to be the product of a seismometer factor (SF) times the noise resistance, Rn, of the amplifier. The seismometer factors range from 1.13 to 3.66 for the nine EM seismometers considered. The minimum noise figure solution, in which the amplifier noise resistance is set equal to the coil resistance, is shown to correspond to the special case in which there is no damping resistor present. It is also shown that the optimum form for the noise resistance is a constant independent of frequency and that this feature can be approximated with FET-like components such as the MAT-02. Examples of using rc.opt are given using both the 5500-ohm and the 500-ohm 1-Hz L4-C seismometers paired with the OP-27 and LT1028 operational amplifiers, respectively. It is pointed out that, although the resulting amplitude signal-to-noise ratios (ASNRs) are approximately equal, it is best to choose the seismometer-amplifier pair having the larger generator constant because it results in a larger signal. Furthermore, if the coil resistance is not the optimum value, the resulting decrease in the ASNR is less if the coil resistance is chosen greater than the optimum rather than less.

The deleterious effects of mismatching seismometer and amplifier are shown by comparing ASNRs for the GS-13 seismometer paired with three different amplifiers. The degradation in ASNR is found to be as large as a factor of 3. It is pointed out that mismatching would not be done purposely but can inadvertently occur when connecting an EM seismometer to a seismic recorder whose input noise resistance properties are unknown, as in generally the case. It is recommended that manufacturers of seismic recorders obtain the necessary input noise data from the component manufacturers and supply the input noise resistance to users.

Finally, the three commonly used single-ended preamplifier circuits used for EM seismometers are compared in terms of their resulting ASNRs. The same seismometer and amplifier are used in all three circuits. For the GS-13/MAT-02 pair, the noninverting, parallel damping resistor circuit resulted in an ASNR that was 3.8 times larger than that for the inverting, parallel damping resistor circuit, and 3 times larger than that for the inverting, series damping resistor circuit.
Estimation of strong ground motions in Mexico City expected for large earthquakes in the Guerrero seismic gap
Authors: Kanamori Hiroo , Jennings Paul C. , Singh Shri Krishna , Astiz Luciana
Published: September 2021

We performed simulations of ground motions in Mexico City expected for large earthquakes in the Guerrero seismic gap in Mexico. The simulation method uses as empirical Green's functions the accelerograms recorded in Mexico City during four small to moderate earthquakes (8 Feb. 1988, Ms = 5.8; 25 April 1989, Mw = 6.9; 11 May 1990, Mw = 5.5; and 31 May 1990, Mw = 6.0) in the Guerrero gap. Because these events occurred in the Guerrero gap, and have typical thrust mechanisms, the propagation path and site effects can be accurately included in our simulation. Fault rupture patterns derived from the 1985 Michoacan earthquake and source scaling relations appropriate for Mexican subduction zone earthquakes are used. If the Guerrero event is similar to the 1985 Michoacan event, the resulting response spectrum in Mexico City will be approximately twice as large as that of the 1985 Michoacan earthquake at periods longer than 2 sec. At periods shorter than 2 sec, the amplitude will be 2 to 3 times larger than that for the Michoacan earthquake. If the events in the Guerrero seismic gap occur as a sequence of magnitude 7.5 to 7.8 events, as they did in the previous sequence around the turn of the century, the strong motion in Mexico City is estimated to be about half that experienced during the 1985 Michoacan earthquake at periods longer than 2 sec. However, several factors affect this estimate. The magnitude of the possible events has a significant range and, if a rupture sequence is such that it enhances ground-motion amplitude with constructive interference, as occurred during the second half of the Michoacan sequence, some components of the ground motion could be amplified by a factor of 2 to 3. To aid in the interpretation of the simulated motion for purposes of design or hazard assessment, design spectra for the CDAO site in Mexico City are derived from the response spectra of the simulated ground motions.
Source study of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake
Authors: Wald David J. , Kanamori Hiroo , Helmberger Donald V. , Heaton Thomas H.
Published: September 2021

All quality teleseismic recordings of the great 1906 San Francisco earthquake archived in the 1908 Carnegie Report by the State Earthquake Investigation Commission were scanned and digitized. First order results were obtained by comparing complexity and amplitudes of teleseismic waveforms from the 1906 earthquake with well calibrated, similarly located, more recent earthquakes (1979 Coyote Lake, 1984 Morgan Hill, and 1989 Loma Prieta earthquakes) at nearly co-located modern stations. Peak amplitude ratios for calibration events indicated that a localized moment release of about 1 to 1.5 × 1027 dyne-cm was responsible for producing the peak the teleseismic body wave arrivals. At longer periods (50 to 80 sec), we found spectral amplitude ratios of the surface waves require a total moment release between 4 and 6 × 1027 dyne-cm for the 1906 earthquake, comparable to previous geodetic and surface wave estimates (Thatcher, 1975). We then made a more detailed source analysis using Morgan Hill S body waves as empirical Green's Functions in a finite fault subevent summation. The Morgan Hill earthquake was deemed most appropriate for this purpose as its mechanism is that of the 1906 earthquake in the central portion of the rupture. From forward and inverse empirical summations of Morgan Hill Green's functions, we obtained a good fit to the best quality teleseismic waveforms with a relatively simple source model having two regions of localized strong radiation separated spatially by about 110 km. Assuming the 1906 epicenter determined by Bolt (1968), this corresponds with a large asperity (on the order of the Loma Prieta earthquake) in the Golden Gate/San Francisco region and one about three times larger located northwest along strike between Point Reyes and Fort Ross. This model implies that much of the 1906 rupture zone may have occurred with relatively little 10 to 20 sec radiation. Consideration of the amplitude and frequency content of the 1906 teleseismic data allowed us to estimate the scale length of the largest asperity to be less than about 40 km. With rough constraints on the largest asperity (size and magnitude) we produced a suite of estimated synthetic ground velocities assuming a slip distribution similar to that of the Loma Prieta earthquake but with three times as much slip. For purposes of comparison with the recent, abundant Loma Prieta strong motion data set, we “moved” the largest 1906 asperity into Loma Prieta region. Peak ground velocity amplitudes are substantially greater than those recorded during the Loma Prieta earthquake, and are comparable to those predicted by the attenuation relationship of Joyner and Boore (1988) for a magnitude MW = 7.7 earthquake.
Three-dimensional simulations of ground motions in the San Bernardino Valley, California, for hypothetical earthquakes on the San Andreas fault
Authors: Frankel Arthur
Published: September 2021

Three-dimensional finite difference simulations of elastic waves in the San Bernardino Valley were performed for two hypothetical earthquakes on the San Andreas fault: a point source with moment magnitude M5 and an extended rupture with M6.5. A method is presented for incorporating a source with arbitrary focal mechanism in the grid. Synthetics from the 3-D simulations are compared with those derived from 2-D (vertical cross section) and 1-D (flat-layered) models. The synthetic seismograms from the 3-D and 2-D simulations exhibit large surface waves produced by conversion of incident S waves at the edge of the basin. Seismograms from the flat-layered model do not contain these converted surface waves and underestimate the duration of shaking. The seismograms from the 3-D simulations have larger amplitude coda than do the seismograms from the 2-D case because of the presence of off-azimuth surface wave arrivals in the 3-D simulations that are not included in the 2-D simulations. Snapshots of the wavefield of the 3-D simulation show that these off-azimuth arrivals represent surface waves reflected from the edges of the basin. The anelastic attenuation of the sediments is a key parameter controlling the overall duration of motion. Some of the coda energy at rock sites near the basin edges represents leakage of surface wave energy out of the basin. For the M6.5 earthquake simulation, the largest ground velocities occur where surface waves reflected from the edge of the basin interfere constructively with the trapped waves that follow the direct S-wave. Maps of maximum ground velocity are produced for two directions of rupture propagation. The largest velocities occur in localized portions of the basin. The location of the largest velocities changes with the rupture propagation direction. Contours of maximum shaking are also dependent on asperity positions and radiation pattern.
Modeling three-dimensional site response effects in the Marina District Basin, San Francisco, California
Authors: Graves Robert W.
Published: September 2021

Loma Prieta aftershock data recorded in the Marina District of San Francisco clearly show a large amplification in ground motion and a much longer duration of shaking relative to the response recorded at nearby rock sites for frequencies between 1 and 10 Hz. Some of the amplification can be explained by the difference in impedance between the Marina sites and the rock sites; however, 1D models underpredict the amplification in the range 1 to 3 Hz and cannot account for the increased durations. The available geologic information within the Marina District indicates lateral variations in sediment thickness and composition. Our previous experience with modeling wave propagation in these types of basin environments has shown that these structures can greatly amplify and prolong the duration of the signals observed at sites within the basin. In this study, the seismic response of the Marina basin is modeled with a 3D finite-difference wave field simulation technique. Results from the numerical simulations at the basin sites indicate that the large amplitude arrivals following the direct S wave are surface waves traveling at relatively slow apparent velocities. In general, the surface waves contain the strongest recorded motions and produce the long duration of shaking observed at these sites. In addition, spectral ground motions from the 3D basin models do fairly well in reproducing the observed spectral amplification near 1 Hz that is characteristic of the basin sites. The simulation results suggest that focusing effects due to the geometry of the basin structure itself have a significant impact in determining the resonant periods at these basin sites.
Reflection and transmission of surface waves at a vertical interface in anisotropic elastic media
Authors: Its E. N. , Lee J. S.
Published: September 2021

Propagation of surface waves across a vertical interface between anisotropic blocks is considered in this paper. Dyadic representation of a far field Green's function for an anisotropic half-space is constructed first. An analytical procedure is then developed to determine the reflection and transmission coefficients of surface waves at the vertical interface between two laterally homogeneous anisotropic quarter-spaces. Numerical results of Rayleigh wave reflection at vertical interfaces between dissimilar blocks are presented and the trade-off between anisotropy and inhomogeneity is discussed.
Continuous measurements of microtremors on sediments and basement in Los Angeles, California
Authors: Yamanaka Hiroaki , Dravinski Marijan , Kagami Hiroshi
Published: September 2021

Continuous measurement of microtremors at two sites on basement rock and sediments was carried out in Los Angeles, California, in order to understand the fundamental characteristics of microtremors. A predominant peak with a period of about 6.5 sec was found in the microtremor spectra in both media. The spectral amplitude of the peaks varied gradually with time in a similar manner at the two sites. Their time-variant characteristics are in agreement with change in oceanic swell height observed at an oceanic buoy in the southwest of Los Angeles. This suggests that they originate from an oceanic disturbance. On the other hand, a clear daily variation of spectral amplitudes at a period of 0.3 sec indicates that short-period microtremors are caused by cultural noises. It was found that the spectral ratio of long-period microtremors between the basement and the sediments was repeatable, although the spectral amplitudes at the two sites were time-variant. The spectral ratio of the long-period microtremors was similar to that derived from strong motion records. This suggests the applicability of spectral ratios of microtremors to assess the effects of deep sediments on long-period earthquake ground motion.
Display and assessment of earthquake focal mechanisms by vector representation
Authors: Sipkin Stuart A.
Published: September 2021

The isomorphism between symmetric, three-dimensional, second-order tensors and six-dimensional vectors is exploited to display suites of seismic moment tensors and to asses their similarities and differences, both graphically and quantitatively. Using the southern Mid-Atlantic Ridge as an example, I show that this method successfully differentiates between different mechanism types and orientations. In addition, the dispersion within a group of mechanisms is successfully quantified.
Passcal instrument performance during the Tibetan Plateau Passive Seismic Experiment

Published: September 2021

The PASSCAL instrumentation performed very well in the Tibetan Plateau Seismic Experiment. This experiment has demonstrated the viability of recording high-quality broadband data at temporary sites in extreme environments. It also highlights some areas where further development is needed. Primarily, more effort is needed to develop more versatile triggering options for the PASSCAL instruments. Such developments could both increase the instrument's success at recording low magnitude teleseismic events for travel-time studies and save disk space when recording local events, thus further increasing the feasibility of long deployments in remote regions. Although the use of the PASSCAL instrument's calibration circuitry for sensor recentering is a valuable technique, more experience is needed in the construction of sensor pads to minimize tilt problems that require site visits to relevel the seismometer such as we experienced at a few sites in the winter. This may also lead to improved low-frequency noise levels, although signals with periods greater than 200 sec can be recovered from these sites.

The most exciting aspect of the data we have collected is its broad frequency content and spatial density. We anticipate that this type of experiment will be increasingly useful in the study of lithospheric interactions as well as deep Earth structure. This data was delivered to the IRIS Data Management Center in early September 1993 and is available to the community. Two other broadband passive-seismic experiments, the Baikal Rift experiment (Gao et al. 1992) and the Rocky Mountain Front experiment (Sheehan et al. 1992) should be delivered to the IRIS DMC in the Fall of 1993 as well. Temporary broadband seismic experiments represent an extension of the permanent Global Seismic Network (GSN). We encourage the seismological community to incorporate these data into any research using GSN data in order to maximize the potential utility of this new mode of seismic recording.

Published: September 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the overall risks and demonstrated the attitudes of members of society towards them. The subject is the carriers and owners of risks in the context of a pandemic from among social entrepreneurs and traditionally classified as vulnerable categories of citizens. The purpose of the work is to analyze the contradiction between the demand for a number of state support measures for traditionally allocated vulnerable groups of the population and the situation with their implementation, in which social entrepreneurs are involved along with state structures to provide services in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The novelty of the approach is to clarify the categories of socially vulnerable citizens based on the division of social risks in the new conditions of the pandemic. Current empirical sociological data obtained by the online survey commissioned by the relevant department allowed us to determine the urgency of the demand for state support measures. To reduce dependence on the state and develop partnerships, the income of social entrepreneurs should not be lower than the average salary in the region. To do this, it is important to create associative forms of interaction and develop cooperation with business, science, and education. A promising and difficult task for the authorities is to involve socially vulnerable citizens in innovative social activities in the format of social entrepreneurship, in interaction with social protection agencies for their effectiveness. The development of tools for stimulating cooperation between beneficiaries and stakeholders is on the agenda for further study

The article devoted to the problems of changing the perception and application of the basic concepts of management science and practice, such as rational management, organizational culture, fair remuneration, and others. The author examines the origins of the modern concept of “management philosophy” in such well-known works as, for example, Aristotle’s “Ethics”. Some of the principles of ancient Greek business ethics (honesty, work) became the basis of Protestant ethics, which is based on Western European and American modern capitalist civilization. In the modern realities of management, these concepts have changed, therefore, a new perception of the management philosophy is necessary, a gradual rethinking of the basic concepts, one of the attempts of such a rethinking is made by the author

Local digital communities on the Internet are becoming more and more influential and are gradually taking the place of traditional forms of neighborly communication. At the theoretical and empirical level, the authors investigate the nature of local digital communities and their relationship with the traditional concept of “local community”. Based on the analysis of the local information space of the Internet in 4 cities of Russia, differing in population size and level of socio-economic development, it was concluded that neighboring groups in social networks and messengers belong to communities of a new type, communication in which is based on the discussion of current local news and household issues. Given the growing involvement of the population to participate in digital communities, it is necessary to remember their importance for mobilizing offline activities. The results obtained in the course of the study can be used by municipal authorities to build effective communication with civil society. In turn, the product of scientific work can help local activists better understand the nature of citizen involvement in digital communities, which will allow them to more effectively organize collective activities to protect the interests of citizens and solve local problems.

The Place of God in the Natural Science Picture of the World by I. Newton
Authors:   Russian State Social University, Otyutsky Gennady P.
Published: September 2021

The author reveals the peculiarities of the methodological approach of I. Newton, which follows from the specifics of understanding the place of God in the natural science picture of the world of the great scientist. His ideas about God, as well as the religious ideas of Kepler, Descartes, and Leibniz, became the methodological basis for a number of epistemological principles, the use of which contributed to outstanding discoveries in natural science. These discoveries, in turn, formed the content of the scientific revolution of the 17th century. Among such principles is a “multifunctional” understanding of the role of God: as the creator of the world, as the foundation of the harmony of the world, as the source of the immutability of the laws of nature, as the root cause of movement, etc. The author demonstrates a regularity: the existence of problems in natural science, which in this state of science cannot be solved exclusively by scientific methods, leads to gaps in the holistic natural science picture of the world. In such a situation, the “God hypothesis” not only helps to fill such gaps, but can be considered as a special epistemological tool.

Published: September 2021

The article is devoted to determining the system priorities of the strategic development of the service sector in the context of the formation of modern technological challenges. The study used the basics of a systematic approach and synergetic, theoretical generalizations of existing scientific developments, structural and functional analysis, and interpretation of objective trends. Special attention is paid to the turbulence of socio-economic processes in connection with the upcoming changes in the main parameters of employment for reasons of automation and digitalization, which cannot be strictly quantified at the present time. In order to maximize the use of real technological opportunities for the transition to a new level of labor productivity in the national economy, it is proposed to take into account the potential for using the principles of unconditional basic income in practice, which is considered as the main content of the upcoming transformation of the service sector. As a result, with sufficient reason, a new use of the created product is expected, which means the formation of new economic relations, primarily in the service sector. This consistently becomes a priority function and a trend of its immediate development, which is not yet paid due attention in economic science. Modern technological digitalization makes real the processes of consistent integration of the system components of social protection and social policy into the relations of unconditional basic income and becomes the basis for the synergy of the formation of new economic relations in specific sectors of the service sector and social security systems.

Providing housing for orphans is one of the most pressing problems of modern Russian society. The purpose of the article is to analyze the key problems of providing housing for orphans and children left without parental care, to study the social consequences of violation of their housing rights. The analysis of statistical data illustrates a number of significant problems in the implementation of state policy aimed at ensuring the housing rights of orphans. The key one is the insufficient level of funding, which does not allow regional authorities to fulfill their obligations in a timely manner and in full. The following problems in the field of providing housing to orphans were highlighted: dysfunction of interagency interaction, legal gaps, lack of conditions for registering graduates of residential institutions at the place of residence, narrowing social support, medical care, existing practices of providing housing of unsatisfactory quality, in rural settlements with remote access, low level of infrastructure development, limited conditions for finding a job.

Published: September 2021

In modern Russian society, there is a rapid transformation of various forms of cultural expression, including in the cinema. Modern Russian cinema is perceived by generations of «fathers and children» in different ways: there is a so-called generational «reverse».

the article examines the objective and ideologically established prerequisites for the growth of the outflow of line banking personnel. In the realities of widespread digitalization and the development of remote technologies, the reasons for the increase in staff turnover are not sufficiently justified and clear. Of course, the profile of the most linear bank employee brings us back to the question of the Theory of generations of N. Howe and V. Strauss, as well as to the personalization of the approach of employee adaptation in the workplace. The methodological basis of these studies is the research and scientific works of Russian and foreign scientists. Separately, the author’s research is presented, which allows us to establish a connection between employees and the reason for dismissal from the bank, as well as to analyze the current situation with the allocation of the most “acute” wishes of the bank staff when leaving the organization. The corresponding conclusions are made, and the assumptions of obtaining an effect when implementing a number of measures are put forward.
