The Combine Synergies Between Islamic Micro Finance Portfolio and Various Structured Finance Solutions
Authors: Shabbir Malik Shahzad
Published: July 2019

The objective of this study is to combine the both Islamic micro finance portfolio and structured finance within the limits of Shariah. However, sustainability and access to traditional funding sources by micro finance institutions (MFI) have remained a pressing issue for the finance industry. The traditional sources of finance such as commercial banks have been unwilling and reluctant to join hands with micro finance institutions. A unique structured proposal for business model is suggested in this paper. It combines synergies of structured finance solution for Islamic banks to join hands with existing micro finance providers. The proposed business model will enhance the financing capacity of the existing micro finance Industry by a staggering two thirds, simply by bringing in matching funds from traditional sources. These funds are based on the strong business model using synergies and financially innovative structured solution proposed for risk management etc. It is a commercially viable solution which is capable of being replicated for the entire industry with a huge win-win for all. The results reveal that helping hands for relief development (HHRD) would be providing its share of Rs.115 Million (1045454.54 US dollars) to be matched on 60:40 ratios with Meezan Bank Limited (MBL). Furthermore, Rs.76.667 Million (696972.72 US dollars) and the total Rs.191.667 Million (1742427.27 US dollars) have matched on 30:70 bases between both HHRD and MBL regarding challenges of financial innovation. This study highlights the issue, why financial institutions of Pakistan especially government sector banks avoided to joint hands with micro finance providers for various reason. These reasons are discussed in detail with proper solution in the paper.
Sarekat Dagang Islam SDI (1905-1912): Between The Savagery of Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie (VOC) and The Independence of Indonesia
Authors: Mustakif Muhammad Kaffin , Mulyati Mumung
Published: July 2019

Sarekat Dagang Islam SDI (Islamic Trade Union) was originally an association of native Muslim traders. The organization formed by Haji Samanhudi in Surakarta on October 16, 1905, was initiated with the initial aim of gathering native Muslim traders (especially batik traders) to compete with big Chinese traders. At that time, Chinese merchants were more advanced in business and had higher rights and status than other Indies residents. Policies that were deliberately created by the Dutch East Indies government then led to social change due to the emergence of awareness among the natives. This article discusses how the initial formation of this organization by taking a lengthy historical background; that is, since the entry of the Dutch into the archipelago. This lengthy background was chosen so that the birth of SDI could be understood as the culmination of indigenous disappointment and suffering because of the discriminatory policies of the Dutch colonial government, in addition to other awareness arising from aspects of increasing the level of indigenous education and changing the political atmosphere in the Netherlands. Using a literature survey, this article found that the awareness of native Muslim traders who later gave birth to SDI became the forerunner of the overall indigenous knowledge to obtain independence from the Netherlands. It also led to SDI becoming Sarekat Islam (SI) in 1906 and gaining official recognition from the Dutch government on September 14, 1912. This article captures the historical message that progress of a nation can only occur if the components of the country have a shared awareness to forward through the agreement or national consensus that the formulation is also carried out jointly.
Sacrifices at the altar of self-transformation
Authors: Robertson Alison , Wildcroft Theo
Published: July 2019

Within both cultural and academic understandings, conceptions of what pain is and the ways it is experienced are complicated by moral and medical pathologisation. Pain is often defined in a tautological fashion, as physical suffering or discomfort caused by illness or injury. Both the experience of pain and responses to that experience are shaped by context and are subject to forces of ideology. On the edges of religious experience there have always been those who explored pain and suffering as a ritual means or end. This paper examines how some people have negotiated the moral context and medicalisation of pain-filled experience, and why: from the physical alchemy of hatha yoga to body modification, BDSM and other complex behaviours often labelled as ‘self-harming’. Using personal accounts of encounters with pain as a guide, we will discuss how physical pain and stress are transformed by context and culture, to either enable or deny personal agency and mind–body integration.

‘Seeing’ my Beloved
Authors: Takhar Opinderjit Kaur
Published: July 2019

The discussion in this chapter focuses on the concept of darsan from a Sikh perspective by analysing teachings from the Guru Granth Sahib on the subject of 'seeing' the Divine. Sikhi (Sikh teachings) emphasises the Ultimate Divine as formless and experienced through the senses. Indeed, Sikhi refers to this experience as blissful union with one's Beloved. This chapter explores Sahaj, mystical union with the Divine, through an analysis of teachings around darsan in Sikh teachings. Time and time again, the teachings of the Guru Granth Sahib allude to the bestowing of Nadar as the opportunity to transcend one's consciousness from being manmukh (worldly/self-orientated) to gurmukh (attuned to the Divine). To become gurmukh is the concept of an awakened mind; according to Sikhi, a gurmukh is one who has 'seen' the formless Divine, one who has 'heard' the anahad sabad (the unstruck melody), which suggests a heightening of the senses, an awakening of the man/buddhi.

A construção social do corpo: como a perseguição do ideal de belo influenciou as concepções de saúde na sociedade brasileira contemporânea
Authors: Sena Rômulo Mágnus de Castro , Nascimento Ellany Gurgel Cosme do , Sena Patrícia Rakel de Castro , Jacob Lia Maristela da Silva , Maia Eulália Maria Chaves
Published: July 2019

O presente estudo teórico tem por objetivo resgatar a construção histórica do corpo, evidenciando nesse processo o ideal de beleza, perseguido ao longo dos anos por diversas culturas, e suas repercussões sobre a concepção de saúde produzida na sociedade brasileira contemporânea. Para tanto o corpus discursivo foi estruturado em quatro tópicos, a saber: Descobrindo a Beleza: a instituição de um padrão de imagem corporal na antiguidade clássica; Encobrindo a Beleza: o corpo como lugar de expiação e especulação científica; Reinventando a Beleza: como a mídia pauta novas exigências de construção da imagem corporal; e A satisfação com a imagem corporal como preditor de saúde. Percebe-se que embora a beleza tenha sido uma das grandes ocupações e preocupações do homem, não se constata esforços no intento de defini-la, aparecendo como um aspecto da imagem corporal, com relativos atributos divinais, já que os homens são incentivados a persegui-la e atingi-la.

Sino-Russian environmental cooperation: past, present, and future
Authors: Chen Qiujie
Published: July 2019

In order to address vital environmental issues, China and Russia have established a set of cooperation mechanisms, such as the Sub-Committee on Environmental Protection of the Regular Meeting of the Prime Ministers of China and Russia. There is currently a multi-level environmental cooperation system between the two countries. In recent years, China and Russia have strengthened their ecological cooperation and have achieved certain results in the conservation of cross-border water resources and establishment of transboundary nature reserves. There are still, however, many problems to handle such as the discrepancies in legislation and the limited character of investment each of the countries is willing to make into environmental protection. Therefore, as the article shows, it is necessary to formulate a unified regulatory framework; to establish a resource protection zone; to enhance joint monitoring of the water quality in transboundary rivers as well as soil and air quality in adjacent areas; and, finally, to raise public awareness in both countries of environmental security and nature conservation. In 2017, Russia hosted the Year of Ecology, which was a good opportunity for both countries to promote information exchange and cooperation in the sphere of joint monitoring and governance, environmental legislation, and ecological education.
Acil serviste yapılan bilgisayarlı tomografi görüntüleme istemleri ne kadar etkin?
Authors: ÖZKAN YILDIZ Özge , ERAYBAR Suna , KAYA Halil , ARMAĞAN Erol
Published: July 2019

Amaç: Son yıllarda giderek
gelişen radyolojik görüntüleme yöntemleri tanısal süreçte önemli bir araç
haline gelmiştir. Kolay ulaşılabilir olmaları nedeniyle görüntüleme yöntemleri
acil servislerde hasta değerlendirmede anamnez ve fizik muayenenin önüne geçmiş
fakat uygun endikasyon konulmamış, gereksiz tetkik istemleri sayısında artışı
beraberinde getirmiştir. Özellikle bilgisayarlı tomografinin fazla miktarda,
endikasyon dışı istenmesi günümüzde sağlık harcamalarını giderek arttırmış, bu
da bedel-etkinlik konusunu gündeme getirmiştir. Çalışmamızda amaç acil serviste
bilgisayarlı tomografi istemi yapılan hastaların istem gerekçelerini ve saptanan
mevcut patolojileri değerlendirerek, tetkiklerin uygunluğunu saptamaktır.Gereç
ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya Yüksek İhtisas Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Acil
servisine altı aylık sürede başvuran ve tanısal test olarak Bilgisayarlı
tomografi görüntüleme istenen 1700 hasta dahil edildi. Bu hastaların kayıtları
hastane otomasyonu ve hasta dosyaları kullanılarak retrospektif olarak incelendi.
Çalışmaya dahil edilen hastaların yaş grupları, cinsiyeti, travma öyküsü, ön tanıları
kaydedildi. Görüntüleme ile saptanan patolojiler kaydedilerek istem
gerekçesindeki ön tanılar ile karşılaştırıldı.Bulgular:
Çalışmaya dahil edilen hastaların tanı gruplarına göre sınıflandırılmasında;
travma nedeniyle görüntülemeye başvurulan hastaların oranı  %42.9 olarak saptanırken travma nedeniyle
maksillofasial BT çekilen olguların %81’ inde omurga BT çekilen olguların %91’ inde
patoloji saptandı. Çocukluk yaş döneminde travma nedeniyle yapılan kranial
görüntülemelerin %98.5’ inde ise patoloji saptanmadı. Cinsiyete göre
abdominopelvik BT sonuçları incelendiğinde erkeklerin %68.6’ sının kadınların
ise %63.9’unun acil patoloji saptanmadığı görüldü.

Sonuç: Görüntüleme
sonuçları incelendiğinde normal görüntüleme sayısı oldukça yüksekti. Hastalarda
tomografi istem gerekçeleri iyi irdelenmeli ve klinik karar verme kılavuzları
eşliğinde doğru endikasyonlar ile görüntüleme yapılmalıdır. Bu sayede mevcut
yüksek çekim oranları, maliyet ve hastaların radyasyon maruziyeti
azaltılabilir.

Published: July 2019

As crianças pequenas apresentam singularidades próprias do tempo de vida em que se encontram, bem como no modo como aprendem e se desenvolvem. Assim, a educação destinada a elas apresenta especificidades que exigem do professor saberes específicos. Neste sentido, sólida formação teórico-prática é indispensável ao professor de Educação Infantil. O artigo apresenta parte dos resultados do projeto de pesquisa “Os impactos da política do MEC na formação de professores em nível de especialização: um estudo de caso na Unidade de Educação Infantil (UEI) Wilson Bahia. Objetiva-se analisar a experiência formativa no Curso de Especialização em Docência na Educação Infantil, ocorrido na Universidade Federal do Pará, e a relação dessa formação com a docência na creche. A pesquisa tem uma abordagem qualitativa e como metodologia de coleta de informações realizou-se a roda de conversa com professoras egressas do curso. A organização e análise das informações baseiam-se em técnicas da Análise de Conteúdo. Os resultados apontam que os fundamentos teóricos-metodológicos que permearam a formação no curso possibilitaram às professoras o exercício da reflexão de suas práticas pedagógicas e a (re)construção dos saberes sobre o trabalho docente na creche, bem como permitiu qualificar o fazer do docente universitário que atua na formação inicial de professores. Os dados revelam quão necessário é o diálogo entre universidade e instituição de Educação Infantil para a construção de saberes necessários à docência com bebês.

Gravitational microlensing of an elliptical source near a fold caustic
Authors: Alexandrov A. , Zhdanov V. , Kuybarov A.
Published: July 2019

We consider the amplification factor for the luminosity of an extended source near the fold caustic of the gravitational lens. It is assumed that the source has elliptical shape, and the brightness distribution along the radial directions is Gaussian. During the microlensing event the total brightness of all microimages is observed, which changes when the source moves relative to the caustic. The main contribution to the variable component is given by the so-called critical images that arise/disappear at the intersection of the caustic by the source. In the present paper we obtained an analogous formula for elliptical Gaussian source. The formula involves a dependence on the coordinates of the source centre, its geometric dimensions, and its orientation relative to the caustic. We show that in the linear caustic approximation the amplification of the circular and elliptical sources is described by the same (rescaled) formula. However, in the next approximations the differences are significant. We compare analytical calculations of the amplification curves for different orientations of an elliptical source and for a circular source with the same luminosity for the model example.
Cоmpact star-forming galaxies: the fraction of thermal emission in the radio continuum at 1.4 GHz
Authors: Parnovsky S. , Izotova I.
Published: July 2019

The fraction of thermal (free-free) emission in the radio continuum at the frequency of 1.4 GHz is derived in 193 compact star-forming galaxies(CSFG). These galaxies with detected radio emission represent the subsample of a larger CSFG sample of about 14 000 galaxies (Izotov, Y.I., Guseva, N.G., Fricke, K.J., Henkel, C.: Mon. Not. R. Astron. Soc. 2016, 462, 4427) selected from the Data Release 12 of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey(SDSS) (Alam, S., et al.: Astrophys. J. Suppl. Ser. 219, 12, 2015). We use the 1.4 GHz fluxes from the FIRST (Becker R.H., White R.L., & Helfand D.J.: 1995, ApJ, 450, 559) and NVSS (Condon, J.J., Cotton, W.D., Greisen, E.W., et al.: 1998, AJ, 115, 1693) catalogues. The fluxes of the thermal component at 1.4 GHz are derived from the extinction- and aperture-corrected fluxes of the Hβ emission line in the SDSS spectra following to (Caplan, J., & Deharveng, L.: 1986, A&A, 155, 297) and are compared with the total fluxes in radio continuum. The distribution of the fraction of thermal emission A at 1.4 GHz is similar to the log-normal one. Its median values of 6 % and 14 % are derived respectively with the Hβemission line fluxes which are non-corrected and corrected for aperture. We consider these values as lower and upper limits and discuss their uncertainties introduced by aperture corrections. The derived fractions of thermal emission are similar to those found previously for different types of star-forming galaxies. We study the dependence of A on various parameters and find strong correlation with the equivalent width of the Hβ emission line W and the gr colour index I. The A value increases with increasing of the equivalent width W at a fixed colour index I or with increasing of the colour index I at a fixed equivalent width W. Additionally, we find that the fraction of thermal emission at 1.4 GHz is lower for older starbursts.
Determination of the double galaxies masses by the “timing argument” method
Authors: Kudrya Yu.
Published: July 2019

The possibilities of application of the “timing argument” (ТА) method to the physical pairs of galaxies that differ from the pair M31 – Milky Way are considered. We confine ourselves to pairs in the Local volume, imposing the additional isolation conditions on candidates for inclusion in the sample. The method was supplemented by the manner of taking into account the nonparallel- ism of the radial velocities of galaxies of close (wide) pairs. For the fourteen physical galaxy pairs (see a list in Tables) of the Local volume galaxies their ТА masses, including masses of dark matter, were estimated. The ratio χ of the mass of pairs to the sum of stellar masses was obtained in wide range from 0.5 to 4000. In some cases (KPG-40, KM-94, J0742+16, J1303-17, J1315+47) the masses estimated by TA are in agreement with popular estimates of χ. For whole sample, taking into account such variance of χ values it is difficult to make certain conclusions regarding its physical causes. Most likely, the TA model in the majority of the cases considered can not be used, pairs of general considerations can have a relative rotational moment.

Indumentaria, galas y adornos en las parejas reales de 1765 a partir de dos manuscritos de la Biblioteca Nacional de España
Authors: López Castillo José Miguel
Published: July 2019

La naturaleza guerrera de las justas medievales mutó paulatinamente hasta configurarse como un festejo exclusivamente de exhibición de las habilidades de jinetes y cuadrillas. Durante el siglo XVIII, a estos actos –vinculados intrínsecamente a las efemérides reales – se les comenzaron a denominar como “las Parejas”, acrecentando de este modo su personalidad festivo-cortesana gracias al lujo, la magnificencia, la política y el poder. En la Biblioteca Nacional de España se conservan dos manuscritos resultantes de los juegos de parejas que se celebraron para la boda del príncipe de Asturias, Carlos de Borbón (futuro Carlos IV), con María Luisa de Parma el 12 de diciembre de 1765, realizados por Salvador Rodríguez  Jordán y Juan Antonio Morales Coronel.
Los Telephone Book Papers de Franz Kline y su titubeante concordancia formal con la caligrafía japonesa
Authors: Sarriugarte Gómez Iñigo
Published: July 2019

Franz Kline comenzó a ensayar sobre soportes que no eran habitualmente empleados en los procesos deductivos de los pintores expresionistas abstractos de la época, caso de las hojas de las guías telefónicas. El artista recabó un material de fácil uso y acceso, disponiendo de todo aquel que se necesitara, y de este modo poder eliminar los resultados no satisfactorios, ya que la disponibilidad de recursos era inagotable. También tuvo en consideración las reglamentaciones organizativas que aportaban las propias listas de teléfonos con la alineación de los nombres de los usuarios.En base a una intensa revisión bibliográfica, se ha abordado un texto de carácter crítico-histórico con el objetivo de preponderar la importancia de los primeros procesos experimentales del pintor abstracto, al tratarse de indagaciones que se tornan fundamentales desde el punto de vista estratégico no sólo para la subsiguiente materialización de su obra más conocida, sino para dar salida al posterior debate gestado en torno a las supuestas influencias de la caligrafía japonesa en la conformación de sus trazos.

The 1985/86 Earthquake Swarm in Western Bohemia
Authors: Procháková Dana
Published: July 2019

Earthquake swarms are typical of Western Bohemia and the Vogtland region. The 1985/86 earthquake swarm lasted about two months (Dec. 1985 – Jan. 1986). It split into four active periods. Several thousands of earthquakes were recorded. The strongest shock was on Dec. 21, 1985 at 10 h 16 m UTC. Its local magnitude was 5.1 (FRG, Federal Republic of Germany) and 4.6 (CIPE, Central Institute for Physics of the Earth, Potsdamn, GDR) and epicentral intensity Io = 7° MSK-64. A rich macroseismic and instrumental material provides new knowledge concerning the character of individual earthquakes and the swarm pattern. The swarm did not differ in character from the old ones.
Microearthquakes in Kansas and Nebraska 1977–87
Authors: Hildebrand Greg M. , Steeples Don W. , Knapp Ralph W. , Miller Richard D. , Bennett Brett C.
Published: July 2019

The Kansas Geological Survey has operated a microearthquake seismograph network since mid-1977. The network now consists of fifteen stations located in the eastern half of Kansas and Nebraska. Locatable microearthquakes with duration magnitudes less than 3.2 occur at the rate of roughly 20 per year in the two-state area, with most of the events ranging from 1.4 to 2.5 in local magnitude. The microearthquake pattern observed over the past ten years is consistent with the pattern of historical earthquakes reported since 1867. Much of the activity occurs along the Nemaha Ridge, a buried Precambrian uplift that runs from roughly Omaha, Nebraska, southward across Kansas to near Oklahoma City. This geological structure has been the site of several earthquakes of MM Intensity VII over the past 125 years. Some seismicity is observed along the northwest flank of the Midcontinent Geophysical Anomaly in Kansas, but little is observed in the Nebraska or Iowa portions of this Precambrian feature. The Central Kansas Uplift, which is a buried anticline similar in age to the Nemaha Ridge, has been the site of several felt earthquakes since 1982. A trend of earthquakes extending northeastward across central Nebraska is not associated with any prominent known geologic structure. All the seismicity in central and eastern Kansas can be roughly correlated to known geologic structures.
Tectonic Environments of Strong Earthquakes in the North China Region
Authors: Zongjin Ma , Xiaoqing Wang
Published: July 2019

The North China Seismic Region is not a typical intraplate seismic region. Not only does it show a pervasive neotectonic influence of global plate geodynamics, but it also displays an atypical seismic activity rate, especially for strong earthquakes, for a region far from plate boundaries. It is obvious that the seismicity is related to the active seismotectonics and geodynamics of the deforming interior of a continental plate. The features of the seismotectonic zones and the tectonic setting of magnitude 6.0 or greater earthquakes in the region are discussed here. We conclude that strong earthquakes occur mainly in places where NE-trending main and NW-trending auxiliary tectonic zones intersect. Three types of mechanisms are suggested which differ according to the characteristics of different seismotectonic zones and which relate to different shallow and deep structures. These observed types of strong earthquakes in North China may represent the main categories of continental intraplate seismicity.
Temporal Clustering of Earthquakes: Examples from the Basin and Range Province
Authors: Ni James , Wallace Terry
Published: July 2019

Accurate forecasting of earthquake hazards depends on whether seismicity is time-stationary or variable. Detailed studies of late Quaternary faulting in two parts of the Basin and Range suggest that seismicity cannot be considered time-stationary, and there may be temporal clustering of earthquakes. In west central Nevada there appear to be three “peaks” of activity, (1) the historical activity along the Nevada Seismic Belt, (2) a temporal cluster at 2,000–3,000 ya, (3) a duster at 5,000–6,000 ya. For the two older episodes the ages of faulting are determined by morphologic analysis of fault scarps. Similar analysis of Quaternary fault scarps in southeastern Arizona show clustering of events at 20,000–25,000 ya and 80,000–90,000 ya. In both Arizona and Nevada the temporal clustering is not related to spatial clustering. However, the historical Nevada activity shows a spatial correlation.

Two basic issues need to be resolved: (1) why is there temporal clustering, and (2) how much communication is there between faults?
Space-time Clustering of Large Earthquakes: A Western U. S. Perspective with Implications for the East
Authors: Schwartz David P.
Published: July 2019

Results of ongoing paleoseismicity studies along the Wasatch fault zone, Utah, and Lost River fault zone, Idaho, suggest that spatial and temporal clustering of large magnitude surface-faulting earthquakes occur on each. The timing of individual past events is based primarily on radiocarbon and thermoluminescence dating of faulted deposits and on identification of displaced volcanic ashes, all observed in trenches.

Figure 1 shows the faulting history of the Wasatch for the past 6 ka. Even though there is variability, distinct patterns emerge. Five of the seven active segments ruptured between 0.3 and 1 ka; if the Salt Lake segment is included, six segments have ruptured between 0.3 and 1.5 ka. From Salt Lake south, a similar sequence of events occurred between about 4.5 and 6 ka. Figure 2 shows timing of events along the Lost River during the past 12 ka. No events occurred from at least 12 ka until middle Holocene. Between 5.5 and 8 ka the northern three segments ruptured; actual timing of events could have been considerably closer. The Thousand Springs segment produced the 1983, MS 7.3, Borah Peak earthquake.

These observations suggest thousands of years of quiescence can occur between clusters of activity during which adjacent segments fail in short periods of time (hours, months, decades, a few hundred years?). Segments adjacent to historical ruptures may have a higher potential to produce the next earthquakes, especially if they have elapsed times similar to the historical rupture segment. Similar clustering with even longer periods of quiescence could characterize seismic sources in the East.

Published: July 2019

The June 10 southeastern Illinois earthquake was the 11th largest earthquake felt in the central U.S. during this century. Source parameters of the main shock were estimated from an analysis of surface-wave amplitude spectra. The source that best fit the observed data has focal depth of 10 ± 1 km; mechanism with strike= 40.6°± 5.9°, dip= 76.2° ± 5.6°, slip= 159.7° ± 6.0°; tension and pressure axes of (T) trend= 357°, plunge= 24°, (P) trend= 89°, plunge= 4°; and a seismic moment of 3.1 * 1023 dyne-cm.

With the combined efforts of six institutions, a 24-station analog microearthquake network was deployed around the main shock epicenter. One hundred eighty-five aftershocks were recorded in the first week of monitoring, providing 144 hypocenter determinations. A subset of 51 well recorded events was used for joint relocation and calculation of station corrections for the stations within 100 km of the main shock epicenter. Joint hypocenter locations differ only slightly from the original locations. The spatial distribution of well located aftershocks indicates that the rupture was confined to a pencil-like zone within the Precambrian basement, extending from 7 to 11 km depth.
Ground Motion From A Magnitude 3.5 Earthquake Near Massena, New York: Evidence For Poor Resolution of Corner Frequency For Small Events
Authors: Hough S.E. , Jacob K. , Busby R. , Friberg P.A.
Published: July 2019

We present analysis of a magnitude 3.5 event which occurred at 9 km epicentral distance from a digital strong motion instrument operated by the National Center for Earthquake Engineering Research. Although the size of this isolated event is such that it can scarcely be considered to be a significant earthquake, a careful analysis of this high quality recording does yield several interesting results: 1) the S-wave spectra can be interpreted in terms of a simple omega-squared source spectrum and frequency-independent attenuation, 2) there is the suggestion of a poorly-resolved resonance in the P-wave spectrum, and perhaps most importantly, 3) the apparently simple S-wave spectra can be fit almost equally well with a surprisingly wide range of seismic corner frequencies, from roughly 5 to 25 Hz. This uncertainty in corner frequency translates into uncertainties in inferred Q values of almost an order of magnitude, and into uncertainties in stress drop of two orders of magnitude. Given the high quality of the data and the short epicentral distance to the station, we consider it likely that resolution of spectral decay and corner frequency will be at least as poor for any other recording of earthquakes with comparable or smaller magnitudes.
A Comparison of Eastern North American ground Motion Observations with Theoretical Predictions
Authors: Atkinson Gail M.
Published: July 2019

Theoretical predictions of eastern North American (ENA) ground motion parameters based on a stochastic model (Boore and Atkinson, 1987; Atkinson and Boore, 1990) are evaluated in light of recent data, including data from the 1988 Saguenay, Quebec earthquake. The evaluation is based on visual comparisons of predicted and observed ground motion amplitudes, and on regression analyses of the data. Data are consistent with the theoretical model on average, although high-frequency ground motions from the Saguenay earthquake are underpredicted. It is hypothesized that differences between the observations and the stochastic model predictions may be explained by the presence of two corner frequencies in the source spectrum. Any single earthquake may exhibit ground motions significantly higher or lower than predicted due to local or earthquake-specific effects not accounted for in predictions of ‘average’ motions.
Possbile Triggering of Earthquakes by Underground Waste Disposal in the El Dorado, Arkansas Area
Authors: Cox Randel Tom
Published: July 2019

From December, 1983 to September, 1989 twelve small earthquakes were recorded for the El Dorado, Arkansas area. Although the hypocenters for these events are poorly defined, the following observations in concert support the conclusion that the quakes were triggered. Prior to 1983 no seismicity was reported in the area, suggesting that the earthquakes were not naturally occurring and may have been the result of human activity. El Dorado is located at the margin of a region of underground waste brine disposal and along a major fault zone. Elevated pore pressures resulting from brine disposal may have reduced the normal stresses across fault surfaces and triggered fault movement.

The two injection wells (Great Lakes Chemical Corporation SWD# 7 and 13) in the El Dorado South field in closest proximity to fault surfaces at the depth of injection also lie at the center of the macroseismic area of a magnitude 2.5 earthquake of December 12, 1988 and show increases in injection rates prior to periods of seismicity. These relationships suggest that pressured fluid injection triggers earthquakes in the area. Seismic energy greatly exceeds injection energy, suggesting that induced earthquakes release tectonic strain.
Waveform Characteristics and Focal Mechanism Solutions of Five Aftershocks of the 1983 Goodnow, New York, Earthquake by Polarization Analysis and Waveform Modeling
Authors: Liu Zuyuan , Herrmarnn Robert. B. , Xie Jiakang , Cranswick E.
Published: July 2019

Waveforms of the direct P-, SV- and SH-waves of five 1983 Goodnow, New York, aftershocks (mb = 1.4–3.1), locally recorded at four hard-rock sites (epicentral distances=1.9–8.0 km) with GEOS systems, were studied to obtain their focal mechanism solutions by waveform fit using both systematic search and moment tensor inversion. Both synthetic and observed data were low-pass filtered at 10 Hz to reduce sensitivity to shallow earth structure. It was discovered that only the first cycle of P-wave and S-wave appear to have pure direct body wave characteristics. The strong P- and S-coda have no stable polarization. The five aftershocks have similar locations, identical P-first motions, but varying direct S-waveforms.

A layered velocity model with a P-wave velocity of 4.4 km/s in the surface layer was derived. Fault plane solutions of four events indicate reverse faulting mechanisms that have a near horizontal P-axis with a strike of ENE. This is similar to the fault plane solution of the mainshock (October 7, 1983, mb = 5.1) and the composite focal mechanism of the aftershocks. Four aftershocks occurred on the fault planes with the strike NW-N and dip of 52°–64° toward NE-E. The fifth event studied has significant strike-slip motion with the P axis is also nearly horizontal and oriented NE. The results of systematic search technique agree well with those of moment tensor inversion. The first motion directions, pulse widths, amplitudes, amplitude ratios and arrival times of the direct P-, SV- and SH-phases of the synthetic seismograms are consistent with those of the observed seismograms. The results of the research demonstrated that the S-wave amplitude can provide important constraints on the focal mechanism.
The Pseudoearthquakes of 21 and 23 February, 1954, in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania
Authors: Scharnberger Charles K.
Published: July 2019

A mine collapse in the city of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, that began on 21 February, 1954, was mistaken for an intensity VII earthquake and an intensity VI aftershock. Although the non-tectonic character of these events has been recognized before now, they continue to show up on lists of significant eastern U.S. earthquakes. The reports of the federal mine inspectors and consulting engineers, made at the time, provide convincing evidence of the true nature of these events. Their misidentification as earthquakes appears to have been due to a number of factors, including inaccurate media reports, an ambiguous statement by a seismologist, the false impression of uplift in the affected area, and a newspaper strike.
Geologic Implications of Earthquake Source Parameters in Central and Eastern North America
Authors: Wheeler Russell L. , Johnston Arch C.
Published: July 2019

The relations between geology and earthquakes remain mostly enigmatic in North America east of the Rocky Mountains. Hypocentral depths and the dips of rupture zones (preferred nodal planes) are among the seismological variables most likely associated with geologic structure in the stable continental region (SCR) of central and eastern North America (CENA). We compiled well-constrained depths and dips for 20 SCR shocks in CENA with magnitudes (M) between 4.9 and 6.8. The appendix lists the values we chose, our reasons for selecting specific values, and the uncertainties associated with each value. The median depth is 10 km, but an aseismic interval from about 15 to 25 km depth separates three midcrustal hypocenters from the others. The median dip of preferred nodal planes is 54°, and the larger earthquakes tend to rupture along shallower dips.

These results combined with geologic evidence lead to four inferences about SCR earthquakes with M≥ 4.9 in CENA. (1) If rupture generally progresses updip, then the tendency for large earthquakes to rupture more shallowly-dipping surfaces than small earthquakes can explain the scarcity of surface ruptures in CENA. (2) The few midcrustal earthquakes might be evidence that mafic or granulite facies rocks are present. (3) CENA seismicity is concentrated in Late Proterozoic and Phanerozoic orogens and extended terranes that rim an older, stable, central craton. Unusually shallow large CENA earthquakes have been observed only in the central craton, where they might cause severe but localized shaking. (4) Earthquakes in the Appalachian orogen tend to be shallower than those of comparable size in the Late Proterozoic rifted continental margin that underlies and borders the northwest side of the orogen. As a result, some Appalachian earthquakes could cause more localized shaking than comparable shocks in the rifted margin.
A Method for Identifying Explosions Contaminating Earthquake Catalogs: Application to the Washington Regional Earthquake Catalog
Authors: Benson R. , Lindholm C. D. , Ludwin R. , Qamar A.
Published: July 2019

The Washington Regional Seismograph Network (WRSN) earthquake catalog shows more earthquakes in the day than at night, probably because some local explosions are misidentified as earthquakes. We have implemented a method to help discriminate likely local blasts from local earthquakes. Probable blasts are identified based on time of occurrence (year, month and hour), magnitude, location, and depth. We have defined thirteen areas in Washington and northern Oregon, with enhanced daytime activity probably due to blasts, and have developed specific time, magnitude, and depth criteria for each area to best identify probable blasts. Except in a few regions, most of the smallest, shallowest events occurring during the day in Washington and northern Oregon are probably blasts.
