Marktdesign für eine resiliente Impfstoff-produktion
Authors: Ockenfels Axel 
Published: June 2021

Zusammenfassung
Manche Märkte erlauben es auf sich alleine gestellt nicht, robuste Krisenvorsorge zu treffen. Der Markt für Impfstoffe gehört dazu. Der Preismechanismus versagt besonders in der Krise, wenn beide Marktseiten große Marktmacht besitzen. Daher muss interveniert werden, um die Impfstoffproduktion zuverlässiger zu machen. Axel Ockenfels entwickelt ein hybrides Marktdesign, das auf Kapazitätspreise und Leistungspreise setzt, um den systemischen Herausforderungen einer globalen Krisensituation mit ihren politischen, ökonomischen und sozialen Verwerfungen zu begegnen. Das hybride Modell erlaubt einen gleitenden Übergang von normalen Zeiten in den Krisenmodus – und wieder zurück.
The Placebo Drama of the Asclepius Cult
Authors: Panagiotidou Olympia 
Published: June 2021

AbstractAsclepius was one of the most popular healing deities in Graeco-Roman antiquity. Patients suffering from various diseases resorted to his sanctuaries, the so-called asclepieia, looking for cure. Many inscriptions preserve stories of supplicants who slept in theabatonof the temples and claimed that they had been healed or received remedies from the god. The historical study may take into consideration modern (neuro)cognitive research on the placebo effects in order to examine the possibilities of actual healing experiences at the asclepeiea. In this paper, I take into account the theoretical premises of theplacebo dramatheory suggested by Ted Kaptchuk in order to explore the specific factors, including the personality of Asclepius, his patients’ mindsets, the relationship between them, the nature of the supplicants’ impairments, the employed or prescribed treatments and the ritual settings of the cult, which could have mediated health recovery, and contributed to the phenomenal success of the Asclepian therapies via the activation of patients’ placebo responses.

Published: June 2021

Kurzfassung
Während die Nachtökonomie in Städten und Urlaubsorten wichtige Einnahmen und Beschäftigung generiert, stellen ihre negativen Begleiterscheinungen häufig erhebliche Probleme dar. Viele Städte versuchen daher, ihre Nachtökonomien zu regulieren oder durch öffentliche Kampagnen zu beeinflussen. Die Auswirkungen solcher Kampagnen und Regulierungen sind allerdings wenig untersucht und umstritten. Aufbauend auf Arbeiten zu touristischen Nachtökonomien untersucht und diskutiert dieser Beitrag am Beispiel des britischen Urlaubsorts Newquay die Wirkung unterschiedlicher Maßnahmen.
Effects of Severe Sleep Disruption on the Synaptic Ultrastructure of Young Mice

Published: June 2021

AbstractThere is molecular, electrophysiological, and ultrastructural evidence that a net increase in synaptic strength occurs in many brain circuits during spontaneous wake (SW) or short sleep deprivation, reflecting ongoing learning. Sleep leads instead to a broad but selective weakening of many forebrain synapses, thus preventing synaptic saturation and decreasing the energy cost of synaptic activity. Whether synaptic potentiation can persist or further increase after long sleep deprivation is unknown. Whether synaptic renormalization can occur during chronic sleep restriction (CSR) is also unknown. Here, we addressed these questions by measuring an established ultrastructural measure of synaptic strength, the axon-spine interface (ASI), in the primary motor cortex (M1) of (1) one-month-old adolescent mice CSR using a paradigm that decreases NREM and REM sleep by two/thirds; (2) in two-week-old mouse pups sleep deprived for 15 h, or allowed afterward to recover for 16 h. Both groups were compared with mice of the same age that were asleep or awake for a few hours (both sexes). The ASI size of CSR mice (n = 3) was comparable to that measured after SW or short sleep deprivation and larger than after sleep (n = 4/group). In pups, the ASI size increased after short sleep loss (n = 3) relative to sleep (n = 4), fell below sleep levels after long sleep deprivation (n = 4), and remained low after recovery (n = 3). Long sleep deprived pups also lost some weight. These results suggest that (1) severe sleep restriction is incompatible with synaptic renormalization; (2) very young mice cannot maintain high synaptic strength during prolonged wake.
Bacillariophyta of the Yavorivsky National Park, Broadleaf Forest Zone of Ukraine, including Сaloneis albus-columba, sp. nov.
Authors: Bukhtiyarova L. N. 
Published: June 2021

Diatoms (Bacillariophyta) are one of the major biological components in all kinds of aquatic ecosystems both in freshwater and marine ones. The nature reserve fund of Ukraine includes 52 national parks, in the vast majority of which Bacillariophyta have not been studied. This investigation presents first data on the diatoms in Yavorivsky National Park located in Lviv region. The material consists of the epiphytic samples of microalgae that were collected from different substrates in aquatic ecosystems of the Yavorivsky National Park in 2014. In the hydrotopes of the park 180 diatom species from 56 genera were found, among them Achnanthidium catenatum (Bily & Marvan) Lange-Bertalot, Cymbopleura apiculata Krammer, Fallacia sublucidula (Hustedt) D. G. Mann in Round, Crawford & Mann, Gomphonema lagenula Kützing, G. supersedens Reichardt, G. pseudopusillum Reichardt, Paraplaconeis minor (Grunow) Lange-Bertalot, Placoneis constans (Hustedt) E. J. Cox, Psammothidium bioretii (Germain) Bukhtiyarova & Round, P. vernadskyi Bukhtiyarova et Stanislavskaya, Sellaphora gracillima Zidarova, Kopalová & Van de Vijver, S. insolita (Manguin) Hamilton et Antoniades, Stauroneis fluminopsis Van de Vijver et Lange-Bertalot were recorded for the first time in Ukraine. Besides that, Amphora hemicycla Stoermer & J. J. Yang and Sellaphora bacilloides (Hustedt) Levkov, Krstic & Nakov also were new findings in the country from the Broadleaf Forest Zone of Ukraine. Many species rare in the world flora and in Ukraine were found. A new diatom species Сaloneis albus-columba Bukhtiyarova, sp. nov., was described from the pond in stationary recreation area Kozulka. This new species possesses strongly three-undulate valves with three rhombic segments, which in morphology is most similar to Caloneis lamella Zakrzewski, however it differs from it by having rhombic distal valve segments instead of oval ones as well as noticeably smaller width of the central valve segment. The morphology of other similar species is discussed. For proper description of the new species new definitions for the raphe system morphology were grounded on functional morphology of the diatom frustule. New combinations Iconella alaskaensis (Foged) Bukhtiyarova, comb. et stat. nov., Iconella baltica (Schumann) Bukhtiyarova, comb. nov., Iconella brebissonii (Krammer & Lange-Bertalot) Bukhtiyarova, comb. nov., Iconella brightwellii (W. Smith) Bukhtiyarova, comb. nov., Iconella constricta (Grunow) Bukhtiyarova, comb. et stat. nov., Iconella didyma (Kützing) Bukhtiyarova, comb. nov. and Iconella elegans (Ehrenberg) Bukhtiyarova, comb. nov. were formally proposed. The lectotype for Eunotia glacialis F. Meister was designated here. Illustrations with light and scanning electron microscopy are presented. A primary inventory of Bacillariophyta and their subsequent study on protected territories in Ukraine is still an important task in the context of preservation of biodiversity of the country.
Source and scatering effects on the spectra of small local earthquakes
Authors: Aki Keiiti 
Published: June 2021

AbstractIn order to separate the scattering effect from the source effect on high-frequency seismic waves, the spectra of S and coda waves are studied simultaneously for 900 small earthquakes (magnitude 3 to 4) in the Kanto region, Japan. The observed S-wave spectrum is the source spectrum modified by the attenuation and forward-scattering effect, while the coda spectrum is the source spectrum modified by the attenuation and back-scattering effect. From previous studies (Aki, 1980a, b) on the same data set, we know about the attenuation effect. Comparing the S-wave spectrum with the coda spectrum, we find that our data are consistent with the source spectrum with corner frequencies 3 to 6 Hz, and high-frequency decay ω−1 to ω−2, and support the hypothesis that scattering is the major cause of attenuation of S waves in the lithosphere, in which the small-scale Rayleigh scattering (Q−1 ∝ f3) applies to frequencies lower than 3 Hz and the large-scale scattering (Q−1 ∝ f0∼−1) to higher frequencies. The high-frequency decay of the source spectrum appears to be somewhat steeper for shallower earthquakes. We found that two areas with significantly different tectonic features shared similar attenuation and source effects, but showed very different envelopes of seismograms due to different forward-scattering effects. The forward-scattering effect may be the most sensitive to the structural difference.
Procedures for computing focal mechanisms from local (SV/P)zdata
Authors: Kisslinger Carl , Bowman J. Roger , Koch Karl 
Published: June 2021

AbstractA procedure for calculating the focal mechanism of an earthquake from the distribution of the ratio of the amplitudes of SV to P waves has been developed and tested. The input consists of information taken from the hypocenter solution for the earthquake, a factor for each station that corrects for the effect of the free surface on the observed wave amplitudes and the observed values of the ratio of the vertical component of P to the vertical component of SV. The procedure starts with the selection of a slip direction. The program then finds the best fault strike and dip corresponding to that slip direction, with “best” measured by the smallest scatter of the dip for any strike. All three fault parameters are then adjusted by an iterative least-squares adjustment. (SV/P)z is a strongly nonlinear function of the fault parameters, so the solution found by the procedure is inherently nonunique. The acceptable solutions can be quite well constrained if the slip direction can be estimated initially on the basis of independent information.A variety of tests of the procedure have been carried out on real and synthetic data. Given a set of amplitude data for an earthquake in Bear Valley, California, and told only that the mode of slip was predominantly strike-slip, the program “found” the San Andreas fault, i.e., converged to a fault with strike and dip close to the known values. Further work on a German earthquake served to bring out some of the ambiguities of the solutions. Analysis of data from a brief swarm of earthquakes in southwest Germany showed that the method yields useful mechanisms for small events and revealed a rotation of the focal mechanisms during the swarm. Processing of amplitudes from synthetic seismograms gave a fault plane close to the known input, but marked disagreement between the SV amplitudes on the synthetic seismograms and the amplitudes predicted by simple dislocation theory is unresolved.
Seismic phases and scaling associated with small high-explosive surface shots
Authors: Gupta I. N. , Hartenberger R. A. 
Published: June 2021

AbstractAn analysis of seismic field data from surface shots in two radically different geologic environments shows significantly different seismic phases at the two sites. At the first site, which has a layered sedimentary section, five distinct phases are observed: the P-wave first arrival; a complex wave train consisting of higher mode Rayleigh waves; a precursor to air-blast wave; the air blast wave; and the air-coupled Rayleigh waves. Records from the second site, overlying an unlayered mass of igneous rocks, show only three distinct seismic phases: the P-wave first arrival; a simple wave train of fundamental-mode Rayleigh and Love waves; and an air blast wave. Peak ground velocity, based on the average of the three largest amplitudes in the surface waves preceding the air blast wave, scales well with yield for both sites. Measurements of peak ground velocity may be used to estimate yields of explosive charges at either site within a factor of about 2 if the source distance is known. The scaling relationship appears to be valid over a wide range of yields and site geological conditions.
S-wave observations in the Franciscan terrane, central California
Authors: Levander Alan R. , Kovach Robert L. 
Published: June 2021

AbstractWe have examined S-wave arrivals from local earthquakes at a three-station seismograph array in the Franciscan terrane of the Diablo Range, California. A single crustal S-wave phase is observed with a velocity of 3.30 km/sec. Poisson's ratio calculated for the crust from a composite Wadati diagram is 0.27. Beyond epicentral distances of 90 km we have tentatively identified an Sn phase with a velocity of 4.35 km/sec. Other investigators have reported a Pn velocity of 8.0 km/sec corresponding to an upper mantle Poisson's ratio of 0.29.The 3.30 km/sec crustal S-wave velocity is intermediate in value between crustal S-wave velocities measured in similar terranes 75 km north at Berkeley and 90 km south at Bear Valley, suggesting a NW-SE crustal S-wave velocity gradient east of the San Andreas fault in the Franciscan terrane. This may be indicative of an increase in crustal rigidity from southeast to northwest, possibly associated with the differing levels of seismic activity observed along portions of the San Andreas fault.
Fault plane solutions for northeastern United States earthquakes
Authors: Pulli Jay J. , Toksöz M. Nafi 
Published: June 2021

Abstract
Fault plane solutions for eight earthquakes occurring in the northeastern United States have been determined using P-wave first motions and a computer algorithm for picking all valid solutions. The predominant mechanism in the area is thrust faulting, however the direction of the P axis is not consistent throughout the entire area. In central New England (Maine-New Hampshire), the P axis trends nearly E-W. In southeastern New England, the P axis trends N-S to NE-SW. In the Adirondacks region of New York, the P axis trends NE-SW as previously reported by Yang and Aggarwal (1981). Although the stress distribution appears to be complicated, as in the Central United States (Street et al., 1974), an underlying E-W compressive stress may exist in the New England area. These small earthquakes may represent the response to local stress concentrations.
Evidence for contemporary vertical fault displacement from precise leveling data near the New Madrid seismic zone, western Kentucky
Authors: Schilt F. Steve , Reilinger Robert E. 
Published: June 2021

AbstractRelative vertical displacements of bench marks in extreme western Kentucky have been determined by comparison of successive leveling surveys in 1947 and 1968. The resulting pattern of apparent surface deformation shows steep offset which can be closely modeled by a normal fault buried in an elastic half-space. The offset is located near the northern boundary of the Mississippi Embayment and the New Madrid seismic zone, an area where faults have previously been inferred on the basis of both geological and geophysical evidence. If the apparent movement is due to slip along a fault, several lines of evidence (regional structure, earthquake data, and lineations) suggest that the postulated fault trends NNE. Thirteen earthquakes were recorded in this area between the times of leveling; focal mechanisms exist for three of these. The nearest of these three focal mechanisms to the leveling offset implies normal faulting. The magnitude of the earthquake, however, appears to be too small to account for the amount of slip required by the fault model. Thus the apparent deformation may have accumulated with several undetected small earthquakes, or gradually as aseismic creep.
Attenuation relations for strong seismic ground motion in Canada
Authors: Hasegawa H. S. , Basham P. W. , Berry M. J. 
Published: June 2021

AbstractStrong seismic ground motion attenuation relations based primarily on Western United States data, in conjunction with intensity data from eastern and western Canada, are employed to derive new attenuation relations for horizontal strong seismic ground motion for application throughout Canada. The following peak acceleration (ap) and peak velocity (vp) relations are proposed for use in western Canadaa p ( cm sec − 2 ) = 10 e 1.3 M R − 1.5 v p ( cm sec − 1 ) = 0.00040 e 2.3 M R − 1.3where M is magnitude and R hypocentral distance (km). The difference in the distance attenuation of Modified Mercalli intensity in eastern and western Canada, and an assumption of equivalent strong motion in the near field in the two regions, is applied to the western relations to derive the following relations proposed for use in eastern Canadaa p ( cm sec − 2 ) = 3.4 e 1.3 M R − 1.1 v p ( cm sec − 1 ) = 0.00018 e 2.3 M R − 1.0 .The proposed relations are in reasonable agreement with the small amount of strong motion data available for western and eastern Canada. Within the accuracy justified by very scattered experimental data, peak vertical and sustained horizontal acceleration and velocity can be estimated as 23 of the peak horizontal values.The magnitude and distance dependence of acceleration and velocity parameters are sufficiently different that the relative levels of ground motion bounds in different frequency ranges will depend on the dominant magnitudes of, and distance ranges to, the earthquakes contributing risk in various regions of Canada. The results indicate the importance of mapping risk for parameters in addition to simple peak acceleration, and suggest alternative methods of deriving ground motion bounds required for the development of design response spectra.
Peak horizontal acceleration and velocity from strong-motion records including records from the 1979 imperial valley, California, earthquake
Authors: Joyner William B. , Boore David M. 
Published: June 2021

AbstractWe have taken advantage of the recent increase in strong-motion data at close distances to derive new attenuation relations for peak horizontal acceleration and velocity. This new analysis uses a magnitude-independent shape, based on geometrical spreading and anelastic attenuation, for the attenuation curve. An innovation in technique is introduced that decouples the determination of the distance dependence of the data from the magnitude dependence. The resulting equations arelog A = − 1.02 + 0.249 M − log r − 0.00255 r + 0.26 P r = ( d 2 + 7.3 2 ) 1 / 2 5.0 ≦ M ≦ 7.7 log V = − 0.67 + 0.489 M − log r − 0.00256 r + 0.17 S + 0.22 P r = ( d 2 + 4.0 2 ) 1 / 2 5.3 ≦ M ≦ 7.4where A is peak horizontal acceleration in g, V is peak horizontal velocity in cm/ sec, M is moment magnitude, d is the closest distance to the surface projection of the fault rupture in km, S takes on the value of zero at rock sites and one at soil sites, and P is zero for 50 percentile values and one for 84 percentile values.We considered a magnitude-dependent shape, but we find no basis for it in the data; we have adopted the magnitude-independent shape because it requires fewer parameters.
Modeling and detecting interactions between earth tides and earthquakes with application to an aftershock sequence in the Pyrenees
Authors: Souriau Marc , Souriau Annie , Gagnepain Jannine 
Published: June 2021

abstractAssuming that earthquakes are governed by solid friction and that the fault plane solutions are known, a simplified model of correlation between the seismicity and a specified component of the tidal stress is proposed. In the case of an earthquake sequence with a uniform time distribution and with a prevailing focal mechanism, a test of statistical significance is derived from a binomial probability distribution.This interaction model is checked over the aftershock sequence of a magnitude 5 earthquake which occurred within a seismic array in the Pyrenees on 29 February 1980. The tidal stress field, including the ocean tide effect, is computed for this area. The global time decrease of the seismicity is taken into account by a time transformation. In order to deal with the time and space complexity of the stress field, a moving window analysis is used. It is shown that during one 7-day period out of a total of 30 days, a positive correlation appears between earth tides and seismicity, in agreement with the proposed model.
P-wave complexity and fault asperities: The Borrego Mountain, California, earthquake of 1968
Authors: Ebel John E. , Helmberger Donald V. 
Published: June 2021

AbstractResults from a synthetic seismogram analysis of the short-period P waves from the Borrego Mountain earthquake of 9 April 1968 (ML = 6.4) are used to model the strong-motion recording at El Centro. A short-period-long-period deconvolution analysis of the teleseismic P waves suggested that a two-source model would fit the data much better than the single-source model presented by Burdick and Mellman (1976). Forward and inverse modeling of the data demonstrated that two sources, each of less than 2-sec duration, the second occurring 2.2 sec after the first and both being at about 8-km depth, best fit the short-period waveforms. From this model, long-period synthetics were generated which were found to be quite compatible with the data. This source model was also used to synthesize the strong-motion SH displacement, velocity, and acceleration records from El Centro, California. The close match of synthetics and data is used to argue that short-period waveforms contain much information about asperities which play a crucial role in the near-source strong motions from an earthquake. The Borrego Mountain event probably began with the failure of a fault asperity. The evidence for this is the several-hundred-bars stress drops of the two short-period sources and the probable location of these sources in a place where there was almost no aftershock activity or postseismic creep on the fault.
Estimation of the peak horizontal ground acceleration based on peak accelerations of the components
Authors: Mostaghel N. , Ahmadi G. 
Published: June 2021

Abstract
Lower and upper bounds of the peak horizontal ground acceleration are obtained through the consideration of the peak accelerations of two horizontal orthogonal components of the ground motion. Since the bounded region is relatively narrow, it is proposed to use the mean of the upper and lower bound accelerations as the peak horizontal ground acceleration. This mean value is equal to 1.20 times the larger peak acceleration of the two horizontal components of the ground motion. To support the proposed value, a simplified statistical analysis is also employed which results in a mean plus one standard deviation value for the peak horizontal ground acceleration of 1.24 times the larger peak acceleration. These conclusions are also supported by comparison with 50 pairs of earthquake acceleration records. For the resultant acceleration, the 50 pairs of records yield a mean plus one standard deviation estimate of the order of 1.20 times the larger peak acceleration.
