Numerical properties of low-frequency expansions for the reflection and transmission coefficients from transition layers

Summary The numerical properties of the low-frequency expansions for the reflection and transmission coefficients of SH-waves from transition layers, derived in [1], are studied. It is shown that the expansions are suitable for computations only when the thickness d of the transition layer is small in comparison with the wavelength of the incident wave (d0.5). For thicker transition layers, certain modifications of the method are suggested.

An Stratigraphische Hiate gebundene Vererzungen in den Tschechoslowakischen Karpaten

During the course of the geotectonic development of the West Carpathians there were ore mineralisation periods, which are associated with different stratigraphical hiatuses. Hematite-magnetite ore was deposited in the first period between the Silurian and the Devonian. In both the Middle and the Upper Carboniferous, some stratiform siderite deposits originated, which were exploited in the vicinity of Dobiná and Mlynky during about the last 100 years. In the Permian, some haematite occurrences, fossil gold placers and uranium-bearing strata were formed, the last of which was exploited. Some minor haematite occurrences are widespread in the Lower Triassic. The same type of occurrence is known in the Upper Triassic and in the Lower Jurassic, too. In the Jurassic, small occurrences of manganese ore are known. Bauxite occurreces were found in the Middle and Upper Cretaceous, but they are very small. More important are the sedimentary manganese deposits, which were deposited in the Middle Eocene. These were exploited during the last 70 years. The fossil gold placers of the east Slovakian, Paleogene flysch series are very interesting from genetic point of view. The small kaoline, bauxite and silicate-nickel occurrences, which are associated with the alteration processes of basic rocks of different age, were found during the Miocene. The Quaternary period is well known for its gold placers, from which those of the Danube river as well as others were exploited in the past.

Approximate expression for the hilbert transform of a certain class of functions and their application to the ray theory of seismic waves

Summary Approximate expressions for the Hilbert transform of the functionf(t)=exp(- ₀ ² t ²/²) cos( ₀ t+v) are determined. This function, given a suitable choice of the three parameters ₀, and v, approximates a wide class of seismic signals very well. The approximate expressions for the Hilbert transform enable very simple formulae to be given for the elementary seismograms of the individual seismic body waves (in the zero approximation of the ray theory). This accelerates the computation of ray theoretical seismograms considerably.     

Spike-like Bursts as Fine Structure of Zebras

We studied the characteristics of the zebra-associated spike-like bursts that were recorded with high time resolution at 1420 MHz in four intervals (from 12:45 to 12:48 UT) during 5 August 2003. Our detailed analysis is based on the selection of more than 500 such spike-like bursts and it is, at least to our knowledge, the first study devoted to such short-lived bursts. Their characteristics are different from those pertinent to “normal” spike bursts, as presented in the paper by Güdel and Benz (Astron. Astrophys. 231, 202, 1990); in particular, their duration (about 7.4 ms at half power) is shorter, so they should be members of the SSS (super short structures) family (Magdalenić et al., Astrophys. J. 642, L77, 2006). The bursts were generally strongly R-polarized; however, during the decaying part of interval I a low R-polarized and L-polarized bursts were also present. This change of polarization shows a trend that resembles the peculiar form of the zebra lines in the spectral dominion (“V” like). A global statistical analysis on the bursts observed in the two polarimetric channels shows that the highest cross-correlation coefficient (about 0.5) was pertinent to interval I. The zebras and the bursts can be interpreted by the same double plasma resonance process as proposed by Bárta and Karlicky (Astron. Astrophys. 379, 1045, 2001) and Karlicky et al. (Astron. Astrophys. 375, 638, 2001); in particular, the spikes are generated by the interruption of this process by assumed turbulence (density or magnetic field variations). This process should be present in the region close to the reconnection site (e.g., in the plasma reconnection outflows) where the density and the magnetic field vary strongly.     

Light-time computations for the BepiColombo Radio Science Experiment

The Radio Science Experiment is one of the on board experiments of the Mercury ESA mission BepiColombo that will be launched in 2014. The goals of the experiment are to determine the gravity field of Mercury and its rotation state, to determine the orbit of Mercury, to constrain the possible theories of gravitation (for example by determining the post-Newtonian parameters), to provide the spacecraft position for geodesy experiments and to contribute to planetary ephemerides improvement. This is possible thanks to a new technology which allows to reach great accuracies in the observables range and range rate; it is well known that a similar level of accuracy requires studying a suitable model taking into account numerous relativistic effects. In this paper we deal with the modelling of the space-time coordinate transformations needed for the light-time computations and the numerical methods adopted to avoid rounding-off errors in such computations.     

The model of a flat (Euclidean) expansive homogeneous and isotropic relativistic universe in the light of the general relativity,quantum mechanics,and observations

Assuming that the relativistic universe is homogeneous and isotropic, we can unambiguously determine its model and physical properties, which correspond with the Einstein general theory of relativity (and with its two special partial solutions: Einstein special theory of relativity and Newton gravitation theory), quantum mechanics, and observations, too.     

Manifestations of the North – South Asymmetry in the Photosphere and in the Green Line Corona

The north – south asymmetries (NSA) of three solar activity indices are derived and mutually compared over a period of more than five solar cycles (1945 – 2001). A catalogue of the hemispheric sunspot numbers, the data set of the coronal green line brightness developed by us, and the magnetic flux derived from the NSO/KP data (1975 – 2001) are treated separately within the discrete low- and mid-latitude zones (5° – 30°, 35° – 60°). The calculated autocorrelations, cross-correlations, and regressions between the long-term NSA data sets reveal regularities in the solar activity phenomenon. Namely, the appearance of a distinct quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) is evident in all selected activity indices. Nevertheless, a smooth behavior of QBO is derived only when sufficient temporal averaging is performed over solar cycles. The variation in the significance and periodicity of QBO allows us to conclude that the QBO is not persistent over the whole solar cycle. A similarity in the photospheric and coronal manifestations of the NSA implies that their mutual relation will also show the QBO. A roughly two-year periodicity is actually obtained, but again only after significant averaging over solar cycles. The derived cross-correlations are in fact variable in degree of correlation as well as in changing periodicity. A clear and significant temporal shift of 1 – 2 months in the coronal manifestation of the magnetic flux asymmetry relative to the photospheric manifestation is revealed as a main property of their mutual correlation. This shift can be explained by the delayed large-scale coronal manifestation in responding to the emergence of the magnetic flux in the photosphere. The reliability of the derived results was confirmed by numerical tests performed by selecting different numerical values of the used parameters.
