Deep structure of the lithosphere beneath the territory of Bulgaria

Summary Teleseismic P residuals calculated for waves arriving from various azimuths and angles of incidence, and a 3-D inversion of the residuals provided the basis for characterizing the uppermost mantle structure beneath Bulgaria. The Moesian Platform and the Rhodopean Massif are two different blocks characterized by a lithosphere thickness of about 130–140 km with a zone of lithosphere thinning along their contact. Both units have opposite patterns of the directional dependence of relatively high and low P velocities. This directional dependence is interpreted by dipping anisotropic structures in the subcrustal lithosphere, which probably represent remnants of paleosubductions of an old oceanic lithosphere.

Problems in the determination of freshwater dinoflagellates (Dinophyceae)

According to the most recent findings mainly from the life cycles and multiplication of dinoflagellates it is shown that using only the external morphology is not sufficient for the determination of many species nor for the key. Dinoflagellates are characterized by many transient features between protozoa and algae and they cannot be introduced without difficulties.     

Holes in the Hα Eruptive Prominence Structure

The eruptive prominence observed on 27 May 1999 in H at Ondejov Observatory is analyzed using image-processing techniques. To understand the physical processes behind the prominence eruption, heated structures inside the cold H prominence material are sought. Two local minima of intensity (holes), the first above and the second below the erupting H prominence, have been found in the processed H images. A comparison of H images with the SOHO/EIT and Yohkoh/SXT images showed: (a) the cold H prominence is visible as a dark feature in the EIT images, (b) the upper local minimum of intensity in the H image corresponds to a hot structure seen in EIT, (c) the lower minimum corresponds to a hot loop observed by SXT. The physical significance of the H intensity minima and their relation to the hot structures observed by EIT and SXT is discussed. The time sequence of observed processes is in favor of the prominence eruption model with the destabilization of the loop spanning the prominence. For comparison with other events the velocities of selected parts of the eruptive prominence are determined.     

The chemical compositions and surface structures of two roAp stars with lithium spots (HD 83368 and HD 60435)

The spectra of two roAp stars have been analyzed as part of a project to study lithium in magnetic Ap stars. Variability of the Li I 6708 Å resonance doublet and rare-earth lines was detected, which can be explained using an oblique rotator model with the lithium spots located at the magnetic poles. Synthetic spectra obtained at different rotational phases have yielded the first data on the atmospheric chemical compositions of these spotted stars. Using refined atomic data and the most complete line lists has enabled a detailed study of the spectra near the Li I 6708 Å line and computation of the Li I line profile taking into account the spotted distribution of the lithium over the stellar surfaces. The positions of two lithium spots and lithium abundances for each of the spots have been determined.     

An attempt to determine long-periodic variations in the drift of horizontal pendulums

Résumé On donne les résultats de l'analyse de la dérive des pendules horizontaux de la station Píbram-Bezové Hory au cours des années 1927–1938. Différemment aux résultats publiés déjà antérieurement[2], on a tout d'abord séparé par la méthode des moindres carrés la dérive linéaire et le terme à période de durée d'un an exactement et ce n'est que le reste qu'on a analysé par la méthode de l'analyse spectrale spéciale[4, 6]. On a trouvé dans les deux éléments une période de 222, respectivement 223 jours, non considérée jusqu'alors et ne pouvant pas être interprétée jusqu'à présent du point de vue physique. Les autres résultats sont en bon accord avec ceux reçus à l'origine. On peut conclure de la comparaison des phases des composantes annuelles des pendules horizontaux et du mouvement du pôle[5] que les deux événements sont du même origine.
