Terrestrial heat flow in Hungarian Permian strata

Summary Latest measurements of terrestrial heat flow in the Hungarian and Russian parts of the Carpathian basin confirm previously measured high flow values between 2.0–3.3 cal/cm² sec. Recent measurement in the Permian anticline structure of the Mecseck. Mts. in Hungary gave 2.4 cal/cm²sec, whereas in the Russian part of the basin, near to the Hungarian border 2.6 cal/cm² sec was measured in Miocene sediments. For more than 100000 km² surface of the Carpathian basin covered by Hungary and parts of Slovakia and Russian the high heat flow is an established fact.

Erfahrungen mit dem automatischen Kondensationskernzähler

Zusammenfassung Es wird über Erfahrungen mit einem früher an dieser Stelle beschriebenen automatischen Kondensationskernzähler berichtet und speziell die Abhängigkeit der gemessenen Kernzahl von Expansionsgrad, Temperatur und relativer Feuchtigkeit untersucht, sowie die Einstellung einer konstanten Empfindlichkeit beschrieben.

Summary Experiments are reported with the automatic condensation nuclei counter, which has already been described in this review. Adjustment for a constant sensitivity is described. The dependence of the number of nuclei upon the degree of expansion, temperature and relative humidity is especially studied.

Résumé L'article rapporte des expériences faites avec un compteur automatique de noyaux de condensation, qui auparavant déjà a été décrit dans cette revue. Il examine en particulier la dépendance du nombre des noyaux mesuré du degré d'expansion, de la température et de l'humidité relative et décrit aussi la mise au point d'une sensibilité constante.

Effect of Aftershocks on Earthquake Hazard Estimation: An Example from the North Anatolian Fault Zone

In order to investigate the effect of aftershocks on earthquake hazard estimation, earthquake hazard parameters (_m, b and M_max) have been estimated by the maximum likelihood method from the main shocks catalogue and the raw earthquakes catalogue for the North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ). The main shocks catalogue has been compiled from the raw earthquake catalogue by eliminating the aftershocks using the window method. The raw earthquake catalogue consisted of instrumentally detected earthquakes between 1900 and 1992, and historical earthquakes that occurred between 1000–1900. For the events of the mainshock catalogue the Poisson process is valid and for the raw earthquake catalogue it does not fit. The paper demonstrates differences in the hazard outputs if on one hand the main catalogues and on the other hand the raw catalogue is used. The maximum likelihood method which allows the use of the mixed earthquake catalogue containing incomplete (historical) and complete (instrumental) earthquake data is used to determine the earthquake hazard parameters. The maximum regional magnitude (M_max, the seismic activity rate (_m), the mean return period (R) and the b value of the magnitude-frequency relation have been estimated for the 24°–31° E, 31°–41° E, 41°–45° E sections of the North Anatolian Fault Zone from the raw earthquake catalogue and the main shocks catalogue. Our results indicate that inclusion of aftershocks changes the b value and the seismic activity rate _m depending on the proportion of aftershocks in a region while it does not significantly effect the value of the maximum regional magnitude since it is related to the maximum observed magnitude. These changes in the earthquake hazard parameters caused the return periods to be over- and underestimated for smaller and larger events, respectively.     

Flexible Automatic Scheduling for Autonomous Telescopes: The MAJORDOME

We have developped a new method for the scheduling ofastronomical automatic telescopes, in the framework of theautonomous TAROT instrument. The MAJORDOME software canhandle a variety of observations, constrained, periodic,etc., and produces a timeline for the night, which may bemodified at any time to take into account the specificconditions of the night. The MAJORDOME can also handletarget of opportunity observations without delay.     

North-south asymmetries in the green corona brightness between 1947 and 1976

The north-south asymmetry has been studied using the green emission corona brightness in the period of 1947–1976. (N - S)/(N + S) values are constructed with the 5-deg opposite coronal belts brightnesses between ± 5 and ± 60 deg. Power spectra analyses were performed to study periodicities of these (N - S)/(N + S) values. Two noticeable periodicities (14.5 and 5 yr) have been found.
