An iterative technique for the removal of artifacts caused by the near field effects of a coded aperture imaging system is presented. The technique, we we call z-Clean, first locates high energy sources within a three dimensional field of view using a least squares method and then removes the...

While optimal rates of convergence in L <Subscript>2</Subscript> for spectral regularization estimators in statistical inverse problems have been much studied, the pointwise asymptotics for these estimators have received very little consideration. Here, we briefly discuss asymptotic expressions for bias and variance...</subscript>

A stochastic geometrical modeling technique is used to reconstruct a laboratory scale Fontainebleau sandstone with a sidelength of 1.5 cm. The model reconstruction is based on crystallite properties and diagenetic parameters determined from two-dimensional images. The three-dimensional pore...

Vertical and horizontal variations of the frequency of crustal earthquakes (h ≤ 35 km) that have occurred in and around Turkey are analyzed, using data from the Global Hypocenter Data Base and the IRIS data for the period 1964–1998. Fits of various magnitude scales to the observations have...

The presence of quarry and mine blasts in seismic catalogues is detected using the Wiemer and Baer (Bull Seism Soc Am 90(2):525–530, <CitationRef CitationID="CR70">2000</CitationRef>) algorithm. The procedure is based on the observation that quarry blasts generally take place during daytime hours: the areas with a high ratio of daytime...</citationref>

Reduction in the scaling exponent of the frequency–magnitude power law of regional seismic activity as a precursor to sizable earthquakes has been widely documented and debated. Recently, postulation based on a modified sand-pile model has been proposed as a plausible explanation. The model...

Reduction in b-values before a large earthquake is a very popular topic for discussion. This study proposes an alternative sandpile model being able to demonstrate reduction in scaling exponents before large events through adaptable long-range connections. The distant connection between two...
