From Historical Seismology to seismogenic source models, 20 years on: Excerpts from the Italian experience

Seismogenic source models are unavoidable and a crucial element in seismic hazard studies. A seismogenic source model for Red sea and surrounding areas was constructed. The source model was built up taking into consideration various scientific data sources and logical opinions. A comprehensive model for Red sea and coastal regions of western Saudi Arabia was generated. This model is based on regional geological and tectonic studies, already published seismogenic source models, historical seismicity, recent seismicity, and finally adding up gravity and magnetic studies to construct the final layout of our model. The evaluation of the resources available led to a conclusion for dividing the study area into 23 seismogenic source zones.

AbstractThis paper introduces some levels at which the computer has been incorporated in the research into the basis of electrocardiography. The emphasis lies on the modeling of the heart as an electrical current generator and of the properties of the body as a volume conductor, both playing a major role in the shaping of the electrocardiographic waveforms recorded at the body surface. It is claimed that the Forward-Problem of electrocardiography is no longer a problem. Several source models of cardiac electrical activity are considered, one of which can be directly interpreted in terms of the underlying electrophysiology (the depolarization sequence of the ventricles). The importance of using tailored rather than textbook geometry in inverse procedures is stressed.
