We have conducted microtremor array measurements to estimate shallow S-wave velocity ([Formula: see text]) structures at two sites (the 921 Earthquake Museum of Taiwan and the Taiwan Provincial Consultative Council) located near surface ruptures of the Chelungpu Fault. Ten stations, consisting of three different-aperture triangles and a central station, are adopted for each array deployment. Using the array data, we calculate dispersion curves of Rayleigh waves using the frequency-wavenumber spectrum method and then estimate [Formula: see text] structures by the surface-wave inversion technique. The obtained 2D [Formula: see text] profiles could clearly show compressive and flexural deformation structures with the surface ruptures located at relatively weak (low [Formula: see text]) zones. This indicates compressive buckling as the most likely mechanism for surface rupturing along these low [Formula: see text] zones. Importantly, this study successfully depicts strata disturbances in a fault fracture zone using microtremor array measurements and forward numerical modeling of trishear fault-propagation folds.

This paper presents an experimental investigation of the use of an optical fiber laser phased array to measure solidified weld pool penetration depth in butt and v-groove joints. The purpose was to determine the optimum distances between the ultrasound source (the array), receiver, and the weld joint, in order to measure weld penetration depth. The relationship between penetration depth and wave amplitude was approximately linear. A narrow range of distances between the ultrasound receiver and weld joint permitted the ultrasonic system to detect penetration depth over the entire thickness of the base metal. Maximum resolution in measuring penetration depth was achieved by keeping the distance between the array and the weld joint as small as possible.

1. The definition of “normal” stars in spectral classification changes with time; at the time of the publication of theYerkes Spectral Atlasthe term “normal” was applied to stars whose spectra could be fitted smoothly into a two-dimensional array. Thus, at that time, weak-lined spectra (RR Lyrae and HD 140283) would have been considered peculiar. At the present time we would tend to classify such spectra as “normal”—in a more complicated classification scheme which would have a parameter varying with metallic-line intensity within a specific spectral subdivision.

An ideal definition of a reference coordinate system should meet the following general requirements:1. It should be as conceptually simple as possible, so its philosophy is well understood by the users.2. It should imply as few physical assumptions as possible. Wherever they are necessary, such assumptions should be of a very general character and, in particular, they should not be dependent upon astronomical and geophysical detailed theories.3. It should suggest a materialization that is dynamically stable and is accessible to observations with the required accuracy.

No paper of this nature should begin without a definition of symbiotic stars. It was Paul Merrill who, borrowing on his botanical background, coined the termsymbioticto describe apparently single stellar systems which combine the TiO absorption of M giants (temperature regime ≲ 3500 K) with He II emission (temperature regime ≳ 100,000 K). He and Milton Humason had in 1932 first drawn attention to three such stars: AX Per, CI Cyg and RW Hya. At the conclusion of the Mount Wilson Ha emission survey nearly a dozen had been identified, and Z And had become their type star. The numbers slowly grew, as much because the definition widened to include lower-excitation specimens as because new examples of the original type were found. In 1970 Wackerling listed 30; this was the last compendium of symbiotic stars published.
