Macroseismic Information

Since 1989 the Servei Geològic de Catalunya has been collecting macroseismic information of the North East of Spain and the South of France to create a comprehensive and reliable Catalogue which would be of use in seismic hazard assessment. Existing compilations have been submitted to a critical analysis and comparison, bearing in mind the resu1ts of recent historical research. For the seismicity of the present century macroseismic information is being studied by analyzing the original questionnaires. For each earthquake the felt intensities are stored on a data bank system. Due to the geographic location of the area under scrutiny, near the French border, collaboration with French agencies has been necessary to achieve joint information for Pyrenean earthquakes. Ancient instrumental records taken in two observatories (FBR and EBR) working since the beginning of this century have helped to determine focal parameters.

The Look

The idea envisaged under the Look East Policy was to interact and build relationships with our immediate strategic neighbourhood in the east, namely Myanmar, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Thailand. It was believed that trade with the neighbouring countries would resurrect the economies of the border-states in the region, bringing peace and stability. The objective of the policy predominantly focuses on the regional economic integration with renewed emphasis on the development of the North East Region of India. Most recently, development of the North Eastern Region has been the need of the hour and the Look East Policy for the advancement of the Region is Initiating a number of substantive endeavours. One among the several geostrategic imperatives that necessitate the development of North East Region is the border it shares with Myanmar. It was perceived if ASEAN was gateway to wider Asia Pacific Region, Myanmar was a land bridge to ASEAN and North East Region the gateway to Myanmar. In spite of being at a congenial geographic location to grasp the benefits from Indo-ASEAN cooperation the North East Region is cited as one of the remote landlocked regions of vibrant Indian Economy that has miserably failed to taste the fruits of development. This paper discusses how Look East Policy is fundamentally induced to diminish India’s internal development disparity by promoting the significance of the North east as gateway to east; to critically analyse the reasons for major disconnect between Look East Policy’s vision and ground realities so far as north east is concerned and to devise possible policy solutions for greater engagement and development of the region so that it will not remain just a corridor.

We consider the May 23, 2014 Muyakan earthquake (Mw=5.5) occurred in the Muyakan Range at the north-east of the Baikal rift zone near the eastern tunnel portal of the Baikal-Amur Mainline. This event was followed by numerous aftershocks (КР=5.6–9.9) which number exceeded 2000 by the end of the year. Spatio-temporal analysis of the Muyakan seismic sequence shows that its epicentral field consists of two isolated clusters: eastern and western ones. All the main events including the foreshocks, main shock and the strongest aftershocks (Mw=4.4; 4.5) occurred in the eastern cluster while only small seismic events (КР<10.0) were recorded in the western one. Seismic moment tensor was calculated for the Muyakan earthquake from surface wave amplitude spectra. As a result, we obtained information about the rift type focal mechanism, scalar seismic moment (M0=1.9•1017 Nm), moment magnitude (Mw=5.5) and hypocentral depth (h=24 km). From regional data, hypocentral depths of the main shock and the major number of the following earthquakes (80 %) were distributed in the depth range h=3–11 km. Maximum intensity of the main shock (4–5 according to MSK-64) was felt in Severomuysk urban village (=29 km). The obtained results could be used for seismic hazard assessment of the crucial part of the Baikal-Amur Mainline.

ABSTRACTThe European wildcat (Felis silvestris silvestris) is threatened across the totality of its area of distribution by hybridization with the domestic cat F.s. catus. The underlying ecological processes promoting hybridization, remain largely unknown. In France, wildcats are mainly present in the North-East but signs of their presence in the Pyrenees have been recently provided. However, no studies have been carried out in the French Pyrenees to assess the genetic status of wildcats. We have compared a local population of wildcats living in a continuous habitat in the French Pyrenees and a local population of wildcats living in a fragmented habitat in Northeastern France to evaluate how habitat fragmentation influence the population structure of European wildcats. Close kin were not found in the same geographic location contrary to what was observed for females in the Northeastern wildcat population. Furthermore, there was no evidence of hybridization in the Pyrenean wildcats and only one domestic cat raised suspicions while hybridization was categorically detected in northeastern France. The two wildcat populations were significantly differentiated (Fst = 0.08) and the genetic diversity of the Pyrenean wildcats was lower than that of other wildcat populations in France and in Europe. Taken together, these results suggest that habitat fragmentation, and in particular the absence of agricultural fields, may play an important role in lowering the probability of hybridization by reducing the likelihood of contact with domestic cats. Moreover, our results suggest that the French Pyrenean wildcat populations is isolated and may be threatened by a lack of genetic diversity.

Excavations at Castlebank Street, Partick between the Clyde and the Kelvin Rivers revealed some archaeological features. The earliest was a Roman/Iron Age ditch, dated to the second to third century AD. Medieval activity on the site included a large north-east/south-west oriented ditch with a culvert and a slightly later substantial stone wall. In addition, a stone-lined well was located and a small ditch with associated features in the north of the excavated area. These features spanned the beginning of the eleventh to the end of the fourteenth century. A limited range of material culture, mainly medieval and later medieval local pottery, with some glass and animal bone was associated with the fills of the larger ditch, culvert and wall. Historical research revealed a complex history surrounding the establishment of the Bishop of Glasgow's country estate and manor house (the early castle?) and its subsequent demolition. However, it has been difficult to match the archaeological evidence with the historical documentation mainly due to nineteenth century use of the area for a foundry and laundry, as well as the insertion of South Orchard Street, which did much to obliterate evidence from earlier periods.

We consider the April 27, 2014, Mw=4.9 Dzhirga earthquake, occurred within the north-eastern end of the Barguzin Depression. The event is the second one by energy level in the study area for the period of instrumental observations. The earthquake was followed by an aftershock sequence of 75 weak shocks recorded till the end of the year. The focal mechanism was determined from surface wave records from 13 digital broadband seismic stations of the IRIS networks. The obtained solution demonstrates the normal fault kinematics with both nodal planes striking north-east that corresponds to the regional fault pattern. The focal depth is estimated equal to 19 km. The maximum observed intensity was 5 points on the MSK-64 scale at the epicentral distance of 13 km. The Dzhirga earthquake analysis made it possible to fill in the lack of seismological information about the study area. The data obtained can be used for refinement of seismic hazard assessment of the north of the Barguzin Basin.

Ras a1 Khaimah is the most northerly of the seven states comprising the United Arab Emirates and its Ruler, H. H. Sheikh Saqr bin Mohammad al-Qasimi, is keenly interested in the history of the state and its people. Survey carried out there jointly with Dr D. B. Doe in 1968 had focused attention on the site of JuIfar which lies just north of the present town of Ras a1 Khaimah (de Cardi, 1971, 230-2). Julfar was in existence in Abbasid times and its importance as an entrep6t during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries-the Portuguese Period-is reflected by the quantity and variety of imported wares to be found among the ruins of the city. Most of the sites discovered during the survey dated from that period but a group of cairns near Ghalilah and some long gabled graves in the Shimal area to the north-east of the date-groves behind Ras a1 Khaimah (map, FIG. I) clearly represented a more distant past.
