3 Title: Moment-tensor inversion of earthquakes in Greece, method ISOLA Author: Dana Červinková Department: Department of Geophysics Supervisor: Prof. RNDr. Jiří Zahradník, DrSc. Supervisor's e-mail address: jz@karel.troja.mff.cuni.cz Abstract: The possibility of obtaining a reliable moment tensor using a low-frequency waveform inversion from a single seismic station is studied. Deviatoric part of the moment tensor is described in usual way, using its orientation (angles strike, dip, rake), scalar seismic moment M0 and the double-couple percentage (DC%), and also by means of the coefficients of linear combination of elementary mechanisms. We estimate the formal error of the coefficients and study conditionality of the inverse problem. Data from earthquakes Trichonis (Mw = 5.2, April 2007) and Leonidio (Mw = 6.2, January 2008), Greece, are processed using software ISOLA (Sokos and Zahradník). The moment tensor is calculated from many stations and its stability is tested. This reference solution is compared to those independently obtained from single stations. Synthetic tests are performed to understand why the single-station estimates are sufficient for Trichonis, but not for Leonidio, paying attention to the focal depth, station azimuth and epicentral distance. It is found that the depth is crucial at...

Sendo assim, verifica-se a necessidade de estudos relativos ao desempenho termof?sico/mec?nico de comp?sitos desta espuma com rejeitos do beneficiamento da scheelita e do polimento do gr?s porcelanato para fins de isola??o t?rmica. Esta pesquisa objetivou desenvolver comp?sitos de poliuretano de mamona (PURM) com cargas de rejeitos de porcelanato (PRP) e scheelita (PRS) que possam ser utilizados como isolantes t?rmicos alternativos, visando ? redu??o de custos e consumo de mat?ria-prima, al?m de contribuir com o desenvolvimento sustent?vel dessas ind?strias. No estudo utilizou-se micropart?culas PRS e PRP para o desenvolvimento e caracteriza??o de comp?sitos de PURM. Estes comp?sitos foram caracterizados termofisicamente a partir de ensaios de condutividade t?rmica, calor espec?fico, difusividade t?rmica e termogravimetria. Propriedades como massa espec?fica, resist?ncia ? compress?o e dureza tamb?m foram analisadas nos comp?sitos PURM+PRS e PURM+ PRP. As estruturas celulares destes comp?sitos de PURM foram analisadas pelas t?cnicas de MEV (Microscopia Eletr?nica de Varredura) com microan?lise qu?mica EDS (Espectroscopia por Energia Dispersiva de Raios X). Verificou-se que os melhores comp?sitos com propriedades isolantes foram PURM+5PRP125 e PURM+5PRP300-600 por possu?rem menor condutividade t?rmica. O mesmo ocorreu para os comp?sitos de PURM+5PRS, tamb?m para ambos os tamanhos de part?culas (125 ?m e entre 300 a 600 ?m). Entretanto, comparando a efici?ncia de isola??o t?rmica baseada nos menores valores de condutividade t?rmica e maior calor espec?fico, tem-se o comp?sito PURM+5PRP125 como o que apresentou um comportamento t?rmico mais pr?ximo ao do PURM-Puro e cuja isola??o t?rmica foi maior que a dos demais comp?sitos de PURM e tamb?m dos isolantes t?rmicos comerciais (l? de rocha, l? de vidro, EPS, etc.). / The use of a polyurethane foam from a renewable source, as the case of the foam from the castor oil and addition of waste (scheelite and porcelain stoneware) plentiful in the northeast region of Brazil, would represent a reduction of consume in limited source foam. Due to this, it is verified the necessity of studies concerning to the thermophysical/mechanical performance of this foam composites with both the scheelite processing and polishing porcelain stoneware wastes for thermal insulation purposes. This research aimed to develop composites of rigid polyurethane foam from ricin oil (PURM) with stoneware porcelain (PRP) and scheelite (PRS) waste which could be used as thermal insulation, aiming the reduction of costs and raw material consume; furthermore, to contribute with the sustainable development of these industries. In this study were used PRS and PRP microparticles for confection and characterization of PURM composites. These composites were thermophysical characterized with tests of thermal conductivity, specific heat, thermal diffusivity and thermogravimetry. Material properties such as density, compressive strength and hardness were also analyzed in the PURM+PRS and PURM+PRP composites. The cellular structures of these PURM composites were analyzed by MEV (Scanning Electron Microscopy) with chemical microanalysis EDS (Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy). It was verified that the best composites with insulating properties were PURM+5PRP125 and PURM+5PRP300-600 because they had a lower thermal conductivity than other PURM composites. The same occurred for the PURM+5PRS composites, also for both particle sizes (125 ?m and between 300 and 600 ?m). However, comparing the thermal insulation efficiency based on the lower values of thermal conductivity and higher specific heat, the PURM+5PRP125 composite was the one which presented the closest thermal behavior value to PURM-Pure, likewise exhibited higher thermal insulation than the other PURM composites and the commercially available thermal insulators (rock wool, glass wool, EPS, and others).

William Shakespeare es, sin lugar a dudas, uno de los dramaturgos más brillantes y más representados del teatro universal. Su obra es ampliamente reconocida y considerada en la literatura y las artes escénicas por la riqueza temática que guarda y las múltiples posibilidades interpretativas que alberga, según el punto de vista de cada director. El reto de montar un Shakespeare no es sencillo, pues hay que combatir cierta resistencia del público hacia los llamados autores clásicos. El hecho de pretender acercar a Shakespeare al espectador de hoy conlleva siempre riesgos. Muchas veces se pretende actualizar a Shakespeare empleando recursos escénicos modernos, como vestuario, escenografia, modismos al hablar, etcétera. Pero sólo se consigue una modernización artificial que no cumple con la misión de revelar la verdadera esencia de la obra. La pieza, entonces, se puede convertir en el mejor de los casos, en una buena crónica moderna pero su temática pasará desapercibida, descontextualizada. Ante el problema de la modernización superficial, surge la invitación a realizar el montaje shakespeareano bajo la perspectiva de una verdadera contemporaneidad, la cual buscará compenetrar la temática de la obra con el contexto social del público. La coincidencia se vuelve un resultado feliz cuando el público encuentra en escena una problemática en la cual se reconoce y se identifica. / Tesis

Bodies of evidence in the proportions in weight of 10%, 15% and 20% were made to determine the thermal properties: conductivity (k), diffusivity (ά) and heat capacity (C), for purposes of comparison, the measurements were also performed the properties of polyurethane of castor without charge and also the oil polyurethane (PU), both already used in thermal insulation. Plates of 0.25 meters of material analyzed were manufactured for use as insulation material in a chamber performance thermal coverage. Thermocouples were distributed on the surface of the cover, and inside the material inside the test chamber and this in turn was subjected to artificial heating, consisting of a bank of incandescent lamps of 3000 w. The results obtained with the composite materials were compared with data from similar tests conducted with the camera alone with: (a) of oil PU, (b) of COF (c) glass wool, (d ) of rock wool. The heat resistance tests were performed with these composites, obtaining temperature limits for use in the range of 100 ? C to 130 ? C.

L'île tibérine est l'île fluviale se trouvant sur le Tibre, à hauteur de Rome. sa première occupation connue remonte au iiie siècle av. j.-c., lors de l'installation d'un culte en l'honneur d'Esculape. Ll'île est également au centre d'un noeud de communication entre les deux rives du fleuve. L'objectif du travail sera d'étudier la place de l'île dans la ville de Rome, de retracer son évolution, déterminer ses fonctions ainsi que ses liens et interractions avec les quartiers mitoyens : le trastevere ou le forum boarium, par exemple. L'étude s'ouvrira donc aux ponts de Rome et à certaines zones riveraines de l'île.l'étude sera réalisée en reprennant les textes des historiens et géographes antiques, les inscriptions, les vestiges archéologiques et les récits des voyageurs modernes. Cette disposition topographique de Rome, au bord d'un fleuve, à proximité d'un îlot central, se retrouve dans d'autres villes antiques. Il sera intéressant, après avoir développé l'étude de l'île, de comparer la situation avec celle d'autres villes qui présentent les mêmes caractéristiques, comme Paris ou Antioche par exemple / Tiber Island, between Vrbs and Trastevere, is one of the topographical characteristic of the site ofRome. Its history and fame begun with the arrival of Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine brought fromEpidauros. No study went thoroughly back over the history and topography of this significant component ofroman scenery since the monograph written by M. Besnier in the early years of the 20th century. Nowadayscurrent developments in archeological research and new perspectives in roman topography throw new light onmany issues. This thesis aims to go back over the development, the town-planning but also the place the Tiberislet occupied in town. In this perspective, this is not just about grasping the island as a place but also as acomponent of roman landscape and urban development. Indeed Tiber island can only be apprehended at firstwithin its natural surroundings then its urban one. The island shows a high concentration of cults, which begunwith the advent of Aesculapius, who made it the “sacred island” thus permanently marking its topography.However, studying its planning and administration reveals it was real district too, with all the features as regardsarrangements and activities. At first on the fringe of the city, its integration to the city begun in the 2nd centuryBC until it was established as uicus Censori by the augustean reform. During the Imperial period, the island isalready seen as an old-settled part of the city, which will only know new changes with the banning ofpolytheistic cult. / L’isola Tiberina, tra l’Vrbs e il Trastevere, costitui una delle particolarità topograficedel sito di Roma. La sua storia, ma supratutto la sua notorietà, comincia quando arriveEsculapio, il dio greco della medicina, importato da Epidauro. Dalla monografia di M.Besnier, pubblicata all’inizio del XX secolo, nessuna studia è tronata su questo soggetto inmodo approfondito. Ora, l’attualità della ricerca archeologica e le nuovi approci in topografiaromana getteno nuova luce su molte problematice. Duncque, questo lavoro propone diriesaminare l’evoluzione, gli insediamenti ma anche il ruolo dell’isola nella città. Inquest’ottica, non si considera solo l’isola in quanto luogo ma come elemento del paesaggio etdel urbanismo romani. Perché si posse capire l’isola Tiberina unicamente nel suo ambiante,innazi tutto naturale, poi urbano. L’isola si define soprattuto per la concentrazione di culti sulsuo territorio, iniziata dall’arrivo di Esculapio che l’insedia nel suo ruolo d’ « isola sacra » emarca definitavamente la sua topografia. Tuttavia, la studia del suo spazio et della suaamministrazione mostra che era anche un vero quartiere, di cui aveva tutti gli attributi inmateria di strutture ed attività. Inizialmente fuori dalla città, la sua intergrazione nelfunzionamento della città comincia dal II secolo a.C. fino alla riforma di Auguto che laistituisce uicus Censori. All’epoca imperiale, l’isola ostituisce già parte integrante della cittàda molto tempo, che conoscerà nuove trasformazioni col divieto del culto politeisti.Parole chiavi
