    Description: In this paper, we analyze the strong unidentified emission near 3.28 micron in Titan's upper daytime atmosphere recently discovered by Dinelli et al.We have studied it by using the NASA Ames PAH IR Spectroscopic Database. The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), after absorbing UV solar radiation, are able to emit strongly near 3.3 micron. By using current models for the redistribution of the absorbed UV energy, we have explained the observed spectral feature and have derived the vertical distribution of PAH abundances in Titan's upper atmosphere. PAHs have been found to be present in large concentrations, about (2-3) 10(exp 4) particles / cubic cm. The identified PAHs have 9-96 carbons, with a concentration-weighted average of 34 carbons. The mean mass is approx 430 u; the mean area is about 0.53 sq. nm; they are formed by 10-11 rings on average, and about one-third of them contain nitrogen atoms. Recently, benzene together with light aromatic species as well as small concentrations of heavy positive and negative ions have been detected in Titan's upper atmosphere. We suggest that the large concentrations of PAHs found here are the neutral counterpart of those positive and negative ions, which hence supports the theory that the origin of Titan main haze layer is located in the upper atmosphere.

    Description: Negli ultimi anni il concetto di vulnerabilità sismica è tristemente entrato a far parte delle conoscenze anche dei non addetti ai lavori. Infatti, gli eventi sismici che hanno interessato dagli inizi del ‘900 il territorio Italiano, hanno sistematicamente messo in risalto l’elevata vulnerabilità sismica del nostro patrimonio edilizio, ivi compresi i beni monumentali, nonché, l’inesistenza di qualsiasi attività di programmazione della manutenzione periodica ordinaria e straordinaria delle strutture sismo-resistenti, che garantiscono nel tempo la conservazione delle loro capacità di risposta alle perturbazioni esterne.Il progetto PON sul Monitoraggio in Area Sismica di SIstemi MOnumentali nasce con la prerogativa di produrre uno strumento dedicato alla tutela di strutture a valenza storico – artistica, attraverso un percorso di catalogazione, di analisi del bene inteso come elemento costituito da elementi resistenti e da materiali, di studio del sito dove la struttura è ubicata e di attività di monitoraggio.

    Description: I dati accelerometrici relativi alla sequenza sismica de L’Aquila, iniziata con l’evento del 6 Aprile alle ore 1.32 (MW 6.3), provengono dalla rete Rete Accelerometrica Nazionale (RAN), gestita dal Dipartimento della Protezione Civile (DPC) e da una rete temporanea installata il giorno dopo la scossa principale ad opera dell’Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV MI-PV). I dati del DPC sono scaricabili dalla banca dati accelerometrica italiana ITACA (http://itaca.mi.ingv.it), mentre quelli dell'INGV sono accessibili dal sito Internet http://accel.mi.ingv.it/statiche/ABRUZZO-2009/main.html. Il terremoto de L’Aquila è il terzo evento più forte che abbia prodotto registrazioni accelerometriche in Italia, dopo i terremoti dell’Irpinia (1980, MW 6.9) e del Friuli (1976, MW 6.4). Questo evento, insieme alle 12 repliche più forti (MW 〉 4.0) ha fornito un insieme di dati accelerometrici unico in Italia, in particolare per la presenza di un numero consistente di registrazioni in zona epicentrale ("campo vicino"). Il data set è composto da circa 300 accelerogrammi digitali (di cui 270 provenienti dalla RAN), con un ottimo rapporto segnale/rumore, registrati da circa 70 stazioni, installate in varie condizioni di sito, a distanze comprese fra 0 e 300 km. L'importanza di questo data set, non solo a livello nazionale, è legato al contributo significativo che fornisce nel colmare una lacuna nella distribuzione magnitudo-distanza dei dati strong motion italiani e mondiali, soprattutto per quanto riguarda gli eventi con meccanismo di faglia normale (Ameri et al.; 2009). I dati registrati in campo vicino provengono da un transetto composto da 6 stazioni installato dalla Protezione Civile nel 2001 nella Alta Valle dell’Aterno, con lo scopo di investigare la variabilità del moto sismico rispetto alle condizioni geologiche locali, dalla stazione AQK, installata in prossimità del centro urbano e da una stazione (AQU) appartenente alla rete broad band Mednet (http://mednet.rm.ingv.it/data.php), situata nel castello de L’Aquila. Queste stazioni distano meno di 5 km dall’epicentro dell’evento principale, ricadendo all’interno della proiezione superficiale del piano di rottura. A queste si aggiungono le registrazioni delle repliche, ottenute dalle stazioni della rete temporanea INGV, installata in area epicentrale. In questo lavoro si presenta un resoconto delle principali caratteristiche dello scuotimento del suolo verificatosi durante la sequenza sismica aquilana, attraverso l’analisi dei dati accelerometrici relativi alla scossa principale e alle due repliche più forti. Si discutono in particolare la dipendenza di diversi parametri strong motion dalla distanza, dall’azimuth e dalle condizioni di sito, e l'effetto delle caratteristiche del moto in campo vicino sulla risposta strutturale

    Description: Abstract We critically analyze the results on seismic intensity attenuation in Italy derived by Albarello and D’Amico (2004) and Gasperini (2001).We demonstrate that, due to the inadequacy of certain underlying assumptions, the empirical relationships determined in those studies did not best reproduce the decay of intensity as the distance from the source increases. We reconsidered some of the relevant concepts and assumptions used in these intensity-attenuation studies (macroseismic epicenter, epicentral intensity, data completeness) to suggest some useful recipes for obtaining unbiased estimates. In particular, we suggest that (1) data for distances from the source at which an intensity below the limit of diffuse perceptibility (≤IV) is expected should be excluded from attenuation computations because such data are clearly incomplete, (2) attenuation equations that include a term proportional to the epicentral intensity I0 with a coefficient different from 1.0 must not be used because they imply a variable offset between I0 and the intensity expected at the epicenter, and (3) epicentral intensities must be recomputed consistently with the attenuation equation because those reported by the Italian catalog do not generally correspond with the intensity predicted at the epicenter by the attenuation relationships so far proposed. Following these suggestions produces a significant reduction in the standard deviation of the model that might lead to a corresponding reduction of the estimates of seismic hazard.

    Description: Abstract Several different attenuation models have recently been proposed for the Italian region to characterize the decay of macroseismic intensity with the distance from the source. The significant scatter between these relationships and some significant drawbacks that seem to characterize previous approaches (described in a companion article by Pasolini et al., 2008) suggest that the problem needs to be reconsidered. As a first step toward more detailed analyses in the future, this study aimed at developing an isotropic attenuation relationship for the Italian area. Because this attenuation relationship has to be used primarily in probabilistic seismic hazard assessment, major attention was given to evaluating the attenuation relationship in its complete probabilistic form. Another important aspect of this study was the preliminary evaluation of the intrinsic (i.e., independent of the specific attenuation relationship to be used) scattering of data, which represents the lowest threshold for the residual variance that cannot be explained by the attenuation relationship. Furthermore, the peculiar formal features of intensity data and relevant uncertainties were considered carefully. To reduce possible biases, the completeness of the available database was checked and a suitable data selection procedure was applied. Since epicentral intensity cannot be defined unambiguously from the experimental point of view, the attenuation relationship was scaled with a new variable that is more representative of the earthquake dimension. Several criteria were considered when evaluating competing attenuation formulas (explained variance, Bayesian information criteria, Akaike information criteria, etc.). Statistical uncertainty about empirical parameters was evaluated by using standard approaches and bootstrap simulations. The performance of the selected relationship with respect to a control sample was analyzed by using a distribution-free approach. The resulting equation for the expected intensity I at a site located at epicentral distance R is I IE 0:0086 0:0005 D h 1:037 0:027 ln D ln h ; where D R2 p h2, h 3:91 0:27 km, and IE is the average expected intensity at the epicenter for a given earthquake that can be computed from the intensity data (when available) or by using empirical relationships with the moment magnitude Mw or the epicentral intensity I0 reported by the Italian seismic catalog IE 5:862 0:301 2:460 0:055 Mw; IE 0:893 0:254 1:118 0:033 I0: Comparison of the model standard deviation (S.D.) (0.69 intensity degrees) with the intrinsic one (0.62) indicates that this attenuation equation is not far from being optimal.

    Description: Following a recent paperwe useweak-motionwaveforms to calibrate a model for the prediction of earthquake-induced ground-motion in Taiwan, in the 0.25–5.0 Hz frequency range, valid up to Mw 7.6. The excitation/attenuation model is given in terms of frequency-dependent seismic wave attenuation, Qs(f ), geometrical spreading, g(r), amagnitude-dependent stress parameters σ for the excitation terms, and a site term for each seismic station used in the study. A set of weak-motion data was gathered from about 170 aftershocks of the Chi–Chi earthquake, Mw 7.6, of 1999 September 20, (17:47 UTC), recorded by 10 broad-band seismic stations. The moment magnitudes of the registered aftershocks ranged from Mw 3.0 to 6.5, and the hypocentral distances from a few kilometres to about 250 km. A frequency-dependent crustal quality factor, Q(f ) = 350f 0.32, was obtained, to be coupled with the geometrical spreading function g (r ) = ⎧⎪ ⎪⎨⎪ ⎪⎩ r−1.2 1 〈 r 〈 10 km r−0.7 10 〈 r 〈 40 km r−1.0 40 〈 r 〈 80 km r−0.5 r 〉 80 km. Earthquake-related excitation spectra were calibrated over our empirical results by using a magnitude-dependent Brune model with a stress drop value of σ = 8.0 ± 1.0 MPa for the largest event of Mw 6.5 in our data set and with a near surface attenuation parameter of κ = 0.05 s. Results on region-specific crustal attenuation and source scaling were used to generate stochastic simulations both for point-source and extended-fault ruptures through the computer codes: Stochastic Model SIMulation, SMSIM and Extended-FaultModel Simulation, EXSIM. The absolute peak ground accelerations (PGA), peak ground velocities (PGV) and 5 per centdamped Spectral Accelerations (SA) at three different frequencies, 0.33 Hz, 1.0 Hz and 3.0 Hz for several magnitudes and distance ranges were predicted at large magnitudes, well beyond magnitudeMw 6.5, the upper limit for the events of ourweak-motion data set. The performance of the stochastic model was then tested against the strong-motion data recorded during the Mw 7.6 Chi–Chi earthquake, and against several other empirical ground-motion models.
