    Notes: Abstract RT-PCR was performed on peach (Prunus persica [L.] Batsch) RNA to isolate cDNAs corresponding to transcripts which are differentially expressed in leaves borne on basal and apical shoots. A gene was identified which was more highly expressed in the leaves of basal shoots, and codes for the cytoplasmic protein S28 present in the small ribosomal subunit. The 5′ leader regions of RPS28 mRNAs were found to harbour 8–11 pyrimidine tracts, which suggested similarities to regulatory stretches that control the translation of mRNAs for ribosomal proteins in animals. The peach S28 is encoded by two intron-containing genes, which are both transcribed in mitotically active tissues such as developing leaves and roots. In situ hybridisation to shoot vegetative apices and the measurement of nucleus/nucleolus ratios indicated that RPS28 expression was confined to areas undergoing active cell division. The mature RPS28 mRNA was detected as a single species in actively dividing tissues such as apical tips, developing leaves, vegetative buds, stamens, developing fruits and roots. In contrast, accumulation of a precursor RNA, in the presence of the mature product, was found in fully expanded leaves and subtending stems, while only the precursor species was detected in several late-stage tissues. This phenomenon suggested that expression of the mature RNA is controlled at the level of splicing and turnover of the precursor RNA. This is similar to the mode of regulation of ribosomal protein genes in animals.

    Notes: Abstract During the ML = 5.6 and 5.8 earthquakes occurredin central Italy on 26 September 1997 the historiccentre of Nocera Umbra, lying on top of a 120 m highhill, was diffusely damaged (VII-VIII degrees of MCSintensity). Some recently built houses in the modernpart of the town suffered an even higher level ofdamage. A temporary seismic array was deployed toinvestigate a possible correlation between localamplifications of ground motion in this area and theobserved pattern of damage. After a geologic andmacroseismic survey, eight sites were selected asrepresentative of different local conditions, such astopographic irregularities, sharp hard-to-softlithology transitions, alluvium-filled valleys, andboth undisturbed and deformed rocks.Horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratios for bothmicrotremor and earthquake recordings, as well asspectral ratios referred to undisturbed rock sites,were used to quantify local variations of groundmotion. In spite of the diffuse damage in the historiccentre of Nocera Umbra, a small amplification isobserved at the stations on the hill's top. Thissuggests that the higher vulnerability of the ancientbuildings mainly accounts for the diffuse damage inthat part of the town. In the frequency band ofengineering interest (1 to 10 Hz) the largestamplifications of ground motion are found at softsites: in the Topino river valley, where many episodesof severe structural damage occurred, spectralamplification is significant over a broad frequencyband ranging from 2 Hz to more than 20 Hz. Inparticular, in the central part of the valley highamplification (〉 4) is found from 3 to 10 Hz,reaching a maximum of 20 around 4 Hz. At the edge ofthe valley, close to the soil-to-rock transition,amplification is as large as 10 in a frequency bandranging from 4 to more than 20 Hz. A significantamplification (by a factor of 10 around 10 Hz) isobserved also at one of the rock sites, possibly dueto the presence of a cataclastic zone related to theactivity of a regional fault that altered themechanical properties of the rock.

    Notes: Abstract During the two mainshocks of September 26, 1997 inthe Umbria-Marche border a strong-motion accelerographrecorded peak ground accelerations as large as 0.6 g,approximately, in the town of Nocera Umbra, atdistances of 10 to 15 km from the epicentres. Thisvalue is significantly larger than expected on thebasis of the usual regressions with magnitude anddistance. A broad-band amplification up to a factor of10 was consistently estimated in previous papers,using both weak and strong motion data recorded at theaccelerograph site during local moderate earthquakes.To study the cause of this amplification we deployedsix seismologic stations across the tectonic contactbetween the Ceno-Mesozoic limestone and the Mesozoicmarly sandstone where the accelerograph is installed.Seismograms of 21 shallow aftershocks in the magnituderange from 2.2 to 4.0 and a subcrustal Mw = 5.3event are analysed. Regardless of epicentre location,waveforms show a large complexity in an approximately200 m wide band adjacent to the tectonic contact. Thisis interpreted as the effect of trapped waves in thehighly fractured, lower velocity materials within thefault zone.

    Description: During the ML = 5.6 and 5.8 earthquakes occurred in central Italy on 26 September 1997 the historic centre of Nocera Umbra, lying on top of a 120 m high hill, was diffusely damaged (VII-VIII degrees of MCS intensity). Some recently built houses in the modern part of the town suffered an even higher level of damage. A temporary seismic array was deployed to investigate a possible correlation between local amplifications of ground motion in this area and the observed pattern of damage. After a geologic and macroseismic survey, eight sites were selected as representative of different local conditions, such as topographic irregularities, sharp hard-to-soft lithology transitions, alluvium-filled valleys, and both undisturbed and deformed rocks. Horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratios for both microtremor and earthquake recordings, as well as spectral ratios referred to undisturbed rock sites, were used to quantify local variations of ground motion. In spite of the diffuse damage in the historic centre of Nocera Umbra, a small amplification is observed at the stations on the hill’s top. This suggests that the higher vulnerability of the ancient buildings mainly accounts for the diffuse damage in that part of the town. In the frequency band of engineering interest (1 to 10 Hz) the largest amplifications of ground motion are found at soft sites: in the Topino river valley, where many episodes of severe structural damage occurred, spectral amplification is significant over a broad frequency band ranging from 2 Hz to more than 20 Hz. In particular, in the central part of the valley high amplification (〉 4) is found from 3 to 10 Hz, reaching a maximum of 20 around 4 Hz. At the edge of the valley, close to the soil-to-rock transition, amplification is as large as 10 in a frequency band ranging from 4 to more than 20 Hz. A significant amplification (by a factor of 10 around 10 Hz) is observed also at one of the rock sites, possibly due to the presence of a cataclastic zone related to the activity of a regional fault that altered the mechanical properties of the rock.
