Historical seismograms for unravelling a mysterious earthquake: The 1907 Sumatra Earthquake
S U M M A R Y History of instrumental seismology is short. Seismograms are available only for a little more than 100 years; high-quality seismograms are available only for the last 50 years and the seismological database is very limited in time. To extend the database, seismograms of old events are of vital importance. Many unusual earthquakes are known to have occurred, but their seismological...
متن کاملTeseo: A vectoriser of historical seismograms
Historical seismograms contain a rich harvest of information useful for the study of past earthquakes. It is necessary to extract this information by digitising the analog records if modern analysis is required. Teseo has been developed for quick and accurate digitisation of seismogram traces from raster files, introducing a vectorisation step based on piecewise cubic Bézier curves. The vectori...
متن کاملHistorical seismograms: Preserving an endangered species
The youth of seismology as a science, compared to the typical duration of seismic cycles, results in a relative scarcity of records of large earthquakes available for processing by modern analytical techniques, which in turn makes archived datasets of historical seismograms extremely valuable in order to enhance our understanding of the occurrence of large, destructive earthquakes. Unfortunatel...
متن کاملAn interactive program on digitizing historical seismograms
Retrieving information from analog seismograms is of great importance since they are considered as the unique sources that provide quantitative information of historical earthquakes. We present an algorithm for automatic digitization of the seismograms as an inversion problem that forms an interactive program using Matlab GUI. The program integrates automatic digitization with manual digitizati...
متن کاملHistorical Antecedents of Cancer from 1805 to 1891
Cancer in terms of its origin was still a mystery. It has multiple etiologic factors, including ineffectiveness of immunologic surveillance. The distribution of human cancers points to a progressive accumulation of somatic genetic error. Sir Macfarlane Burnet has made immense contributions in the field of cancer surveillance. This paper analyses how the old masters were watching out for the hid...
