7 We apply two different algorithms to measure surface-wave phase velocity, as a function of 8 frequency, from seismic ambient noise recorded at pairs of stations from a large European 9 network. The two methods are based on consistent theoretical formulations, but differ in the 10 implementation: one method involves the time-domain cross-correlation of signal recorded 11 at different stations;...

BACKGROUND Ambient air ozone (O3) is a pulmonary irritant that has been associated with respiratory health effects including increased lung inflammation and permeability, airway hyperreactivity, respiratory symptoms, and decreased lung function. Estimation of O3 exposure is a complex task because the pollutant exhibits complex spatiotemporal patterns. To refine the quality of exposure estimatio...

understanding the essence of movement and knowing how it exists in the physical world, is considered one of the most important philosophical issues in which wise men were occupied with, whether in the greek era or the islamic one. and if the presence of change was of much certainty as well as movement in the physical world, then, the most important issue is the study of how it is present outwar...

This paper reports a study of ongoing social activities at a petrol station. Petrol stations constitute a nexus for mobility. Through ethnographic observations the author tests how the continuous flow of vehicles, commodities, money, and people are sustained and made accountable. The fieldwork demonstrates that, despite its transitory character, the petrol station offers a wide spectrum of `dur...
