Obsessive slowness is described to be a syndrome of extreme slowness in ways various tasks are performed. Its existence as an independent syndrome is challenged by authors, who regard it to be a part of obsessive compulsive disorder. Behavioural techniques of prompting, pacing and shaping are recommended for treatment of this condition. We describe here a case of a 21 year old male patient who ...

Abstract Small‐scale mid‐mantle heterogeneities (<100 km) are revealed by various short‐period seismic waves with different sampling paths. Here, using dense stations in China, we present the observations of a new phase that arrives as PP precursor. This arrival represents P‐wave scattered at PdpP (“d” indicates depth heterogeneity) and appears two forms: (a) wave train increasing slowness f...

[1] We introduce a coherence measure for seismic signal enhancement through incoherent noise attenuation. Our processing tool is designed for densely spaced arrays and identifies signals by their coherent appearance. The approach is based on the determination of the lateral phase coherence as function of distance, time, frequency, and slowness. The coherence is derived from the local phases of ...

In the seismic tomography problem, the subsurface slowness distribution is estimated from the travel-times computed along generally curved rays. For a dense and uniform set of rays, the slowness distribution will be correctly reconstructed. However, for an uneven distribution of rays, the estimated slowness distribution may be influenced by the ray configuration. For the linear case, the seismi...
