A physical model of earthquake lights is proposed. It is suggested that the magnetic diffusion from the electric and magnetic fields source region is a dominant process, explaining rather high localization of the light flashes. A 3D numerical code allowing to take into account the arbitrary distribution of currents caused by ground motion, conductivity in the ground and at its surface, includin...

During the period October 2005 - January 2006, five strong earthquakes occurred in Greece as follows: three magnitude 6.0 consecutive earthquakes with almost the same epicenter in the Aegean Sea close to the western coast of Turkey, one magnitude 6.1 in western Greece and one magnitude 6.9 in southern Greece. In March 2005 and September 2005, intense anomalous geoelectric changes were observed ...

[1] We report seismo‐ionospheric precursors of anomalous decreases in the total electron content (TEC) appearing day 5 prior to an M9.3 earthquake, the largest one in the last five decades, which occurred in Sumatra‐Andaman, Indonesia on 26 December 2004. Sequences of global ionosphere maps of the TEC derived from worldwide ground‐based receivers of the global positioning system (GPS) are used ...

Microarray technology was used to examine gene expression changes following contusive injury of the adult rat spinal cord. To obtain a global understanding of the changes triggered by the injury, differential gene expression was examined spatially, using tissue samples from the epicenter of injury as well as 1 cm rostral and 1 cm caudal to the epicenter, and temporally, at 3 h, 24 h, 7 days, an...
