Neural network based classification of rock properties and seismic vulnerability by U. Muksin, E. Riana, A. Rudiyanto, K. Bauer, A.V.H. Simanjuntak, M. Weber

“…Better insight and less human-dependent interpretation of soil types can be obtained from a joint analysis of separated and independent geophysical parameters. This paper discusses the application of a neural network approach to derive rock properties and seismic vulnerability from horizontal-to-vertical seismic ratio and seismic wave velocity data recorded in Majalengka-West Java, Indonesia.METHODS: Seismic microtremors were recorded at 54 locations and additionally multichannel analyses of surface wave experiments were performed at 18 locations because the multichannel analyses of surface wave experiment needs more effort and space. …”

Rotationsprinzip und synthetische Reprisenfunktion im Klavierkonzert des späten 18. und frühen 19. Jahrhunderts by Pascal Schiemann

“…The Type 5-model is based almost exclusively on Mozart’s concertos; nevertheless, Hepokoski and Darcy do imply that this model is analytically valid outside of the Viennese-classical context and argue for its importance in the postclassical development of the solo concerto. This paper contests the general applicability of the Type 5 model by showing that it proves inapt for the majority of concertos in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. …”
