Combined application of FTAN and cross-spectra analysis to ambient noise recorded by a microseismic monitoring network by Ilaria Barone, Alessandro Brovelli, Giorgio Tango, Sergio Del Gaudio, Giorgio Cassiani

“…Group and phase velocity dispersion curves have been jointly inverted to retrieve as many shear-wave velocity profiles as selected station pairs. While the average model can be used for a more accurate location of the local natural seismicity, the associated standard deviations give us an indication of the lateral heterogeneity of seismic velocities as a function of depth. …”

Distance Conversion Factors for In Situ H-Field Emissions Tests by Jordi Sole-Lloveras, Yasutoshi Yoshioka, Manuel Anon-Cancela, Thilo Kootz, Ferran Silva, Marco A. Azpurua

“…An algorithm is developed to extract the H-field strengths normalized to the reference distance and then, through methods for optimal detection of changepoints, such a normalized curve is fitted to a piece-wise linear function that becomes the generalized distance conversion factor, presented in the form of simplified equations. …”

Results of kidney transplantation from suboptimal donors to recipients of the older age group by B. Z. Khubutiya, M. Sh. Khubutiya, A. K. Evseev, A. V. Babkina

“…The results of the study showed that kidney transplantation from suboptimal donors to patients of the older age group provides acceptable results with low mortality of recipients and a 1-year functioning of the graft in 75% of cases. This makes it possible to increase the availability of kidney transplantation for patients of the older age group and achieve better survival results, provided adequate selection of recipients and an objective assessment of the quality of transplanted organs.…”
