Two seismic sources were tested on different surfaces during acquisition of a 5.5-km long high resolution seismic reflection (HRS) profile on the Ljubljana Moor in central Slovenia. Maximum target depth range of the survey was 200 - 300 m. Nine different combinations of source-surface conditions were analysed. Seismic sources included a seismic shotgun and an accelerated weight dropper system. The HRS profile crossed different surfaces including: paved roads, gravel roads, ploughed fields, grasslands and marshlands. Seismic source performance on different surfaces was evaluated through frequency and S/N ratio analyses of seismic data, and analysis of source-generated coherent noise appearance on seismograms. Results show that both seismic sources are suitable for some of the surfaces found in the surveyed area. The accelerated weight dropper produced the best results on gravel road surface, but poor results were found on grassland and ploughed fields. The seismic shotgun produced the best results in water-saturated soil on marshlands. It performed less favourably in unsaturated soil, generating more coherent noise. Water-saturated marshland surface and gravel road surfaces were found to be the most favourable for acquisition of high-resolution seismic reflection data on the Ljubljana Moor., Jure Atanackov and Andrej Gosar., and Obsahuje bibliografii
Parameters of finite seismic source model were determined for a set of 36 selected events of the West Bohemia 2000 earthquakes swarm (Ml from 1.7 to 3.0) using stopping phases method. Two stopping phases are generated along the source border where the rupture process terminates and these phases form Hilbert transform pair, which is also the criterion for their identification. Circular and e liptical source models were considered and corresponding source parameters were calculated by inverting interpreted stopping phases delays. As generalization of circular to elliptical model was found to be statistically insignificant, only results related to the circular source including error estimates are presented. Our results are in a good agreement with previously published theoretical formula concerning source radius and magnitude and also fairly well confirm general theoretical assumption about constant stress drop. The determined stress drop ranges between 1 - 10 MPa with the typical value of 2.4 MPa., Petr Kolář and Bohuslav Růžek., and Obsahuje bibliografické odkazy
The oldest mine cavities of the Jeroným Mine were already mined out more than 400 years ago. That is why it is necessary to determine the stability of individual parts of underground spaces. The assessment of stability of mine cavities is based on the long-term monitoring of chosen parameters. A distributed measurement network has been operated here using several different types of sensors. A laser distance meter that is used for measuring the height of a large chamber is one of these sensors. The results obtained from this monitoring are presented. Even if no apparent correlation seems to be visible between Earth’s tides and LDM variations, some features of recorded data, like dynamical frequency crossover in the power spectrum, could be due to the tidal cycles of the Earth., Zdeněk Kaláb, Markéta Lednická, Jaromír Knejzlík and Luciano Telesca., and Obsahuje bibliografii
Using of shaped conical borehole bottom to determination of the stress tensor changes induced by changing of geomechanical situation is described in this paper. The measured strain changes on gauge probe are caused not only by the stress changes evocateg by progress of long wall. The some deformation started imediatelly after instalation when the long wal didn't move. In paper are discussed the eventu alities of this phenomenon too., Lubomír Staš, Kamil Souček and Jaromír Knejzlík., and Obsahuje bibliografické odkazy
Fluid inclusions in carbonate-dominated veinlets from selected Czech Upper Paleozoic basins display large variations in salinity (0-25 wt. % eq. NaCl/CaCl2) and smaller variations in the homogenization temperatures (41-112 °C). We suggest that the trapped fluids represent a mixture dominated by heated formation fluids., Jiří Zachariáš and Jiří Pešek., and Obsahuje bibliografii
