Cerithidea decollata is a common western Indian Ocean mangrove gastropod. It feeds on the ground at low tide, and climbs the trees two-three hours before the water arrival to avoid submersion. Moreover, it regularly settles on the trunk roughly 40 centimeters above the level that the water will reach, in spite of the irregular East African tidal pattern. Migration usually takes place about twice a day unless at Neap Tide, when snails may remain on the dry ground. Biological clock cannot account for water level foreseeing while direct visual cues or chemical information from the water itself or from previous migrations have already been experimentally discarded. Indirect cues could be hypothesize related to the effect of the oceanic wave reaching the coast and the barrier reef (seismic noise), or alternatively related to changes in ground resistivity (self potential) caused by the sea water moving close. To verify these hypotheses a seismic noise and self potential survey was carried out at Mida Creek (Kenya). This paper presents the first results of the seismic noise measurements. A significant correlation between the time evolution (mean value) of the low frequency seismic signal, tides, and snails movements has been identified.展开更多

Changes in these modal properties constitute an indication of structural damage, which may then be assessed on the basis of experimental evidence. The authors proposed an approach to determine the so-called damage damping and stiffness matrices, which are essential to identify the location and intensity of damage. No restrictions were introduced on the damping matrix of the system. The approach requires ambient vibration data of all relevant coordinates used in the structural model, which are processed employing the SSI method. In practice, the identification method is seriously hampered by ambient factors such as temperature or humidity. In general those effects must be filtered out in other to obtain a reliable diagnosis of damage, approach that demands long term monitoring. In this paper, an alternative approach is explored, based on the introduction of error damping and stiffness matrices. Data on both matrices is generated on the basis of observed variations of structural member stiffness and damping caused by ambient factors. The influence of this uncertainty on the identified spectral properties is assessed by simulation.展开更多

A multi-channel and/or remote triggering system is proposed. The system was conceived by IRD-Leas, France, and used at ISTerre, France, for research activities. The size, weight of this high quality system and its autonomy (no need to be connected to a laptop) make it a real portable device. The system acquires data with 24-bit delta-sigma ADCs in the 10 - 1000 sps range at 10 - 20 bit resolution on up to 18 channels in the multi-channel version. The input stage dynamics is available at ±2.5 V or ±5 V. The dynamic range varies, for example, from 108 dB at 100 sps to 90 dB at 250 sps. Gain is selectable from 1 (0 dB) to 8192 (78 dB) by powers of two (6 dB). Its very low level of internal noise allows recording of very low tension signals without missing code. Continuous recording and GPS may also be implemented in the system. While primarily dedicated to ambient vibration recordings, this system can be connected to any type of device delivering an output tension in the ±5 V range.展开更多
