... presently in use at INGV is the starting point for a new multitier compound system that relies on four main components: an automatic earthquake detection and location system based on Earthworm; a new seismological relational database for parametric data; a full set of new webservices application programming...

... and Things,” which was the architectural ancestor of Earthworm ( Johnson et al. , 1995 ). CEDAR, and later CUSP during the 1980s, were the primary automated processing systems used by the regional seismic networks (RSNs) in the United States. By June 1991, it was recognized that the commonality of interests...

...Siul Ruiz; Isabelle Straub; Stanislaus J. Schymanski; Dani Or Abstract Recent mechanical models of soil penetration by earthworms and plant roots based on penetration-cavity expansion were tested using cone penetration measurements at scales compatible with the sizes of earthworms and plant roots...

... results of an EEWS prototype based on the U.S. Geological Survey Earthworm tools and developed at the Institut Cartogràfic i Geològic de Catalunya (ICGC). System main functionalities are real‐time data acquisition, processing ( P ‐wave picking, event detection, earthquake hypocentral location...

...Da‐Yi Chen; Nai‐Chi Hsiao; Yih‐Min Wu Abstract For more than 10 years, the Central Weather Bureau of Taiwan has operated an earthquake early warning ( EEW ) system and has issued warnings for specific agencies. For the past two years, the Earthworm platform has been used to integrate real‐time...

...Matteo Quintiliani; Stefano Pintore © 2013 by the Seismological Society of America Earthworm ( Johnson et al. , 1995 ) is an automatic processing system for locating earthquakes. The initial objective of the project, started in 1993, was to provide rapid notification of seismic events...

..., the selection of the appropriate EMS to operate is not at all a trivial choice. The enduringly popular Earthworm was the first true EMS. Carl Johnson from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), a lead developer of the original system, followed a set of design principles that “guide the design and implementation...

...A. M. L. Lindahl; I. G. Dubus; N. J. Jarvis Abstract Channels made by deep-burrowing (anecic) earthworms are known to strongly affect soil water flow and increase the leaching risk of agricultural pollutants. A classification tree that predicts the abundance of the anecic earthworm Lumbricus...

... and have a large proportion of clay minerals and a small proportion of primary minerals ( Dubbin, 2001 ). Highly weathered soils, such as those found in the tropics, tend to be less fertile than less weathered soils ( Dubbin, 2001 ). Earthworms are an important component of the soil ecosystem and have...

... in earthquake detection rates associated with the shift from the IASPEI (International Association of Seismology and Physics of the Earth's Interior) acquisition system ( Lee et al. , 1988 ) to the Earthworm acquisition system ( Johnson et al. , 1995 ) in early 2002. Understanding how the earthquake...

...Martin R. Lee; Mark E. Hodson; Graham Langworthy Abstract Earthworms of the family Lumbricidae, which includes many common species, produce and secrete up to millimeter-sized calcite granules, and the intricate fine-scale zoning of their constituent crystals is unique for a biomineral. Granule...

...M. J. I. Briones; E. López; J. Méndez; J. B. Rodríguez; L. Gago-Duport Abstract The earthworm calciferous gland produces a concentrated suspension of alcium carbonate and in certain species precipitates as concretions of CaCO 3 , which then enter the soil. Here we investigated the initial stages...

...M. R. Lee; M. E. Hodson; G. N. Langworthy * E-mail: [email protected] © The Mineralogical Society 2008 D arwin 1881 was one of the first scientists to formally record that earthworms excrete calcium carbonate granules, with some up to 2 mm in diameter. However, since...

.... A methodology using the earthworm Eisenia foetida has been developed to assess Hg bioavailability in mine tailings and aqueous solutions. Results indicate that E. foetida accumulate Hg and a positive correlation exists between Hg concentrations in worm tissues, the substrate they consume and length of exposure...
