Volume 8 - 2020 | https://doi.org/10.3389/feart.2020.589925 This article is part of the Research TopicSeismicity in Volcanic AreasView all 20 articles High-resolution seismic imaging enables the reconstruction of ascending paths of magma and fluids shallow molten accumulation and flank collapse areas all crucial information for developing an efficient eruption forecasting strategy the Marching Cubes algorithm (MC - generally applied to medical visualization and three-dimensional (3D) modeling) is applied to 16 years of earthquake location data at Mt The algorithm defines three-dimensional seismic clusters that take into account seismic location uncertainties and are embedded in a novel volcano-oriented Geographyc Information Systems (VolGIS) offering an interpretational environment comprising tomographic images and alternative geophysical models The results show that a volume of very-low-seismicity is embedded in a high-velocity body and acts as a zone of transition between transient magmatic events (west) and eastern deep seismicity related to the sliding eastern flank The eastern cluster represents the 3D seismic signature of a deep (2–8 km below sea level) instability affecting the portion of the eastern flank nearest to the feeding systems This instability is likely caused by a combination of gravitational spreading and magmatic intrusions It is thus necessary: 1) to develop more quantitative methods to define seismic clustering at a volcano; 2) to apply these methods to seismic locations recorded across years or decades most likely to represent stationary or recurrent processes at a volcano The resulting isosurfaces will envelope volumes of seismic clustering and contour aseismic zones whose discussion is always part of tomographic interpretations The application of the MC algorithm to locations recorded across decades offers a unique method to define background (tectonic or gravitational) or repeated (likely magmatic) processes acting inside the volcano quantitatively The integration of VolGIS and the MC algorithm is aimed at refining interpretations of volcano seismicity considering both imaged structures and dynamics modeled from geophysical signals Once applied to seismic locations spanning years it provides a tool to mitigate several limitations in our ability to interpret volcano dynamics including: 1) the possibility of accounting for uncertainties in seismic locations when interpreting them with geophysical models; 2) a quantitative definition of “seismic clustering” and aseismicity in a geolocalized environment developed explicitly for the interpretation of seismic tomographic maps; 3) a seismic model of the volcano unrelated to specific volcanic unrest and representative of decadal-scale volcano dynamics In the present application, the MC algorithm uses as data the earthquakes nucleated between the years 2000 and 2016 at Mt. Etna, in the framework of the VolGIS. The first ten years of data are described and analyzed by Alparone et al. (2015). We added six years of location data (from 2010 to 2016), which were provided by the Gruppo Analisi Dati Sismici (2017) These earthquakes are located in an area that spans between 14.707 and 15.295°E and from 37.509 to 37.900°N in a depth range from −3 to 10 km b.s.l We selected the “Date,” “Latitude,” “Longitude,” “Depth,” “Magnitude,” “RMS,” “ERH” and “ERZ” from the event location file indicate the horizontal and vertical uncertainties in localization (in kilometres) After setting the data-frame coordinate system, both a DEM of Etna (Bisson et al., 2016) and all the seismic events were loaded to the GIS-Workspace. Without any selection dependent on location uncertainties, both the top view (at different scales, i.e., 1:75,000, 1:125,000) (Figures 1A,B) and W-E cross-section view (Figure 1C) of the earthquake spatial distribution highlight a volume of low-to-zero seismicity for the selected period The methods proposed allow to assess if this anomaly is an effect of graphic visualization or a feature related to the volcano dynamics VolGIS incorporates the Marching Cubes algorithm (MC) and analyses the earthquake distribution in order to create a quantitative 3D model of the high-seismicity volumes Geo-localized tomographic maps and models of deformation are then included in the GIS for interpretation Earthquakes distribution at 1:75,000 (A) and 1:125,000 (B) (C) Earthquakes distribution from a W-E view The red dashed rectangles outline the area of low-to-zero seismicity The MC samples a point cloud set by taking eight vertices simultaneously from a provided spatial grid, marking a cube. For each cube, the algorithm computes 28 = 256 possible polygons configurations values that, due to symmetries, are reduced to 15 possible polygons configurations (Supplementary Figure 1A) The MC then queries a list of pre-calculated geometries to pick the combination of polygons that best represents the isosurface passing through the cube given a predefined grid spacing and density isovalue set by VolGIS the software applies the algorithm and generates the isosurface according to the spherical spreading law: For a given dataset, the isovalue establishes what percentage of earthquake locations near to each vertex is required for the vertex to be inside the surface. The i-th vertex is included if W(i) has a value less than or equal to the isovalue, otherwise it falls outside of the surface (Supplementary Figure 1C). Another way to achieve the same effect is to uniformly increase or decrease all the vertices values (Lopes and Brodlie, 2003) The MC algorithm solves a forward problem. It is thus necessary to test different datasets in order to assess the robustness of the imaged structures. The MC was applied to three different datasets (Figure 2; Supplementary Figure 2, 3) created according to three different horizontal and vertical uncertainties (ERH and ERZ) These applications test the robustness of the reconstructed structures providing a control on visualization based on modeled uncertainties We also test the stability of structure locations and shapes applying a bootstrap test Isosurfaces obtained in the second analysis The clusters C1 to C6 are outlined in blue The first dataset comprises 6,907 earthquakes with a root-mean-squared (RMS) average value of 0.135 We took into consideration that the average ERH and ERZ are equal to 548 and 712 m By dividing the entire area (51,779,297 m for each side) by the ERZ (712 m) we obtained the maximum amount of cells that can be included in the analysis (72.7) The software rounded down (72) to respect the ERH-ERZ constrain obtaining a value equal to 719,15 m per each cell-side The MC algorithm produced three isosurfaces, or clusters, that envelope the high seismicity volumes and constrain a volume of low (almost absent) seismicity (Supplementary Figure 2A): located beneath the summit craters (C1) and south to it (C2) have a vertical extent of 2.79 km (from 0.24 km above sea level to 2.56 km below it) and 3.6 km (from 0.56 to 4.16 km b.s.l.) • The third cluster (C3) is located under the eastern sector of the volcano. It has an approximated thickness of 5 km, dipping eastward from its shallow point at 1.4–7.39 km b.s.l. (Supplementary Figure 3B) • The algorithm allows the imaging of a fourth cluster its dimension is smaller than the earthquake vertical uncertainty so it is not interpreted in this first analysis Here, we set the grid spacing to 505.45 m, since the used events have both ERH and ERZ equal or less than 500 m. In this case the total earthquakes and the average RMS are equal to 2,824 and 0.149, respectively. The results show the same three clusters obtained using the first dataset, together with three smaller ones of measurable dimensions (Figure 2A) The clusters obtained with this dataset have a smaller extension compared to those obtained using Dataset 1 but the variations are within the dataset uncertainty Both shape and position of the clusters remain the same This result is due to the lower uncertainties in source location • The cluster C1 has a vertical extent of 3.28 km (from 550 m a.s.l The second cluster (C2) extends for 3.05 km spanning from 0.12 to 3.17 km b.s.l • Cluster C3 keeps both the same dimensions and position of the previous analysis with a focal point at about 1.19 km b.s.l • Two additional clusters are located above (C5) and below (C6) the second one (C2). They have both an average vertical extent of about 1 km and they range from 1.89 to 0.71 km a.s.l. and from 3.52 to 4.52 km b.s.l., respectively (Figure 2B) confirming that Dataset 2 provides a robust spatial distribution of isosurfaces with reductions up to 40% The comparison between both the tomographic maps and geodetic models with the seismic clusters allows to define a preliminary seismic zonation map of the volcano without separating the seismicity in different time periods It is hence possible to characterize the clusters as produced by either gravitational or magmatic processes the most obvious explanation is that this represents the buried cooled signature of older magmatic activities the location of the MC clusters relative to the HVB reveals that: • between 1 and 2 km b.s.l., C2 and C4 are included in the HVB (Alparone et al., 2012) (Vp > 6 km/s - from cyan to purple), while C3 only contours its eastern edge (Supplementary Figure 6A,B) • cluster C1, located between 37.737° and 37.765° latitude North and from 14.995° to 15.015° longitude East, is also inside the HVB between 2 and 3 km b.s.l. (Supplementary Figure 6B,C) • At 3 km b.s.l. the HVB comprises the VLS as well as all the clusters except for C3 (Supplementary Figure 6C) The HVB thus consistently comprises all clusters and the VLS except for C3 (red contour) The VLS is thus a smaller-scale feature inside the high-velocity pattern that separates the main western clusters C1 and C2 from C3 The obvious questions are if the clusters are caused by different dynamics (magmatic tectonic and gravitational) and if the VLS is part of the feeding systems of the volcano We also compare clusters C1 and C2 with the location of the dike and crack models obtained from geodetic and GPS analyses performed between 2000 and 2016 (Figure 3) • The locations and main orientations of clusters C1 and C2 match the crack projection modeled by Bonaccorso et al. (2002) relative to the lateral eruption of July 2001 (Figure 3A) The source of ground deformation modeled in this study lies 1.5 km SW and at the same depth of the VLS • The model proposed by Bruno et al. (2017), relative to the May 2015-September 2016 period, is located in the first cluster, in a range that spans between 2 and 6 km b.s.l., about 2 km west of the VLS (Figure 3C) • Clusters C1 and C2 are adjacent to the fracture-weakness-zone (FWZ) modeled by Carbone et al. (2014). This zone, located just 1.6 km SW from the VLS, is interpreted as a deeper pressure source filled with highly-pressurized gases (Figure 3E) • The surface dike projection modeled by Pezzo et al. (2020) comprises most of C1, C2 and most of the VLS (Figure 3F) • The spatial relation between these models and the clusters west of the VLS (C1 and C2) shows that the corresponding seismicity is produced by transient magmatic activity, marking the well known “South-rift” (Acocella and Neri, 2003; Pezzo et al., 2020). The weak zone modeled by Pezzo et al. (2020) considered as the superficial evidence of a deeper dike intrusion is the only deformation anomaly crossing the VLS consistently W-E cross-section highlighting (in gray) the area with low-seismicity above and below the VLS (in dashed blue-red) FIGURE 5. A W-E cross-section view of Cluster C3 (red outline). The previously modeled detachment planes are represented in yellow (Bonforte and Puglisi, 2006) and light blue (Puglisi et al., 2008) A W-E conceptual model explaining seismicity and sliding of the eastern flank of Mt The earthquakes nucleated between 2000 and 2016 at Mt Etna have been used as data in the Marching Cube algorithm The MC has been framed in an experimental GIS (VolGIS) which allows the users to obtain a three-dimensional seismic image in a few seconds and with a high quality graphics output The system offers unique support in the imaging of relatively small-sized volumes within tomographic and deformation models resolved over kilometres The framework allows to establish benchmark seismic zonation-mapping at volcanoes including uncertainties from seismic locations It is specifically designed for volcanoes that have been mapped with seismic tomography and where extensive seismic networks and high-rate seismicity are available These are today standards at many volcanoes worldwide La Réunion and those of the Canary Island all characterized by high-rate seismicity and flank instability The results at Etna constrain a volume of low (almost-absent) seismicity persistent across a 16 years period We interpret this volume as a portion of the feeding system of the volcano embedded in a high velocity body the VLS represents the zone of transition between seismicity caused only by transient dike-related activity (west of the VLS) and seismicity caused by mixed magmatic and gravitational components The model provides the first 3D seismic evidence of the different dynamics affecting the deeper and shallower portion of flank closest to the feeding systems with important implications on the estimation of the volumes affected by sliding and the forces causing it Only time-dependent analyses will provide exact spatial correlations of the VLS with source deformation models insight into the temporal instability of the eastern flank and whether the VLS is a stationary feature or can be reconstructed only after a major eruption of the volcano The used software (VolGIS) provides graphic outputs that coincide with those shown in the article and in the Supplementary Material.

Guardo came up with a tool to get the attention of local residents and elected leaders "PLANETCIVIC," in hopes that people will become more engaged in their community and inspire change "PLANETCIVIC serves as a virtual town hall where issues are ranked by popularity and people can come to get informed and engage with elected officials and other community leaders who can move the needle," according to its mission statement allows fellow Montclair residents to create an account and vote for initiatives they want to see move forward in Montclair Top ones included "Improve lighting and visibility in Montclair" and "Town administration: Declare Montclair a sanctuary." Each person who signs up gets a limited number of votes to use That way "they will need to think a little harder what’s really important to them," Guardo said Residents can create their own initiatives within a matter of minutes There is also a section where residents can start profiles on civic leaders and volunteers in town and other users can "thank" those volunteers for their work in the community to ensure that only Montclair residents are weighing in on Montclair topics "We are creating a sense of community and as a result it’s important that real people with real names can be participants of the platform," Guardo said "There's an agency and accountability to this organization that we hope creates a pure discourse where people aren't just shooting off their mouths a communications consultant for Guardo and PLANETCIVIC Guardo noticed Spain's economic crisis and high unemployment prompted millions of citizens to camp out in a square for 27 days in protest "The system wasn’t built for anything to change." Guardo became "more and more passionate" about his idea of creating something where people could become more involved and have a positive impact he left his job in finance to focus solely on developing this concept "My wife was not very excited about me leaving my job so it took a lot of time to convince her this is what I really want to do," he said He noted that PLANETCIVIC doesn't take a position on the initiatives and doesn't influence them Guardo said feedback has been "incredible" so far He intends to spread the word through social and local media The website has already caught the attention of elected leaders in town Second Ward Township Councilperson Robin Schlager said Guardo showed her how the site works and she feels it's a "great tool." "Javier’s new website would make it easier for residents to take a poll or take the temperature of what their neighbors are thinking," Schlager said I would like to know how folks are feeling So maybe I could see myself using it in the future for various issues I thought it was a really positive thing," she added Mayor Robert Jackson agreed that it can be useful for residents and elected officials This content references scientific studies and academic research Our team of licensed nutritionists and dietitians strives to be objective We are committed to bringing you researched expert-driven content to help you make more informed decisions around food We know how important making choices about your overall health is and we strive to provide you with the best information possible A post shared by marinadiguardo (@marinadiguardo) Marina appeared recently at The Power of Confidence conference at the Palazzo Parigi she said there: "Our self-esteem is built from childhood our mother lay the foundations for our personal fulfillment when an effective parental contribution is lacking it becomes important to grant ourselves the attention the trust that has not been reserved for us and to become our own parents."

Volume 10 - 2022 | https://doi.org/10.3389/feart.2022.849152 Active seismic experiments allow reconstructing the subsurface structure of volcanoes with unprecedented resolution and are vital to improve the interpretation of volcanic processes They require a quality assessment for thousands of seismic waveforms recorded at hundreds of stations in the shortest amount of time the processing necessary to obtain reliable images from such massive datasets demands signal processing and selection strategies specific to the inversions attempted we present a semi-automated workflow for data selection and inversion of amplitude-dependent information using the original TOMODEC2005 dataset The workflow is built to tomographic techniques using amplitude information and can be generalised to passive seismic imaging It first selects data depending on standard attributes like the presence of zeroes across all seismic waveforms waveform selections depend on inversion-specific attributes like the delay of the maximum amplitude of the waveform or the quality of coda-wave decays The automatic workflow and final visual selections produce a dataset reconstructing anomalies at a node spacing of 2 km imaging a high-attenuation anomaly in the centre of the Deception Island bay Attenuation models are then obtained at a node spacing of 1 km highlighting bodies of highest attenuation scattered across the island and a NW-SE trend in the high-attenuation anomaly in the central bay These results show the effect of the local extension regime on volcanic structures providing details on the eruptive history and evolution of the shallow magmatic and hydrothermal systems The selection workflow can be easily generalised to other amplitude-dependent tomographic techniques when applied to active seismic surveys Image improvements from the original dataset are minor when selecting data using standard attributes Tomographic maps become drastically more stable and consistent between different frequencies and resolutions when data selection targets attributes specific to the inversion Simplified regional tectonic map and location of the South Shetland Islands (A) and map of Deception Island with toponymics (B) Given the quantity of seismic traces produced by these experiments an automatic or quasi-automatic system preliminary to inversion is necessary the obtained dataset must be applied to the corresponding imaging code to compare the results quantitatively with the same standard is used to perform data processing and inversion The majority of the analysis focuses on reducing errors during the processing phases increasing consistency between different node spacing and frequencies We show that we reduce residuals by targeting the inversion results while increasing resolution on structures without any additional computational cost these criteria do not target the ability of the dataset to perform a specific task as imaging coda attenuation: such criteria could remove waveforms from datasets unnecessarily (A): Trace with spurious signal; (B): Trace with null values; (C): Traces identified visually as being usable The user choice for the first four iterations is to exclude those waveforms: with a coda-window smaller than 4 seconds; whose logarithmic coda decay had a small correlation coefficient relative to a line; showing recurrent glitches at specific stations Comparison between selection parameters at each selection iteration and relative to the signal-to-noise ratio Summary table of the additional parameters considered The anti-aliasing filter attenuates higher spectral bands hindering the tomographic analysis For each dataset, we obtain four Qc−1 maps depending on frequencies at constant node spacing of 2 km (Figure 4) and 1 km (Figure 5). The input and output of the chequerboard test for each spatial resolution are shown in Figure 6 Maps of coda attenuation (Qc−1) obtained with a node spacing of 2 km Each panel corresponds to the results obtained with the original dataset (A) 20283 traces) or after removing traces: (B) with an average percentage of zeros greater then 40% (14972 traces); (C) whose main peak amplitude was later than 6 s (13105 traces); (D) having a coda decay correlation coefficient lower than 0.6 (7895 traces); (E) at stations with instruments producing spikes (7197 traces) TB: Telephone Bay; PC: Pendulum Cove; MP: Mount Pond; EP: Entrance Point; MK: Mount Kirkwood; FB: Fumarole Bay FIGURE 5. As for Figure 4 for a node spacing of 1 km Each panel corresponds to a different iteration Chequerboard test input and output maps related to the datasets obtained after each iteration The colorbar shows the variations of (Qc−1) The original dataset comprises 20283 traces with a duration of 10 s each. We obtain eight attenuation maps - one for each frequency at 2 km (Figure 4A) and 1 km (Figure 5A) node spacing together with the associated chequerboard test (Figure 6A The Qc−1 anomalies obtained at 1 km node spacing (Figure 5B) are similar to those obtained in the previous step at 6 Hz; however, at the other frequencies, the maps seem to resolve the central part of the island. The primary anomalies are located in the inner bay, mainly north, northeast and west, in the areas of Telephone Bay, Pendulum Cove and Fumarole Bay, respectively (Figure 1A) The most likely explanation is an inappropriate definition of the damping parameter for this iteration; however the workflow still stores the results due to the success of the 1-km resolution results The results are shown in Figures 4C, 5C). For the first time, the Qc−1 anomalies at 1 km resolution appear consistent at different frequencies. They are primarily located in four areas: Telephone Bay in the north; Pendulum Cove in the northeast; Fumarole Bay in the west; and Entrance Point in the south (Figure 1) only the anomalies at 6 and 21 Hz are consistent with each other and with those at 1 km the primary variations appear in an area not resolved by the chequerboard test The resolution tests give scientifically-meaningful results 6c The most significant change from previous patterns is the general attenuation increase and smoother high-attenuation anomalies in the inner bay the Qc−1 maps still lack coherency between different frequencies and node spacing suggesting that some undesired traces are still in the dataset The results (Figures 4D, 5D) show for the first time homogeneous patterns between the maps at all frequencies and resolutions the areas of highest Qc−1 are 3: in the northeast (Pendulum Cove) west-southwest (in between Fumarole Bay) and in the south (Entrance Point) This is the first iteration where a low Qc−1 anomaly appears in the Mount Kirkwood area In addition to all these punctual anomalies a wide NNW-SSE orientated high Qc−1 anomaly covers the inner bay The primary difference between 1 and 2 km node spacing is in the extent of the anomalies the high Qc−1 anomaly covers from Pendulum Cove to Telephone Bay in the northern area it covers the Neptune Bellows area completely a high Qc−1 anomaly is located in the west At 2 km resolution, a low Qc−1 anomaly appears at the south end of Mount Pond, while, between 21 and 9 Hz, another low Qc−1 anomaly is located east of Mount Kirkwood. Also, for the first time, all these anomalies fall in the resolved area (Figure 6D): this aspect together with the similarities between maps at all frequencies and node spacing suggests we could stop the selection process there are several differences between the last results and those obtained in the previous iterations The most evident differences at 1 km are: • the high Qc−1 anomaly in the Fumarole Bay area is shifted toward Mount Kirkwood; • the low Qc−1 anomaly in the northern area is more defined and localised; • a new low Qc−1 anomaly appears at the south end of Mount Pond These values are very similar to those obtained in the previous iteration This procedure estimates uncertainty more accurately providing an additional tool to interpret the results Higher damping (21.6) outputs an unsolved chequerboard pattern At 15 Hz and 1 km node spacing, lower damping (0.11) produces results where two positive anomalies located south of Fumarole Bay and Pendulum Cove dominate the map. However, these areas are unsolved in the chequerboard test, while for a higher order of magnitude (11.8), the chequerboard test is completely unresolved (Supplementary Figure S4). In the last case (15 Hz, 2 km, Supplementary Figure S5) the chequerboard test looks completely solved for low damping while at a higher order of magnitude (15.5) All the maps obtained using different damping values show lower consistency and resolution than the original damping: we conclude that the selected damping is the best compromise to interpret the maps Through our selections, we evaluate the average value of (Table 2): • the mean amplitude of the noise windows (AmpNoise); • the mean amplitude of the signal; • the signal-to-noise-ratio value; • the mean amplitude in the coda windows; • the maximum power spectrum mean amplitude (MaxPowAmp); • the frequency of the maximum power spectrum (MaxPowF); • the mean auto-correlation value (AutoCorr); the summation of all the value ≥500; the average difference between a spike and the next value; • the standard deviation of the Short Term Average vs The chosen iteration order minimises the iteration number and avoids the excessive removal of waveforms. To verify the quality of the sequence, we used the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), the first discrimination parameter used to select seismic waveforms in standard seismic applications (Valentine and Woodhouse, 2010) Noise is measured on a window of 1 s before the arrival of the P-wave The SNR is normalized for the window used to compute the signal and noise amplitudes very high SNR values represent signals with spikes This value decreases from 658.84 in the original dataset to 35.73 in the final one Table 1 shows that selecting data depending on the SNR worsens the fit and removes around 1000 additional waveforms without changing dramatically the correlation coefficient, the main marker of the quality of the data used to perform the tomography. These could still be waveforms suitable for a reliable tomographic image. We remove one-third of the dataset using only the SNR ratio (Table 1) (30.94%) causing: 1) a higher percentage of zeroes and a worse average correlation coefficient than in any iteration; 2) an average peak delay higher than any selected dataset except Dataset 2 we cannot ensure that a fully automatic selection would be as successful with another dataset The sequence chosen to apply selection parameters is irrelevant if the last automatic selection is performed using the attribute that defines the data quality in the tomographic procedure this parameter is the correlation coefficient of the coda decay It is the quality of a P- or S-wave picks in travel-time tomography A successful selection will substantially reduce the dataset without deteriorating the resolution in the area of interest allowing to reconstruct smaller-scale details without redundancy in the data we used the similarity between maps obtained at different frequencies as an additional marker of solution stability This qualitative approach can be likely improved using a 2D correlation analysis They can thus provide an essential link between what we know from field and modelling studies and what we can image of the volcano interior This work is a stepping stone to produce more refined Active seismic experiments are rapidly becoming the standard in volcano tomography we demonstrate that efficient data selection strategies can retrieve stable and resolved anomalies that remain blurred without them Once applied to other available active datasets the workflow could reveal fine details of the volcanic structures that have remained invisible but could be essential to understand the volcano dynamics Its application to passive seismicity is certainly more challenging given the uncertainties associated with volcano seismicity detection and characterisation selection strategies targeting specific tomographic techniques could drastically improve detection of structures at hazardous volcanoes with decades of seismic records An inversion-specific semi-automated selection strategy applied to an active seismic dataset recorded at Deception volcano improves stability and robustness of tomographic maps exploiting amplitude information The combination of standard and inversion-specific selection attributes improves images obtained with different node spacing and at multiple frequencies showing a consistent picture of the volcano interior These maps are compatible with existing attenuation maps The inversion for coda attenuation using the final dataset shows higher resolution on the centre of the caldera at the expense of lateral illumination The images highlight sites of eruptions and extensional trends if confirmed by comparison with the extensive geological and geochemical records could better link the present state of the caldera with its geological past Volcano tomography using active datasets is now well past its infancy Our results demonstrate that it cannot simply rely on data-selection strategies taken from global tomography or seismic exploration in oil and gas Attributes like coda attenuation are not part of standard processing procedures for seismic imaging Our method focuses on object-oriented data quality first evidencing the most prominent standard attributed biasing results (the percentage of zeroes across the dataset) and then selecting datasets to optimise the attributes used for the inversion The results prove that using only standard quality assessments leads to trade-offs and unnecessary loss of information The same procedure can be defined for any attribute used to do imaging and the method is easily extendable to passive datasets that are more relevant for volcano-monitoring institutions the adaptation of these workflows to the detection of seismic signals produced by the volcano could help the long-standing effort of the community to recognise pre-eruptive signals Once combined with the increasing interdisciplinary knowledge available at Deception Island and other volcanoes their implementation in passive tomography can help better constrain the interpretation of pre-existing structures current processes and future eruptions by avoiding trade-offs from redundant data Publicly available datasets were analyzed in this study.

The 19-year-old is competing on the popular TV show American Ninja Warrior, where he has become the youngest national finalist in the show’s 10 seasons. “I expected to (do well), I knew I had the capability of doing it. At other competitions the pros are in, I beat them, so why couldn’t I do it here,” Day said. Day was a typical child growing up, playing baseball and a handful of other sports but ninja-style contests caught his attention when he first saw American Ninja Warrior on TV. Day, who is from Northampton County, continued to watch the show until four years ago when he told his father, Brian, he wanted to quit and pursue ninja. His father, who was also his baseball coach, was onboard with the decision and the two created a dream that Zach would one day compete on the TV show that inspired him years before. “I started watching around ten years ago when it first came to the U.S. and then it took off from there,” Day said. Day’s journey to competing on the TV show was just as unique as the competition itself. To train for the unique competitions, Day built equipment in his backyard and works out at two gyms; one in Brodheadsville, the other in New Jersey. At the Brodheadsville gym, Freedom Gymnastics, is where Day spends the most time training and also teaches a ninja class for children. The gym’s owner, Matthew Guardo, was a contestant on the show two years ago and trains with Day at least twice a week. While Day always dreamed of competing, the rules required entrants to be 21 years old, until this year when they changed the rule two weeks before the application deadline. “He’s been living this for years, trying to get better and then two weeks before the applications were due, they opened it to 19-year-olds. He’s thinking ‘Alright, I got two years,’ then all of a sudden he’s got two weeks,” Guardo said. Day applied and eventually learned he was one of the thousands of applicants chosen to compete in a regional event held in Philadelphia. Yet for Day, the moment he dreamed about was one marred with sadness he learned about his selection on the day of his father’s funeral. The man, who coached him for years and had been his biggest supporter, passed away from a heart attack. While he is not present to watch him compete, Day knows his father would be proud of what he’s accomplished. “He would obviously be super proud. It’s been our dream for, you know, over five years now and I know he’s up there looking down at me super proud,” Day said. Despite being the youngest finalist, Day said that the age difference did not intimidate him. Day felt that his training regimen, in addition to cutting 10 pounds of weight, left him in top physical condition even among elite competitors. Day, who stands about 5’6”, does not boast the body of a typical professional athlete, but that did not faze him when competing against top competitors – some of which are former professional athletes. “I feel like I have an advantage over them, this is what I do. I consider myself professional at this, while they’re professional at their other thing,” Day said. For Day, the past two months have been a waiting game when it comes to discussing his performance on the show. While the finals were filmed in Las Vegas during June, he is unable to discuss anything beyond what has aired on TV. The next round of the finals airs at 8 p.m. Monday, Sept. 10.

Material and Methods: A questionnaire was developed and sent by secure e-mail to 1,480 clinicians involved in ART worldwide. One hundred and forty-eighth clinicians from 34 countries returned completed questionnaires. Results: Progesterone support is usually started on the day of oocyte retrieval. Eighty percent of clinicians applied the administration of vaginal progesterone only. Intramuscular progesterone was prescribed by 6%, while oral progestin or subcutaneous progesterone were each prescribed by 5% of clinicians, respectively. Progesterone was administered until 8-10 weeks' gestation by 35% and 12 weeks by 52% of respondents. Volume 11 - 2020 | https://doi.org/10.3389/fendo.2020.00500 Background: Luteal phase support (LPS) in assisted reproduction cycles has been widely investigated in recent years Although progesterone represents the preferential product for luteal phase supplementation in cycles with fresh embryo transfer there is ongoing debate as to when to start and whether there is a place for additional agents fertility specialists do not always adhere to evidence-based recommendations in their clinical practice The aim of this worldwide web-based survey is to document the currently used protocols for luteal phase support and appraisal tendencies of drug prescription behavior and to compare these to the existing evidence-based literature Material and Methods: A questionnaire was developed and sent by secure e-mail to 1,480 clinicians involved in ART worldwide One hundred and forty-eighth clinicians from 34 countries returned completed questionnaires Results: Progesterone support is usually started on the day of oocyte retrieval Eighty percent of clinicians applied the administration of vaginal progesterone only Intramuscular progesterone was prescribed by 6% while oral progestin or subcutaneous progesterone were each prescribed by 5% of clinicians Progesterone was administered until 8-10 weeks' gestation by 35% and 12 weeks by 52% of respondents Conclusions: Vaginal administration was the preferred route for luteal phase support The reported emerging use of the oral route confirms the expected shift in clinical practice as a result of recent evidence showing a reassuring safety score of oral progestins In spite of the lack of evidence supporting the continuation of luteal support until 12 weeks' gestation this practice was adhered to by more than half of the clinicians surveyed highlighting the difference between evidence-based medicine and real-life practices Nevertheless, there is great variation in the duration of LPS in clinical practice: some clinicians discontinue LPS on the day of a positive hCG test, whereas others prefer to continue LPS until 12 weeks of pregnancy. Interestingly, there appears to be the tendency toward prolonging progesterone supplementation until 8–10 weeks following conception, in spite of a lack of available evidence in support of such a practice (26) we set out to conduct a survey aiming to document the implementation of LPS protocols in clinical practice and to appraise tendencies of drug prescription behavior We conducted a two-phase web-based survey sent to gynecologists/reproductive endocrinologists involved in ART In the first phase of the survey (April-May 2017) the questionnaire was sent to clinicians based in Tunisia we decided to expand the survey internationally and to include clinicians involved in ART outside Tunisia in order to increase the generalisability of the study data All clinicians surveyed were members of ESHRE, world-renowned in vitro fertilization (IVF) practicing gynecologists and authors of papers in Q1-2 scientific reproductive medicine journals. The survey consisted of four questions regarding the use of progesterone for luteal phase supplementation in IVF/ICSI cycles. Questions are listed in Table 1 The questionnaires were sent via secure email and responses were collected securely by email or telephone contact Invited participants who did not respond to the survey were not contacted again and no incentives were provided for participation Data from both study phases were included for analysis Our survey was conducted in agreement with the GDPR privacy policy The survey only contains names and e-mail addresses of clinicians patients' personal identifying information was excluded The clinicians' personal identifying information and the survey data were securely stored in a dedicated database protected by password These data will not be shared with any third parties According to Bartlett et al. (27) in order to obtain a sample of 110 subjects considering a margin of error of 0.03 and alfa level of 0.05 we considered that our sample was appropriate to drag robust conclusions Between April-May 2017 and August-October 2018, 1,480 clinicians received the survey. Of those, 148 from 34 different countries returned completed questionnaires yielding a response rate of 10%. The respondents were distributed as follows: 24 were based in Tunisia and there were 124 clinicians from 33 other countries worldwide. The geographical distribution of respondents is displayed in Supplementary Figure 1 When do you start luteal-phase support in IVF/ICSI cycle for fresh embryo transfer following hCG triggering Seventy one percent (105/148) of the clinicians prescribed progesterone administration to their patients from the day of the oocyte retrieval onwards LPS using progesterone was initiated on the day after the oocyte collection by 23.6% (35/148) of doctors and 2.02% (3/148) started the progesterone supplementation 2 and 3 days after egg collection Eighty percent (119/148) of the clinicians preferred to use the vaginal progesterone alone as LPS; 4% (6/148) of them used vaginal progesterone in association with intramuscular or oral progesterone. Intramuscular progesterone alone, was used by 6% (9/148) of doctors and oral progesterone by 5% (7/148) of doctors. The usage of the subcutaneous progesterone was reported by 5% (7/148) of clinicians (Table 2) Distribution of progesterone routes according to the number of clinicians and dosage Considering the total number of clinicians recurring to vaginal progesterone as LPS (80%; 119/148) the most used formulation and dose for vaginal route were the vaginal tablets at doses of 600 mg/d (69.3 %; 103/119) Lower doses of 200 or 400 mg/d were used by 10.7% (16/119) of doctors Intra-muscular progesterone was equally used in dosage of 50/100 mg/d (8%; 12/148). Subcutaneous in dosage of 25 mg/d (5%; 7/148) and oral dydrogesterone in dosage of 20–30 mg/d (7%; 10/148) (Table 2) How long do you continue the administration of progesterone during early pregnancy Comparison between EBM on LPS and Survey results Although our results are on a par with those previously published (12, 26, 28) we observed that the intramuscular route for the administration of progesterone is still used by a significant percentage of gynecologists the respondents of our survey reported an increasing uptake of oral dydrogesterone it appears that LPS is often continued until 12 weeks of gestation worldwide The favorable clinical outcomes after initiation of progesterone supplementation between the evening of the day of oocyte retrieval and day 3 after oocyte retrieval may be related to the inhibitory function of progesterone on uterine contractility in anticipation of the embryo transfer (ET) (29). However, administration of progesterone before oocyte retrieval has a detrimental impact on outcomes (24) According to results of a Cochrane meta-analysis, hCG is not superior to progesterone for LPS; furthermore, analysis of pooled data pointed toward a higher risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome when hCG was administered in the luteal phase (12–14) The reported combination of progesterone via the vaginal route and an additional route a regimen that has not been supported by any scientific evidence may be linked to the potentially suboptimal adherence of some patients to the vaginal route; it has been hypothesized that clinicians may decide to add a different route on top of the vaginal one in order to exclude the possibility of suboptimal administration Considering the results of our survey, the subcutaneous route deserves to be mentioned since it is applied by 5% of clinicians. Indeed, the administration of subcutaneous progesterone is considered a valuable alternative to the vaginal and intramuscular route showing a similar efficacy and safety profile (16, 18, 35) With respect to the duration of LPS, several studies support the continuation of progesterone supplementation until the ultrasound detection of fetal heart activity (36–40). Furthermore, robust scientific evidence exists to suggest that LPS should be administered at least until the pregnancy test (18, 25) an explanation to this trend in a fresh ART cycle may be adopted from the increasingly used artificial endometrial preparation protocol (the so-called HRT cycle) for frozen embryo transfer where extended luteal phase supplementation could be required because of the lack of endogenous progesterone production in the absence of a corpus luteum the exact reason for the prescription of extended LPS is unknown this survey indicates a trend toward extended LPS in ART cycles with fresh ET which underscores an important difference between the available scientific evidence and clinical practice although the data of our survey study illustrate global LPS prescription they are a mere estimation of real clinical practice because the responses provided in the survey have not been verified by objective data Our survey illustrates also that vaginal and intramuscular progesterone for LPS is still most commonly prescribed although other subcutaneous and oral routes for LPS are starting to emerge The datasets generated for this study are available on request to the

Fleischer didn't have a single female engineering professor She drew support instead from friends in the field women who were bucking trends long before universities began concerted efforts to attract women to math and science fields "The more people you can get contributing your ideas - it just brings a different perspective to the workplace "You've got a much better perspective now." women going into engineering at Villanova say next to no one is surprised they're interested in the field Many are following in the footsteps of mothers or older sisters And Villanova's trend toward a more diverse engineering school is holding - the school's incoming freshman class in 2012 was also 31 percent female "It's definitely a really great field to get into - it just opens so many doors for you," said Rebecca Weigand "It's not as intimidating as people make it out to be." Weigand is staying at Villanova to complete a graduate degree - "grad school gets even smaller for female engineers but I've never been intimidated by that," she said "You meet a few people along the way that question why you're there," said Hillary Guardo who will start a nuclear reactor engineering job with the Navy after graduation you'll meet more people out there who are excited to have women diving in." Freedom Gymnastics on Route 209 in Brodheadsville has been in the forefront of aspiring gymnasts in the Poconos for more than a year competitive gymnastics and cheerleading under director Matt Guardo of Stroudsburg last month hosted its first United States Association of Independent Gymnastics Clubs competition pitting 54 gymnasts from four teams in Pennsylvania and New Jersey but always reach for the stars," remains the motto of the program Formerly a part of the Elite Dance and Gym Center the facility later moved in late 2012 into a building of its own at 116 Pilgrim Way across from the Western Pocono Community Library who works Lead Technical Consulting Engineer at AT&T decided to become fully involved with the center when it was in danger of closing first joined the facility as a partner and then took over the center when they moved to their new facility in Pilgrim Way Eight USAG certified professional instructors coach around 200 gymnasts in various age groups and skill levels in a 14,000-square-foot center year round also known as "Polo" in gymnastics circles "The coaches helped me a lot in setting up the facility and expanding the programs," Guardo said Students are grouped based on their ages and the skill levels and can learn each of the four events — floor exercise The "Baby Bears," also known as 'Mommy and me' classes consists of toddlers from 18 months to three years involves music and movement exploration as part of the curriculum The "Mighty Bears" consist of 3- to 5-year-olds in a more skill oriented approach Adult classes focus on adults who want to develop their core and flexibility "It's not about age; it's about attitude," says Guardo who also takes adult classes to learn new skills "It is an excellent way to stay in shape and stay fit." Guardo calls the classes a little challenging but encourages the participants to stick with it to improve upper body strength and mobility over time "It is about challenging yourself physically and mentally," said Guardo who notes that there was a 60-year-old gentleman who took classes for recreation Those who have never done gymnastics or had very little gymnastics experience take beginner classes while the intermediate classes involve skills such as cartwheel The advanced class participants are well-versed in back walkover and back handspring with a light spot The center boasts having the most competitive team in the area For those who like to progress beyond recreational classes there is the Pre-Team/Developmental Team and USAG competitive teams for levels 2 to 7 and USAIGC competitive teams for levels copper is also offered to improve and develop skills Cheerleading groups from schools and competitive cheerleading teams from around the Poconos brush up on group tumbling The five areas of emphasis include tumbling Tumbling Advanced takes it to a higher level There are back handspring and cheerleading clinics Programs are also offered for special needs children "Each child is evaluated to see what their needs are and their strength is," said instructor Jessica Holmes who has been working with three special needs children stretching and extending their limbs are part of their routine helps them to socialize better and helps the children get over fear."

Morandante/davaotoday.com) DAVAO CITY – The Filipino inventor of the hybrid monorail – which uses magnets – believes that his invention is the cheaper way to solve the traffic problem in the country. Architect Jose Guardo, Jr. in a press conference on Monday said maglev or magnetic levitation train “is a technology made of lightweight materials which uses electromagnets and neodymium iron boron to create repulsions from the lower part and enable the train to levitate and propel the coach”. He said Japan and Germany are the first to use this technology. Japan, Guardo said, has broken the record of 603 kilometers per hour. He said in Shanghai, China, where they use Germany’s invention, the 30-kilometer travel from Pudong International Airport to Lin Yang station “only takes eight minutes running at 430 kilometers an hour.” “In our invention, we don’t aim for high speed yet because our stations are nearer. Probably we can make it 300 kilometers an hour when traveling long distance. But between station to station, it’s just 65-85 kilometers an hour,” he said. Guardo said the Filipino’s version of the maglev train is cheaper than that of Germany, which costs US$40.9 million per kilometer of the rail. “Here we use, lightweight materials like carbon fiber and permanent magnet and aluminum for levitation which is only US$2 million per kilometer,” he said. Guardo said even the materials needed for the construction of the Hybrid Maglev Monorail Train can be sourced locally. “Kining nga magnet kusog kaayo ni siya, magnet neodymium iron boron. 60 percent sa magnet is made of iron. Naa ra sa atong tugkaran, naa sa Surigao, Dinagat, nasa Zambales sa Palawan kaning mga mineral resources ani kinahanglan sa atong magnet (This magnet neodymium iron boron is very strong. 60 percent of magnet is made from iron which is found in Surigao, Dinagat, Zambales and Palawan),” he said. “I use aluminum for levitation because it is cheaper and it is the most abundant element on earth. The neodymium iron boron is 60 percent iron, which is found in Surigao and is mined by China,” said Guardo. “The buying rate of high grade (nickel) which has 70 percent iron costs US$9 per ton,” he said. “This really is beneficial because we don’t need to import the train. The trains from China costs US$1.8 million per coach,” Guardo said. Guardo also said that Maglev train is more low-maintenance because of its materials. He said the Metro Rail Transit’s  cost of maintenance can cost US$1 million per month while the Maglev train’s cost of maintenance is pegged at P5 million pesos a month. “Maglev train levitates, so it requires less energy to propel the train,” he said. He also said that they are proposing that the station here in Davao will use solar power for the train. Guardo’s team proposes to put up three loops in Davao namely Ecoland loop, airport loop and the downtown loop. The loop he said will help the train avoid occupying the road right of way. He said the monorail train  “will only travel one way, either clockwise or counterclockwise depending on the situation.” He also said that unlike the MRT, the supporting structure of the monorail train will only measure one meter by one meter and the rail 1.5-2 meters. A transportation study by the Japan International Cooperation Agency last year said that traffic congestion in Metro Manila can worsen by 2030 which can cost the Philippine economy P6 billion a day if not addressed. Guardo said the project is recognized by the Department of Science and Technology 11 and is now planning to have a prototype to test the technology. He said the prototype only costs P300 million. Virgilio Sangutan, president of the Davao Inventors Association, said there is a plan now to utilize five hectares of the Mindanao Science Centrum in Bago Oshiro Tugbok district to design five stations. He said a coach of a Maglev train will be used to transfer visitors from a station to another. Sangutan said the coach can carry 50 passengers. Eduard Geguera, operation manager of the project said they have already formed a group of support team composed of electrical engineers and mechanical engineers who are all from Davao City. He said they already sent their letter proposal to Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte and are still waiting for feedback. “We also requested documents from the City Planning because there have been feasibility studies that were already conducted, and it is where we will base our design for elevation,” said Geguera. Guardo said  “we can really claim that this is a Filipino invention. I am sure this can create jobs because we (are creating) a new industry.” He said once validated, “we can also export this to other countries.” (davaotoday.com) when I look at themShine just like mineBut I can't understandWhat are they about[Coro]But if you find me one dayAnd now you think differentI'll save you a bit of faithTo open the eyes and see youBut if you find me one dayAnd now you think differеntI'll save you my morning lightMy eyes my lovе and my pillowYou might also like[Verso 2]I have two pending kissesOne for each cheekAnd a crystal abyssFor each injuryI have the missing spaceThat your hug would occupyIf we were given the caseOf seeing each other far from people[Pre-Coro]I have the life too shortAnd the decent lookAnd I don't mind thinkingThe impossibility of having you[Coro]But if you find me one dayAnd now you think differentI'll save you a bit of faithTo open the eyes and see youBut if you find me one dayAnd now you think differentI'll save you my morning lightMy eyes my love and my pillowEmbedCancelHow to Format Lyrics: To learn more, check out our transcription guide or visit our transcribers forum Find answers to frequently asked questions about the song and explore its deeper meaning POLITIKO | politiko.com.ph Councilor Jerry Guardo proposed an ordinance mandating electric scooter (e-scooter) or bike (e-bike) drivers in Cebu City to wear protective helmets and reflectorized stickers/vest/lights Guardo’s proposal entitled “E-scooter and Bike Helmet and Reflectorized Ordinance” was referred to the Committee on Laws Under the new normal brought on by the coronavirus pandemic bicycles and e-scooters/e-bikes have become a necessity for people who commute in the city Section 4 of the proposed ordinance provides that all e-scooter and bike drivers shall at all times wear protective helmets and wear reflectorized vest/stickers/lights while driving on any type of road and highway within the city Any person driving an e-scooter or e-bike on any road in the city shall drive the same at a careful and prudent speed of not more than 30 kilometers per hour and of any other condition then and there existing The violators will be penalized with a fine of P1,500 for the first offense; P3,000 second offense; and P5,000 and confiscation of the e-scooter/bike “The increasing numbers of accidents involving e-scooters or bikes within the City of Cebu compromise the maintenance of peace and order and the promotion of public security and safety necessary for the advantage of the general welfare of the people,” the proposed measure read Engage in thought-provoking discussions and connect with like-minded individuals.
