9/56 Year Cycle: Panics, Earthquakes, Hurricanes and Volcanoes

McMinn, David - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2013

This paper explores cyclic commonalities evident in the timing of four phenomena – financial panics, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and Atlantic hurricanes. Surprisingly, a 9/56 year cycle could be established for all four categories. This cycle in turn could be strongly linked to Moon Sun...

Models of Ground Deformation and Eruption Magnitude from a Deep Source at Popocatepetl Volcano, Central Mexico

Espíndola, Juan; Godinez, Maria De Lourdes; Espindola, … - In: Natural Hazards 31 (2004) 1, pp. 191-207

Popocatepetl volcano in Central Mexico entered its latest stage of activity in late 1994. Due to the nature of its eruptive history and its location in a heavily populated area, it constitutes the highest risk in the cuntry. For this reason the volcano is currently under continuous surveillance;...

Acoustic signal associated with the bursting of a soap film which initially closes an overpressurized cavity

Vidal, V.; Géminard, J.-C.; Divoux, T.; Melo, F. - In: The European Physical Journal B - Condensed Matter and … 54 (2006) 3, pp. 321-339

We report an experimental study of the sound produced by the bursting of a thin liquid film, which initially closes an overpressurized cylindrical cavity. There is a need for a deep understanding of the phenomenon, which can be very useful in numerous practical cases. For instance, in the...
