TL;DR: In this paper, high volume air monitors were used to collect these samples on polycarbonate membrane filters and then analyzed for trace elements including metals such as aluminum, copper, cadmium, lead and zinc.
Abstract: Atmospheric particulate samples were collected from 1985 through 1991 at a remote site in Torres del Paine National Park, Chile. High‐volume air monitors were used to collect these samples on polycarbonate membrane filters. The filters were then analyzed for trace elements including metals such as aluminum, copper, cadmium, lead, and zinc. The results indicate that atmospheric concentrations of metals at Torres del Paine are comparable or lower than those measured at other remote locations worldwide. Enrichment factors were calculated for each metal to compare the relative concentrations of these metals in the atmosphere to that of the soil. These enrichment factors indicate that despite the very low atmospheric levels observed to date at Torres del Paine, cadmium, lead and copper appear enriched in the atmosphere.

TL;DR: In this article, an estimator of the standard deviation of the Buckley-James estimator by using plug-in estimators is proposed. But no simulation has been done to directly estimate the asymptotic variance of the BJE.
Abstract: The Buckley–James estimator (BJE) is a widely recognized approach in dealing with right-censored linear regression models. There have been a lot of discussions in the literature on the estimation of the BJE as well as its asymptotic distribution. So far, no simulation has been done to directly estimate the asymptotic variance of the BJE. Kong and Yu [Asymptotic distributions of the Buckley–James estimator under nonstandard conditions, Statist. Sinica 17 (2007), pp. 341–360] studied the asymptotic distribution under discontinuous assumptions. Based on their methodology, we recalculate and correct some missing terms in the expression of the asymptotic variance in Theorem 2 of their work. We propose an estimator of the standard deviation of the BJE by using plug-in estimators. The estimator is shown to be consistent. The performance of the estimator is accessed through simulation studies under discrete underline distributions. We further extend our studies to several continuous underline distributions throug...

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the potential active fault geometries for both strands of the NAF system by comparing stress models of various fault geometry in these regions to a record of focal mechanisms and inferred paleostress from a lineament analysis.
Abstract: The North Anatolian Fault (NAF) is a 1200 km long dextral strike-slip fault which is part of an east-west trending dextral shear zone (NAF system) between the Anatolian and Eurasian plates. The North Anatolian shear zone widens to the west, complicating potential earthquake rupture paths and highlighting the importance of understanding the geometry of active fault systems. In the central portion of the NAF system, just west of the town of Bolu, the NAF bifurcates into the northern and southern strands, which converge, then diverge to border the Marmara Sea. At their convergence east of the Marmara Sea, these two faults are linked through the Mudurnu Valley. The westward continuation of these two fault traces is marked by further complexities in potential active fault geometry, particularly in the Marmara Sea for the northern strand, and towards the Biga Peninsula for the southern strand. Potential active fault geometries for both strands of the NAF are evaluated by comparing stress models of various fault geometries in these regions to a record of focal mechanisms and inferred paleostress from a lineament analysis. For the Marmara region, the best-fit active fault geometry consists of the northern and southern bounding faults of the Marmara basin, as the model representing this geometry better replicated primary stress orientations seen in focal mechanism data and stress field interpretations. In the Biga Peninsula region, the active geometry of the southern strand has the southern fault merging with the northern fault through a linking fault in a narrow topographic valley. This geometry was selected over the other two as it best replicated the maximum horizontal stresses determined from focal mechanism data and a lineament analysis.
