Methodological advances in seismic noise imaging of the Alpine area by Paul, Anne, Pedersen, Helle A., Bodin, Thomas, Kästle, Emanuel, Soergel, Dorian, Alder, Chloé, Lu, Yang, Nouibat, Ahmed

“…The three-dimensional S-wave velocity models have been further improved by wave-equation based inversions accounting for the physics of seismic wave propagation, including elastic–acoustic coupling at the sea bottom. A beamforming approach has been developed to avoid systematic errors in the measurement of azimuthal anisotropy from seismic noise. …”

Migración interna y ciudades de América Latina: efectos sobre la composición de la población by Jorge Rodríguez Vignoli

“…Aunque cada ciudad tiene sus especificidades y las recomendaciones de política deben basarse en la realidad de cada una de ellas, en general se advierten efectos mixtos de la migración sobre las ciudades, ya que se ven favorecidas por el efecto sobre ciertos atributos (como el bono demográfico) pero en otros aspectos se ven debilitadas (como en la educación promedio). Cualquiera que sea el caso, los resultados sugieren que las políticas destinadas a influir sobre la inmigración -amén de desaconsejables e incompatibles con los acuerdos internacionales en materia de población, cuando se trata de medidas que limitan el libre desplazamiento de las personas- han perdido relevancia por cuanto los efectos cualitativos de la migración dependen principalmente de la emigración.…”
