An array of 7 three-component seismic sensors was tested for regional seismic monitoring in Russia. The array detected regional seismic phases from magnitudes 1.0-3.5 associated with mining. Horizontal components detected more S-waves than vertical components alone. Using all three components increased detection capability by 25% compared to just vertical components. Waveform cross-correlation between events showed higher signal-to-noise ratios for three-component templates versus just vertical components. The three-component array provided improved regional monitoring over single-component stations.

In the current study of mining activity within the Russian platform, we use the advantages of location and historical bulletins/catalogues of mining explosions recorded by small-aperture seismic array Mikhnevo (MHVAR). The Institute of Geospheres Dynamics (IDG) of the Russian Academy of Sciences runs seismic array MHVAR (54.950N; 37.767E) since 2004.
Small-aperture seismic array “Mikhnevo” includes ten vertical stations (solid triangles), with one station in the geometrical centre of the array (C00) and other nine stations distributed over three circles with radii of 130 m, 320 m, and 600 m. The array aperture in approximately 1.1 km. Two 3C stations (solid triangles in circles) were added to the outer circle in order to improve the overall stations sensitivity (detection threshold) and resolution. All stations are equipped with short-period seismometers SM3-KV, which are characterized by flat response between 0.8 Hz and 30 Hz and gain of 180,000 [Vs/m]. Later, a 3C broad band station (BB) was installed in the centre of the array for surface wave measurements. The array response function (only for 12 vertical channels) is similar to that for many small-aperture arrays. Such arrays are designed to measure high-frequency signals from regional and near-regional sources with magnitudes above 1.5-2.0.

MHVAR detects regional seismic phases (Pn, Sn, Lg, Rg) from various sources. Figure shows some selected waveforms with source-station distance decreasing up-down. Correspondingly the length of records decreases – for the closest mines it’s harder to distinguish between P and S phases.

More than 50 areas at regional and near regional distances with different levels of mining activity have been identified by MHVAR. Since 2004, thousands of events have been reported in the IDG seismic catalogue as mining explosions. The IDG publishes this mining event catalogue as a part of the annual issues of “Earthquakes in Russia”, which is available for the broader geophysical community. The map shows several selected mines at near-regional distances where MHVAR successfully detects events with magnitudes 1.0 and lower. We also show a few selected mines at regional distances with the largest events of magnitude (ML) 2.0 and above. Such events should be also detected by IMS arrays. Joint interpretation of signals detected by MHVAR and IMS arrays allows significant improvements in signal detection, location, characterization and identification of events in the IDG catalogue when the historical data are revisited. The work on joint analysis of the IDG and IMS data is possible under the “Contract for limited access to IMS data and IDC products” between the CTBTO and IDG, which allows obtaining data through 2011.
To begin with, we have chosen blasts with larger magnitudes from well-known ironstone mine Mikhailovskiy (red circle), which is situated at regional distances somewhere between MHVAR (~330 km) and IMS array AKASG

A highly magnetized twin-jet base pinpoints a supermassive black holeSérgio Sacani
Supermassive black holes (SMBH) are essential for the production of jets in radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGN). Theoretical
models based on (Blandford & Znajek 1977, MNRAS, 179, 433) extract the rotational energy from a Kerr black hole, which could
be the case for NGC1052, to launch these jets. This requires magnetic fields on the order of 103 G to 104 G. We imaged the vicinity
of the SMBH of the AGN NGC1052 with the Global Millimetre VLBI Array and found a bright and compact central feature that is
smaller than 1.9 light days (100 Schwarzschild radii) in radius. Interpreting this as a blend of the unresolved jet bases, we derive the
magnetic field at 1 Schwarzschild radius to lie between 200 G and 8:3 104 G consistent with Blandford & Znajek models.

Robust SINS/GNSS Integration Method for High Dynamic ApplicationsRadita Apriana
As high dynamic movement is always accompanied by colored noise which lacks of mathematical
model, traditional Kalman filtering based on an assumption of white Gaussian noise always faces serious
divergence. To enhance the performance in high dynamic environment with uncertain colored noise, a kind
of robust filtering based on H-infinity technology is developed. State model of the algorithm is derived from
SINS error propagation. Both position and velocity errors are used as the measurements. A simulation
system which includes a tri-axial turntable and a GNSS signal simulator is used to verify the integration
design under high dynamic environment. Simulation results proved that both the accuracy and robustness
of the integration design have been improved significantly.

The Fluorescence detector Array of Single-pixel Telescopes (FAST) is a design concept for the next generation of ultrahigh-energy cosmic ray (UHECR) observatories, addressing the requirements for a large-area, low-cost detector suitable for measuring the properties of the highest energy cosmic rays. In the FAST design, a large field of view is covered by a few pixels at the focal plane of a mirror or Fresnel lens. Motivated by the successful detection of UHECRs using a prototype comprised of a single 200 mm photomultiplier-tube and a 1 m2 Fresnel lens system [Astropart.Phys. 74 (2016) 64-72], we have developed a new full-scale prototype consisting of four 200 mm photomultiplier-tubes at the focus of a segmented mirror of 1.6 m in diameter. In October 2016 we installed the full-scale prototype at the Telescope Array site in central Utah, USA, and began steady data taking. We report on first results of the full-scale FAST prototype, including measurements of artificial light sources, distant ultraviolet lasers, and UHECRs.

The Reviewed Event Bulletin (REB) of the IDC includes more than 500,000 events with associated seismic phases. The quality of these events and its completeness depends on multistage automatic processing followed by interactive analysis. The IDC raw data archive allows to apply the method of waveform cross correlation (WCC) for assessment of the similarity between seismic signals associated with REB events, and thus, the overall bulletin consistency. For cross correlation, we create a global set of master-events (ME) in the areas where reliable seismic events are available in the REB. Using only events within 3 degrees from a given ME, we apply the Principal Component Analysis to signals at each associated station. The major components are used to build synthetic MEs. Using real and synthetic MEs, we process continuous data in a specified region with the aim to find new REB-compatible events, which are missing from the REB. Therefore, the developed method allows to test REB consistency, quality, and completeness in any specified region or globally. It can also be thought as an alternative to the manual spot check during an independent review of the REB in routine IDC event analysis or as an additional tool for the independent reviewer.
Detection and location of small aftershocks using waveform cross correlationIvan Kitov
Aftershock sequences of earthquakes with magnitudes 5.0 and lower are difficult to detect and locate by sparse regional networks. Signals from aftershocks with magnitudes 2 to 3 are usually below detection thresholds of standard 3-C seismic stations at near regional distances. For seismic events close in space, the method waveform cross correlation (WCC) allows to reduce detection threshold by at least a unit of magnitude and to improve location precision to a few kilometres. Therefore, the WCC method is directly applicable to weak aftershock sequences. Here, we recover seismic activity after the earthquake near the town of Mariupol (Ukraine) occurred on August 7, 2016. The main shock was detected by many stations of the International monitoring system (IMS), including the closest primary IMS array stations AKASG (6.62 deg.) and BRTR (7.81), as well as 3-C station KBZ (5.00). The International data centre located this event (47.0013N, 37.5427E), estimated its origin time (08:15:4.1 UTC), magnitude (mb=4.5), and depth (6.8 km). This event was also detected by two array stations of the Institute for Dynamics of Geospheres (IDG) of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS): portable 3-C array RDON (3.28), which is the closest station, and MHVAR (7.96). Using signals from the main shock at five stations as waveform templates, we calculated continuous traces of cross correlation coefficient (CC) from the 7th to the 11th of August. We found that the best templates should include all regional phases, and thus, have the length from 80 s to 180 s. For detection, we used standard STA/LTA method with threshold depending on station. The accuracy of onset time estimation by the STA/LTA detector based on CC-traces is close to one sample, which varies from 0.05 s at BRTR to 0.005 s for RDON and MHVAR. Arrival times of all detected signals were reduced to origin times using the observed travel times from the main shock. Clusters of origin times are considered as event hypotheses in the phase association procedure. As a result, we found 12 aftershocks with magnitudes between 1.5 and 3.5. These small events were detected neither by the IDC nor by the near regional network of the Geophysical Survey of RAS, which has three closest 3-C stations at distances of 2.2 to 3.5 degrees from the studied earthquake. We also applied procedure of relative location and all aftershocks were found within a few km from the main shock.

This event was also detected by two array stations of the Institute for Dynamics of Geospheres (IDG) of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS): portable 3-C array RDON (3.28), which is the closest station, and MHVAR (7.96). Using signals from the main shock at five stations as waveform templates, we calculated continuous traces of cross correlation coefficient (CC) from the 7th to the 11th of August. We found that the best templates should include all regional phases, and thus, have the length from 80 s to 180 s. For detection, we used standard STA/LTA method with threshold depending on station.

Waveform cross correlation: coherency of seismic signals estimated from repea...Ivan Kitov
Waveform cross correlation (WCC) is an optimal detection technique for signals from spatially close seismic sources. Observations at various distances from a multitude of sources in a variety of seismotectonic and geological conditions demonstrate that signals from close events recorded at common stations are characterized by high level of similarity. Signals from remote sources are less similar mainly because of the variations in propagation paths. Different parts of a complete seismic wavetrain have different sensitivity to the propagation path. The initial part retains general characteristics of the source time function. The shape of later seismic phases is chiefly defined by propagation path. Here, we investigate the level of similarity between hundreds of signals generated by chemical blasts within a phosphate mine in Jordan and measured by 5 seismic stations at near-regional distances. We have revealed a much higher similarity of the first 3 s to 5 s of signals from different blasts, also at distances of about 20 km, at the same station as well as at different stations. This observation evidences in favour of high coherency in the initial part of signals at all stations. We also demonstrate that the observed coherency allows the use of very short (say, 3 s) waveform templates for detection and further phase association of signals based on cross correlation. Longer templates are characterized by larger overall signal specificity, which may reduce detection threshold and spatial resolution of the WCC method. However, different propagation paths within the same geological province may have similar transfer functions producing regular seismic phases with similar shapes independent on source position. This may increase the number of false detections from remote sources. We compare the performance of short and long waveform templates using detection statistics and the results of event hypotheses creation and further event location.
Remote detection of weak aftershocks of the DPRK underground explosions using...Ivan Kitov
We have estimated the performance of discrimination criterion based on the P/S spectral amplitude ratios obtained from six underground tests conducted by the DPRK since October 2006 and six aftershocks induced by the last two explosions. Two aftershocks were detected in routine processing at the International Data Centre of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization. Three aftershocks were detected by a prototype waveform cross correlation tool with explosions as master events, and one aftershock was found with the aftershocks as master events. Two seismic arrays USRK and KSRS of the International Monitoring System (IMS) and two non-IMS 3-component stations SEHB (South Korea) and MDJ (China) were used. With increasing frequency, all stations demonstrate approximately the same level of deviation between the Pg/Lg spectral amplitude ratios belonging to the DPRK explosions and their aftershocks. For a single station, simple statistical estimates show that the probability of any of six aftershocks not to be a sample from the explosion population is larger than 99.996% at the KSRS and even larger at USRK. The probability of any of the DPRK explosion to be a representative of the aftershock population is extremely small as defined by the distance of 20 and more standard deviations to the mean explosion Pg/Lg value. For network discrimination, we use the Mahalanobis distance combining the Pg/Lg estimates at three stations: USRK, KSRS and MDJ. At frequencies above 4 Hz, the (squared) Mahalanobis distance, D2, between the populations of explosions and aftershocks is larger than 100. In the frequency band between 6 and 12 Hz at USRK, the aftershocks distance from the average explosion D2>21,000. Statistically, the probability to mix up explosions and aftershocks is negligible. These discrimination results are related only to the aftershocks of the DPRK tests and cannot be directly extrapolated to the population of tectonic earthquakes in the same area.

Abstract
The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty’s verification regime requires uniform distribution of monitoring capabilities over the globe. The use of waveform cross correlation as a monitoring technique demands waveform templates from master events outside regions of natural seismicity and test sites. We populated aseismic areas with masters having synthetic templates for predefined sets (from 3 to 10) of primary array stations of the International Monitoring System. Previously, we tested the global set of master events and synthetic templates using IMS seismic data for February 12, 2013 and demonstrated excellent detection and location capability of the matched filter technique. In this study, we test the global grid of synthetic master events using seismic events from the Reviewed Event Bulletin. For detection, we use standard STA/LTA (SNR) procedure applied to the time series of cross correlation coefficient (CC). Phase association is based on SNR, CC, and arrival times. Azimuth and slowness estimates based f-k analysis cross correlation traces are used to reject false arrivals.

The cross-correlation (CC) and master event technique is efficient in Comprehensive Nuclear-Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) monitoring. Two primary goals of CTBT monitoring are detection and location of nuclear explosions. Therefore, the CC monitoring should be focused on finding such events. The use of physically adequate masters may increase the number of valid events in the Reviewed Event Bulletin (REB) of the International Data Centre by a factor of 2. Inadequate master events may increase the number of irrelevant events in REB and reduce the sensitivity of the CC technique to valid events. In order to cover the entire earth, including vast aseismic territories, with the CC based nuclear test monitoring we conducted a thorough research and defined the most appropriate real and synthetic master events representing underground explosion sources. A procedure was developed on optimizing the master event simulation based on principal component analysis with bootstrap aggregation as a dimension reduction technique narrowing the classes of CC templates used in detection and location process. Actual waveforms and metadata from the DTRA Verification Database were used to validate our approach. The detection and location results based on real and synthetic master events were compared.

The dynamics of personal income distribution and inequality in the United StatesIvan Kitov
We model the evolution of age-dependent personal income distribution and inequality
as expressed by the Gini ratio. In our framework, inequality is an emergent property of a
theoretical model we develop for the dynamics of individual incomes. The model relates
the evolution of personal income to the individual’s capability to earn money, the size of
her work instrument, her work experience and aggregate output growth. Our model is
calibrated to the single-year population cohorts as well as the personal incomes data in 10-
and 5- year age bins available from March Current Population Survey (CPS). We predict
the dynamics of personal incomes for every single person in the working-age population
in the USA between 1930 and 2011. The model output is then aggregated to construct
annual age-dependent and overall personal income distributions (PID) and to compute the
Gini ratios. The latter are predicted very accurately - up to 3 decimal places. We show
that Gini for people with income is approximately constant since 1930, which is confirmed
empirically. Because of the increasing proportion of people with income between 1947 and
1999, the overall Gini reveals a tendency to decline slightly with time. The age-dependent
Gini ratios have different trends. For example, the group between 55 and 64 years of age
does not demonstrate any decline in the Gini ratio since 2000. In the youngest age group
(from 15 to 24 years), however, the level of income inequality increases with time. We also
find that in the latter cohort the average income decreases relatively to the age group with
the highest mean income. Consequently, each year it is becoming progressively harder for
young people to earn a proportional share of the overall income.
Global grid of master events for waveform cross correlation: design and testingIvan Kitov
Seismic monitoring of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty requires a uniform coverage of the earth. The global use of waveform cross correlation for monitoring purposes is hindered by the absence of master events outside the zones of seismic activity. To populate the aseismic areas we have studied two principal approaches. Around the seismically active areas, we replicate real events best representing seismicity in a given region and distribute them over a regular grid to distances ~1000 km. These replicated events are called “grand masters”. For remote aseismic areas, we calculate synthetic seismograms for a regular grid of master events and a predefined set of array stations of the International Monitoring System. Both approaches were tested and showed a resolution similar to the use of real events. Considering three types of master events, we have created a regular and uniform grid with approximately 100 km spacing between nodes as obtained from the equilibrium distribution of charged particles over the earth’s surface. We have created three versions of the grid: v0.1 with only synthetic templates, v0.2 with real masters added where possible, and v0.3 with grand masters added. The performance of v0.1 has been assessed by full processing of a few data days.

Acoustic and seismic effects of the 2013 Chelyabinsk meteorite as measured by...Ivan Kitov
Two events crucial for monitoring of nuclear explosions under the CTBT occurred on February 12 and 15 and attracted attention of the mass media and scientists. Seismic waves from the underground event and infrasound waves from the meteorite are of extreme interest as well as various processes of energy conversion at the free surface. Infrasound station I45(RU) collocated with seismic array USRK recorded the epicentral I-phase generated by the DPRK 2013 event and the seismoacoustic wave emitted beneath the station. The shock wave from the Chebarkul meteorite generated a regular I-phase recorded by many IMS infrasound stations and a series of seismic phases likely associated with impact and acoustoseismic conversion. Due to the altitude of the peak energy release, the air-coupled ground rolls with a group velocity of 3.5 km/s were generated. A similar pattern was observed after the 1984 r.Chulym (Siberia) bolide. We estimate the energy of both sources and discuss possible mechanisms of acoustic/seismic wave generation and conversion.
ANAMOLOUS SECONDARY GROWTH IN DICOT ROOTS.pptxRASHMI M G
Abnormal or anomalous secondary growth in plants. It defines secondary growth as an increase in plant girth due to vascular cambium or cork cambium. Anomalous secondary growth does not follow the normal pattern of a single vascular cambium producing xylem internally and phloem externally.
The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.

DERIVATION OF MODIFIED BERNOULLI EQUATION WITH VISCOUS EFFECTS AND TERMINAL V...Wasswaderrick3
In this book, we use conservation of energy techniques on a fluid element to derive the Modified Bernoulli equation of flow with viscous or friction effects. We derive the general equation of flow/ velocity and then from this we derive the Pouiselle flow equation, the transition flow equation and the turbulent flow equation. In the situations where there are no viscous effects , the equation reduces to the Bernoulli equation. From experimental results, we are able to include other terms in the Bernoulli equation. We also look at cases where pressure gradients exist. We use the Modified Bernoulli equation to derive equations of flow rate for pipes of different cross sectional areas connected together. We also extend our techniques of energy conservation to a sphere falling in a viscous medium under the effect of gravity. We demonstrate Stokes equation of terminal velocity and turbulent flow equation. We look at a way of calculating the time taken for a body to fall in a viscous medium. We also look at the general equation of terminal velocity.
Toxic effects of heavy metals : Lead and Arsenicsanjana502982
Heavy metals are naturally occuring metallic chemical elements that have relatively high density, and are toxic at even low concentrations. All toxic metals are termed as heavy metals irrespective of their atomic mass and density, eg. arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium, thallium, chromium, etc.
Nucleophilic Addition of carbonyl compounds.pptxSSR02
Nucleophilic addition is the most important reaction of carbonyls. Not just aldehydes and ketones, but also carboxylic acid derivatives in general.
Carbonyls undergo addition reactions with a large range of nucleophiles.
Comparing the relative basicity of the nucleophile and the product is extremely helpful in determining how reversible the addition reaction is. Reactions with Grignards and hydrides are irreversible. Reactions with weak bases like halides and carboxylates generally don’t happen.
Electronic effects (inductive effects, electron donation) have a large impact on reactivity.
Large groups adjacent to the carbonyl will slow the rate of reaction.
Neutral nucleophiles can also add to carbonyls, although their additions are generally slower and more reversible. Acid catalysis is sometimes employed to increase the rate of addition.
1. Regional seismic monitoring using 3-C array

Institute of Geospheres Dynamics, Russian Academy of Sciences
Abstract
An array consisting of seven 3-C sensors was tested for the purposes of
regional seismotectonic monitoring. The aperture of several hundred
meters is suitable for detection and identification of regional phases.
This portable array was installed within the Russian platform which is
an aseismic zone where regional sources with magnitudes 1.0 to 3.5
are chiefly associated with mining. We use seven quarries to compare
detections obtained by vertical (V) and horizontal (N-S, E-W, T, and R)
sub-arrays. The V-array demonstrates a superior detection capability
for the P-wave arrivals, but misses many S-waves well measured by the
H-arrays. In many cases share waves are most prominent at horizontal
channels and are below the level of microseismic noise at vertical
channels even after stacking. In a few cases, the S-waves at H-arrays
are the only detected phases. Therefore, the relevant events would be
missed without the horizontal components. The 3-C array
demonstrates a higher detection and phase identification capability
than the vertical sub-array and provides a significant improvement in
regional monitoring

Conclusion
In practice, a sparse network of 3-C stations has a much higher
magnitude threshold than a network of seismic arrays. For
regional studies, S-wave detection is especially important to
recover low-magnitude seismicity when only one small-
aperture array is available. We have demonstrated that the use
of an array of 3-C sensors allows to substantially reduce
detection threshold adding up to 25% percent of correct S-wave
signals, which were missed by the sub-group of vertical
channels. This finding is in line with a number of similar
studies.
We operated a standalone seismic group of 3-C sensors with
independent data processing which included detection and
identification of regional seismic events during four months of
2013. Automatic detection of P- and S-waves as well as
estimation of their azimuth and slowness provided all necessary
information for event location. All automatically built event
hypotheses were interactively reviewed to create a regional
event catalogue.
We also studied the performance of this portable seismic array
for the purposes of waveform cross correlation using an
interactively proved set of repeating events. Seven quarries
with more than dozen recorded blasts were selected in the
range 60 to 350 km. After the selection of higher quality 3-C
waveform templates for each quarry we calculated multichannel
traces of cross correlation coefficients and found that these 3-C
templates provide higher signal to noise ratios, SNRCC, than
those obtained using vertical channels only. The choice of 3-C
sensors also leads to higher specificity of waveform templates
and reduces the rate of false alarms. Longer templates with
broader frequency content provide an additional improvement
in detection capability and signal specificity, but increase
calculation time. Overall, the advantage of a 3-C array is based
on the full use of signal energy, and is especially important for
detection and identification of regional phases of the P- and S-
waves.

The array was operated between May and September 2013. After
automatic processing two experienced analysts conducted a
thorough interactive analysis and built a catalogue which
identified quarry blasts at 31 mines. We selected seven mines (6,
12,19, 21, 38, 54,58) with larger numbers of repeating events.
This allow statistical analysis of detection and waveform cross

CC is 0.3–0.4 for central vertical channel C0Z(j=3) and for
vertical channels of the outer triangle B1Z(15)–B2Z(18)–B3Z(21),
but close to 0 for vertical channels of triangle A. The largest
negative CC is observed for pairs of horizontal channels (C0H2–
A1H1–A3H1) as well as for some vertical channels (A3Z–B1Z–
B3Z). In the band 8–16 Hz, the coherency of noise drops and CC
is close to 0.05 except the negative value –0.15 for B1H2 and
B1Z.
Signals from blasts reveal higher coherency. CC for S-waves (10 s
intervals) at lower frequencies is at the level of 0.7 for vertical
sensors, i.e. only by a factor of 1.5 larger than for noise. Higher
noise correlation for directions between 180 and 270 deg is
potential problem for detection. For higher frequencies, CC is
much larger for signals.

Several examples of detection with cross correlation:
SNR>3.5. Larger signals does not mean better correlation. Comparison of detection by 3-C and vertical groups.
