...clip, filmed by the unit and obtained by a Serb human-rights investigator, aired last week in the Hague at the trial for war crimes of former Serb strongman Slobodan Milosevic. It was also broadcast around Europe. But it was in Serbia itself that the footage caused the greatest tremor. "Serbia is deeply shocked," Boris Tadic, the reform-minded Serb President, said in a televised address. The images, he said, are "proof of a monstrous crime committed against persons of a different religion ... in the name of our nation." Serb officials had previously denied that their troops were involved...
...mountaintop, which indicates that hot magma is pushing upward and melting the ice cap, warns knowledgeable residents to head for safety. More sophisticated techniques include tiltmeters or laser ranging devices to detect deformations in the volcano cone, also caused by magma oozing upward. Seismometers are used to measure harmonic tremor around the volcano, a series of highly rhythmic shock waves associated with the motion of magma inside or beneath the cone. In Hawaii, a harmonic tremor lasting for some four to five minutes nearly always precedes an eruption...
...eruption, yet they were caught off guard by both its fury and the extent of the mudflows it generated. And at Nevado del Ruiz, warning signs had abounded since Dec. 22, 1984. At that time a series of earthquakes were detected, followed by 30 minutes of harmonic tremor. Mild tremors continued throughout the spring and summer, and on Sept. 11, ash spewed forth for seven hours, accompanied by a roaring sound and electrical discharges. But for all these red flags, experts were unable to pinpoint when the big boom would come, or even if it would. Lacking that precision, Colombia...
...months after the main temblor. In the early hours of last Tuesday morning, the earth around the town of Zarand, in Iran's Kerman province, was convulsed by a quake measuring 6.4 on the Richter scale. Its epicenter was just 250 km northwest of Bam, where a violent tremor killed some 31,000 people in December 2003. This time, the death toll will be significantly lower. Zarand and the 50 villages affected have a total population of 30,000 and Kerman's deputy governor Mohammad-Javad Fadaee has confirmed more than 600 fatalities so far. Yet statistics cannot convey...
Parkinson’s disease is a condition that affects more than half a million people, with more than 50,000 new cases reported annually. Most cases are diagnosed after the age of 50 and major symptoms include tremor, stiffness, and a marked decline in the speed of movement...
