The most important feature in the distribution of the epicentres is the central region of extraordinary activity; but there are also districts of minor and more short-lived activity near the three extremities of the meizoseismal band. ❋ Charles Davison (1899)
Deal values in Europe and North America, the epicentres of the global credit crisis, were up 160% and 192%, respectively, from 2009 lows. ❋ Sri Rajan (2011)
The epicentres of these earthquakes both lie near to the edge of the Australian plate, about 4,000 miles apart. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Increasingly these public health issues are linked to wildlife, and to disease epicentres in countries such as China. ❋ Unknown (2008)
It is significant that 22 universities have been named as epicentres of jihadist recruitment. ❋ Helen (2006)
Moscou - les epicentres de l'economie Russe, le plus grand debouche en gros et les propositions. ❋ Unknown (2008)
ACB sez, Stencil artist Banksy has written an article for the Guardian on the war on graffiti and street art in Melbourne, Australia, until now one of the world's epicentres of street art, where the government has adopted a Giuliani-esque zero-tolerance policy to sanitise the city for the Commonwealth Games. ❋ Unknown (2006)
Other fraud epicentres include Thamesmead, Greenwich and Peckham. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Somatic and cerebral alike prey in rich waters unmediated, feeding in epicentres tailor-made for stalkers, erotomaniacs, denigrators and plain nuts, sustaining grandiose fantasies, inflating self-images. ❋ Ivan Donn Carswell (2008)
It's hard to believe in the 30-degree-plus heat of Guangzhou, but this city has been named one of the epicentres of the Cold Cyber War. ❋ Unknown (2007)
If they only arrested, charged and prosecuted these 20 key terrorist leaders, they will have a struck a fatal blow against the epicentres of al-Qaeda extremism in the UK. ❋ Unknown (2006)
Thus it was some ten minutes before the coolest (and farthest detached) observers were able to judge the epicentres of attack and ascertain the pattern imposed by the Russian gunners on their plan. ❋ Macksey, Kenneth (1984)
The numerous after-shocks which follow a great earthquake originate for the most part within the seismic focus of the latter; and, as they usually disturb a very small area, it is not difficult to ascertain approximately the positions of their epicentres. ❋ Charles Davison (1899)
In the Neapolitan earthquake, the sound was only heard in a district of about 3,300 square miles immediately surrounding the epicentres, while the whole area disturbed by the shock was not less than 39,000 square miles. ❋ Charles Davison (1899)
It was at first supposed that this earthquake occurred without preparation of any kind; but a closer analysis of the records shows that during the previous two years there was a very decided increase in the seismic activity of the district, and also that the distribution of the epicentres marked out the future fault-scarp, and at the same time exhibited a tendency to comparative uniformity over the whole fault-region. ❋ Charles Davison (1899)
The positions of the epicentres of forty-four shocks and earth-sounds can be determined with more or less accuracy, and, of these, only ten lie to the north-east of the principal centre, while thirty-four lie to the south-west, six or seven of the latter being beneath Loch Ness. ❋ Charles Davison (1899)
Now, if the impulses occurred at the same instant, the waves from the two foci would travel with the same velocity, and would therefore coalesce along a straight band which would bisect at right angles the line joining the two epicentres. ❋ Charles Davison (1899)
Rantowles epicentres, especially about the former, and a contraction in the intermediate region. ❋ Charles Davison (1899)
During the first two months, epicentres occur over nearly the whole of the meizoseismal area, but afterwards they are confined to a smaller district, which slowly, though not continually, decreases in size. ❋ Charles Davison (1899)
