“…In Table 8.1 of Reference [ 6 ], one can find a compilation of 14 cases including a variety of dynamical models in which the condition = 0.070 has been ascertained (cf. this has been also later confirmed in the analyses of very recent experimental results in Japan by Hayakawa and coworkers [ 55 , 56 , 57 ]). Especially for the case of SES activities, it has been found that, when they are analyzed in natural time, we find values close to 0.070 ([ 35 , 36 , 38 , 39 ], e.g., see Table 4.6 on p. 227 of Reference [ 6 ]), i.e., when analyzing in natural time the small EQs with magnitudes greater than or equal to a threshold magnitude that occur after the initiation of an SES activity within the selectivity map of the measuring station that recorded the SES activity, the condition is found to hold for a variety of a few days up to one week before the strong EQ occurrence [ 6 , 30 , 40 , 41 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 54 , 58 ] .…”
