The Core from Above

The View from Above

the effect of traffic density on the accident externality from driving the case study of tehran

در این پژوهش به بررسی اثر افزایش ترافیک بر روی تعداد تصادفات پرداخته شده است. به این منظور 30 تقاطع در شهر تهران بطور تصادفی انتخاب گردید و تعداد تصادفات ماهیانه در این تقاطعات در طول سالهای 89-90 از سازمان کنترل ترافیک شهر تهران استخراج گردید و با استفاده از مدل داده های تابلویی و نرم افزار eviews مدل خطی و درجه دوم تخمین زده شد و در نهایت این نتیجه حاصل شد که تقاطعات پر ترافیک تر تعداد تصادفا...

Is the long-wavelength geoid sensitive to the presence of postperovskite above the core-mantle boundary?

[1] The analysis of seismic data represents today the primary tool in the search for the presence of postperovskite in the lowermost mantle (D00). This work aims at testing whether the inversion of gravitational data can also contribute to the detection of postperovskite in D00. We assume that the transition from perovskite to postperovskite is accompanied by a reduction in viscosity and test t...

The viewing-from-above bias and the silhouette illusion

The silhouette illusion published online a number of years ago by the Japanese Flash designer Nobuyuki Kayahara has received substantial attention from the online community. One feature that seems to make it interesting is an apparent rotational bias: Observers see it spinning more often clockwise than counter-clockwise. Here, we show that this rotational bias is in fact due to the visual syste...

Dynamics deep from the core

In van der Veen et al., [Struct. Dyn. 2, 024302 (2015)], femtosecond and nanosecond electron energy loss spectroscopy of deep core-levels are demonstrated. These results pave the way to the investigation of materials and molecules with combined energy, time, and spatial resolution in a transmission electron microscope. Furthermore, the authors elucidate the role of the electron phonon coupling ...
