چکیده

A new study by He et al. in this issue of Neuron shows that large-scale arrhythmic (1/f) brain activity contains nested temporal structure in the form of crossfrequency coupling. This suggests temporal organization in neural mass activity beyond oscillations and draws attention to ubiquitous but often ignored arrhythmic patterns in neural activity.

STATISTICAL PREDICTION OF THE SEQUENCE OF LARGE EARTHQUAKES IN IRAN

The use of different probability distributions as described by the Exponential, Pareto, Lognormal, Rayleigh, and Gama probability functions applied to estimation the time of the next great earthquake (Ms≥6.0) in different seismotectonic provinces of Iran. This prediction is based on the information about past earthquake occurrences in the given region and the basic assumption that future seismi...

Probabilistic View of Occurrence of Large Earthquakes in Iran

In this research seismicity parameters, repeat times and occurrence probability of large earthquakes are estimated for 35 seismic lineaments in Persian plateau and the surrounding area. 628 earthquakes of historical time and present century with MW>5.5 were used for further data analysis. A probabilistic model is used for forecasting future large earthquake occurrences in each chosen lineament....

A Seismic Factor of Radon Danger on a Case Study of Armenia

For the first time, on the basis of Spitak earthquake experience (Armenia, December 1988), it was found that an earthquake causes intensive and prolonged radon releases that are quickly dispersed in the open air and that is why they are not usually registered but contrastingly displayed in covered premises (such as dwelling houses, schools, kindergartens) even if they are at a considerable dist...

Identification of active tectonic areas using fractal analysis (box counting) of earthquakes, lines and waterways of Alborz province

Fractal analysis of earthquakes, lineages and waterways are considered as one of the practical tools to evaluate tectonic activity. With the help of fractal analysis, structural maturity and tectonic dynamics can be evaluated. In this research, using fractal analysis and box counting method and fild studies, the measured fractal dimensions for the designed network of Alborz province were studie...

Ancient Iranian Earthquakes: Chehr-Abad Salt Mine

Modern plate tectonic theory, the development of earthquake prediction and the mitigation of earthquake hazards are based on the study of earthquakes during the twentieth century. Investigation of earthquakes over a much longer period, although in no way invalidating the global importance of plate tectonics, shows that patterns of seismic activity do change with time and that areas of intense s...
