Contribution of the VLBA Network to Geodynamics
نویسنده
چکیده
A decade of observations in geodetic mode with the VLBA network gave valuable results. Approximately 1/5 of all geodetic observations are recorded in VLBA mode and processed at the Socorro correlator. Ten years of observations allowed us to reliably measure slow intra-plate motion of the VLBA stations located on the North-American plate. It also helped us to achieve scientific objectives of geodetic programs: verify models of harmonic and anharmonic site position variations caused by various loadings, improve models of core-mantle boundary, investigate mantle rheology and solve other tasks.

Determination of Coseismic Displacement Field in Saravan Earthquake in 2013 on Iranian Permanent GPS Network for Geodynamics (IPGN)
The Makran subduction zone from the point of view of Tectonics, and seismicity is really interesting for researchers. The Makran zone is divided into two parts of western Iran and east in Pakistan. The largest earthquake of the last half century, with magnitude 7.8 in 2013, occurred near the city of Saravan. The occurrence of this earthquake indicates the locks on the western Makran border wit...
متن کاملPrediction of the Liquid Vapor Pressure Using the Artificial Neural Network-Group Contribution Method
In this paper, vapor pressure for pure compounds is estimated using the Artificial Neural Networks and a simple Group Contribution Method (ANN–GCM). For model comprehensiveness, materials were chosen from various families. Most of materials are from 12 families. Vapor pressure data of 100 compounds is used to train, validate and test the ANN-GCM model. Va...
متن کاملA New Procedure for Determining Current Harmonic Contribution around an Operation Point at PCC Using Load Modelling Based on Crossed Frequency Admittance Matrix
Abstract:Today, one of the important issues of power quality (PQ) in power systems is the current harmonics. Increasing expansion of nonlinear loads at different parts of the electric network makes harmonic distortion flow through the network. This causes the network to have background voltage and current harmonic distortion and even affect on the PQ of linear load performance. Therefore, it is...
متن کاملApplication of statistical techniques and artificial neural network to estimate force from sEMG signals
This paper presents an application of design of experiments techniques to determine the optimized parameters of artificial neural network (ANN), which are used to estimate force from Electromyogram (sEMG) signals. The accuracy of ANN model is highly dependent on the network parameters settings. There are plenty of algorithms that are used to obtain the optimal ANN setting. However, to the best ...

With increasing influence of variable speed wind turbines in power systems, the equivalent inertia of network is reduced. Accordingly, after the occurrence of disturbance in system, the frequency fluctuations in power systems increase. To overcome this problem, a supplementary control loop is added to the converter of the variable speed wind turbine in order to share the inertia of this type of...
