Lunar soils form the "ground truth" for calibration and modeling of reflectance spectra for quantitative remote sensing. The Lunar Soil Characterization Consortium, a group of lunar sample and remote sensing scientists, has undertaken the extensive task of characterization of lunar soils, with respect o their mineralogical and chemical makeup. This endeavor is aimed at deciphering the effects o...

A large Mw--8.2 earthquake occurred off Shikotan Is., one of the Kurile Is., on October 4, 1994. We inverted 32 body-wave records to determine the rupture pattern using an iterative deconvolution method. The mechanisms of the subevents were allowed to vary during rupture. The source parameters obtained are: the location of the initial break = (43.48øN, 147.40øE); the centroid depth = 56 km; (st...

where Ø is a smooth bounded domain of R with external normal ν, N ≥ 3, 1 < p < (N + 2)/(N − 2), J : R → R and V : R → R are C functions. In [5], the first author, extending the classical results by Ni and Takagi, in [3, 4], proved that there exist solutions of (1) that concentrate at maximum and minimum points of a suitable auxiliary function defined on the boundary ∂Ø and depending only on J a...

Neutron scattering experiments were performed on three molecular weight pairs of symmetric, isotopic blends of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) of near-critical composition. Scattering data covering close to 3 decades in size were globally fit using the random phase approximation (RPA) and the Debye function for Gaussian polymer coils using the interaction parameter, ø, and statistical segment len...

The electrical conductivity of a synthetic basalt has been determined at atmospheric pressure in air at temperatures between 700 ø and 1600øC. The conductivity increases by about 2 orders of magnitude in the melting interval between 1130 ø and 1263øC. It is suggested that partial fusion in the seismic low-velocity zone of the upper mantle may account for the correlation of increased electrical ...
