The depths and source mechanisms of nine large shallow earthquakes were determined from long-period (150 to 300 s) Rayleigh waves recorded by the Global Digital Seismograph Network (GDSN) and International Deployment of Accelerometers (IDA) networks. We inverted the data set of complex source spectra for a moment tensor (linear) or a double couple (nonlinear). By solving a least squares problem...

The sharp affine isoperimetric inequality that bounds the volume of the centroid body of a star body (from below) by the volume of the star body itself is the Busemann-Petty centroid inequality. A decade ago, the Lp analogue of the classical BusemannPetty centroid inequality was proved. Here, the definition of the centroid body is extended to an Orlicz centroid body of a star body, and the corr...

The objective of the current study was to develop and optimize a sublingual tablet formulation of captopril which is an effective drug in the treatment of hypertension. Captopril containing tablets were prepared by direct compression method using different ingredients such as polyvinyl pyrrolidone, starch 1500, sodium starch glycolate and lactose (independent variables) and magnesium stearate, ...

The asymmetric unit of the title Schiff base compound, C(21)H(18)N(2)O(4), consists of four independent zwitterions (A, B, C and D) with similar conformations. In each independent mol-ecule, the methyl group is disordered over two positions; the occupancies of the two positions are 0.819 (5) and 0.181 (5) in mol-ecule A, 0.912 (5) and 0.088 (5) in B, 0.734 (5) and 0.266 (5) in C, and 0.940 (6) ...

Numerical algorithms are developed for the centroid molecular dynamics (centroid MD) method to calculate dynamical time correlation functions for general many-body quantum systems. Approaches based on the normal mode path integral molecular dynamics and staging path integral Monte Carlo methods are described to carry out a direct calculation of the force on the centroid variables in the centroi...

The paper investigates the relative influence of centroid three-phase squirrel cage induction motor rotor bar cross section, on breakdown (maximum) torque machine. angle taper, top width and radial depth as established design variables, were also investigated so to properly situate degree centroid, in comparison; far maximum is concerned. machines their steady state operating mode using equival...

Interface designers are increasingly exploring alternative approaches to user input/control. LAMI is a Leap (Motion-based) AMI which takes user’s hand gestures and maps these to a three-dimensional stage displayed on a computer monitor. Audio channels are visualised as spheres whose Y coordinate is spectral centroid and X and Z coordinates are controlled by hand position and represent pan and l...
