[1] Sediment fans are a potentially useful and underexploited recorder of Earth’s climatic and tectonic history, but historical observations have led to conflicting views on the importance of tectonic, climatic, and lithologic variables in controlling fan morphology and deposition. A one-dimensional model of a sediment fan and its associated catchment is used to explore the sensitivity of such ...

In order to perform fan-beam reconstruction using projection data collected from a noncircular scanning locus, existing noncircular fan-beam formulas require a derivative of the scanning locus with respect to the rotation angle. A derivative-free noncircular fan-beam reconstruction formula that is based on a geometrical explanation of the circular equispatial fan-beam reconstruction formula is ...

Crayfish depend on sensilla, small cuticular structures occurring all over their bodies to acquire information about their outside environment. Sensilla contain sensory neurons that are either mechanoreceptive or chemoreceptive. The tail fan of crayfish houses numerous sensilla that contain mechanoreceptor neurons and their activation by animals approaching from behind elicits a tail-flip escap...

Background and purpose: Vibration caused by ventilation systems in buildings is one of the harmful physical factors that can cause harm to residents. Therefore, measuring and controlling vibration is important. Materials and Methods:  In the first step of the study, the vibration accelerometer was placed on the base of a fan where the vibrations were sent toward the duct wall. A vibration asse...
