A better understanding of fluid-related processes such as poroelastic rebound of the upper crust and weakening of the lower crust beneath the volcanic arc helps better understand and correctly interpret the heterogeneity of postseismic deformation following great subduction zone earthquakes. The postseismic deformation following the 2011 Mw9.0 Tohoku earthquake, recorded with unprecedented high...

A study was conducted on the arc and melting efficiency of the plasma arc, gas tungsten arc, gas metal arc, and submerged arc welding processes. The results of this work are extended to develop a quantitative method for estimating weld metal dilution in a companion paper. Arc efficiency was determined as a function of current for each process using A36 steel base metal. Melting efficiency was e...

Segmental kinematics were investigated in horses during overground locomotion and compared with published reports on humans and other primates to determine the impact of a large neck on rotational mobility (> 20 deg.) and stability (< or = 20 deg.) of the head and trunk. Three adult horses (Equus caballus) performing walks, trots and canters were videotaped in lateral view. Data analysis includ...

Flux cored arc welding (FCAW) is applied due to its remarkable results and advantages (high productivity, joint quality etc) in various fields (industrial construction, naval, chemistry, petrochemistry etc.). FCAW disadvantages, mainly the emission of pollutants, can be counteracted by their rigorous control and local forced ventilation in the production. Control measures that can be used for m...

Rapid India-Asia convergence has led to a major continental collision and formation of the Himalayas, the highest mountain range on Earth. Knowledge of the paleolatitude of the Kohistan-Ladakh Arc (KLA), an intermediate tectonic unit currently situated between the converging Indian and Eurasian continents in Western Himalaya, would constrain the tectonic history and dynamics of Himalayan orogen...

Clustering of arc volcanoes in subduction zones indicates along-arc variation in the physical condition of the underlying mantle where majority of arc magmas are generated. The sub-arc mantle is brought in from the back-arc largely by slab-driven mantle wedge flow. Dynamic processes in the back-arc, such as small-scale mantle convection, are likely to cause lateral variations in the back-arc ma...

Arc fault is the arc that may cause damage to the society. Arc is with high temperature and massive heat. If arc fault appears in the low voltage supply environment, it will lead to fire or disaster. So detection and protection of arc fault is essential. In order to prevent the damage of fault arc, a new apparatus named Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) has been proposed. In the paper, arc f...

Abstract In this study, we investigate the age and geochemical variability of volcanic arc rocks found in Chinese, Kyrgyz, Tajik North Pamir Central Asia. New geochronological data together with compiled from literature give a holistic view an early to mid-Carboniferous intraoceanic preserved northeastern Pamir. This complex involves continental slivers its western reaches transforms into Cordi...
