Although recent studies have revealed more widespread occurrences of magnetofossils in pre-Quaternary sediments than have been previously reported, their significance for paleomagnetic and paleoenvironmental studies is not fully understood. We present a paleo- and rock-magnetic study of late Miocene marine sediments recovered from the Guadalquivir Basin (SW Spain). Well-defined paleomagnetic di...

Taking into account the importance of Lake Sevan and Lake Sevan basin’s rivers for Armenian economy, the main goals of our investigations were the documentation of water quality and the biodiversity of invertebrates developed in Lake Sevan basin’s rivers and selected tributaries. Moderately satisfied ecological condition for the biodiversity of Lake Sevan basin’s rivers has been established, an...

in this work, ito/pet (indium tin oxide / polyethylene terephthalate) electrode structure which provides biocompatibility, mechanical stability and flexibility is fabricated. flexible ito/pet implantable electrode array for a retina has been developed. the electrode array is fabricated on a thin pet/ito substrate and is encapsulated using, su-8, an insulating material. pet substrate and su-8 po...

The Peshawar basin is situated along the junction of the northern margin of the IndoGangetic foredeep and the southern margin of the Hindu Rush-Himalayan Ranges. During the late Cenozoic, southward encroachment of tectonic disruption into the foredeep terminated molasse deposition and delineated the Peshawar intermontane basin through uplift of the Attock Range along the southern margin of the ...

‎In this paper‎, ‎we introduce the concept of Su-type contractive mapping and establish fixed point theorems for such mappings in the setting of ordered‎ ‎extended partial $b$-metric space‎. ‎We also develop an‎ ‎application for Fredholm type integral equations to‎ ‎validate our main result and a non-trivial example is given to‎ ‎elucidate our work.

Background and purpose: Current evidence shows physical fitness (PF) among children and adolescents in Africa and around the world is declining and the trend is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to evaluate the baseline PF data of primary school children in Lagos State, Nigeria, and to determine the predictors of low PF within the cohort. Materi...

hydraulic jump on adverse stilling basin is an unstable phenomenon which causes some complexities in controlling of the   jump. this paper considers the stability of free hydraulic jump on adverse stilling basins from a theoretical point of view. a minimum value of upstream froude number is needed to produce the free hydraulic jump on adverse stilling basins which was presented by a theoretical...

The Weather Research and Forecasting model is used to perform large-eddy simulations of thermally driven cross-basin winds in idealized, closed basins. A spatially and temporally varying heat flux is prescribed at the surface as a function of slope inclination and orientation to produce a horizontal temperature gradient across the basin. The thermal asymmetry leads to the formation of a closed ...

We consider SU(3)C × SU(2)AL × SU(2)BL × U(1)Y as the low-energy subgroup of supersymmetric SU(3) unification. This may imply small deviations from quarklepton universality at the TeV scale, as allowed by neutron-decay data. New particles are predicted with specific properties. We discuss in particular the new heavy gauge bosons corresponding to SU(2)AL × SU(2)BL → SU(2)L. 1 Hexagonal SU(3) Mod...
