Abstract. The aim of paleoclimate studies resolving climate variability from noisy proxy records can in essence be reduced to a statistical problem. challenge is extract meaningful information about these by reducing measurement uncertainty through combining measurements for proxies while retaining the temporal resolution needed assess timing and duration variations parameters. In this study, w...

We have used broadband records from 18 teleseismic stations and three-component records from 16 local strongmotion stations in a formal inversion to determine the temporal and spatial distribution of slip during the earthquake. Separate inversions of the teleseismic (periods, 3Contribution No. 4935, Division of Geological and Planetary Sciences, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA ...

background: s1 radiculopathy is a high prevalence illness and its early diagnosis is of crucial importance. several reports have revealed the efficacy of magnetic stimulation in diagnosis of this condition. we conducted this study to compare mmep latency and mmep amplitude in patients with s1 radiculopathy and healthy controls in shohadaye tajreash hospital in 2007. materials and methods: this ...

We present a technique to measure the mechanical complex amplitude, i.e. the mechanical amplitude and phase of vibration, of an ultrasonic plane wavefield of nanometric amplitude that propagates on a surface. Our aim is to detect perturbations of the initially smooth wavefronts that indicate the presence of flaws in the material. We use bursts of surface acoustic waves (SAWs) and a double-pulse...
