the doruneh fault is one of the longest and most prominent faults in iran. however, only two recorded historical earthquakes with magnitudes more than 7 might be related to this fault. for getting more information on this fault more investigation in different fields are required. fault displacement is one of the most important parameters needed to explore the fault activity. in this study, with...

(paper pages 133-156) zagros active fold-thrust belt lies on the northern margin of the arabian continental crust it is a young fold-thrust mountain belt currently shortening, thickening and uplifting as a result of the collision of the arabian and iranian plates. rethickening of crust during collisional orogenies could have been carried out by reversal of fault motion along the mesozoic normal...

the nnw-trending dena fault, with 140 km length, cuts the major structures of zagros fold-thrust belt in borujen region. the fault has divided the region in two zones, in which different structural, andmorphological features as well assedimentation and seismtectonic characteristics have developed. this study presents a new interpretation for the kinematics of dena fault based on field evidence....

Design of systems with high complexity and existence of different resources in network cloud leads the service providers to intend to provide the best services to their customers. On...

Six species of Gastrocopta have been identified from the Pilbara region, Western Australia, by means of comparative analyses of shell and mtDNA variation. Three of these species, Gastrocopta hedleyi, Gastrocopta larapinta and Gastrocopta servilis, have been recorded in the Pilbara for the first time. Gastrocopta sp. CW1 is probably new to science and might be endemic to the region. By contrast,...

It is the job of a philosopher, so far as possible, to give an account our practice rather than tell us that we all ought be doing something else. To extent this cannot done, it normally fault in philosophy

Many parameters affect the behavior of tall buildings under seismic loads, some which are main shock-after shock records and using lateral load resistance systems in reinforced concrete buildings. End shear walls a kind walls, connecting their end This study was conducted on two 30-story structures, were subjected to sequences far fault analyzed by nonlinear time history analysis. The results i...
