the study area, paykola anticline, is located in the southwestern part of kermanshah province. the aim of this research is to evaluate the geomorphological indexes of active tectonics in paykola anticline as well as to study the effect of tectonic in the form and direction of geomorphological landforms. to achieve the aim of study, the lithological and tectonic characteristics of study area wer...

This paper presents a new approach of landslides zonation hazard studies, based on an integrated study of structural data along with geomorphological and external factors, in a hilly regions of Brazil, covered by a tropical humid rain-forest, called Serra do Mar. The Serra do Mar consists of a hilly region along the east coast of Brazil, with high slopes and many geological structures in a gnei...

This paper presents the details of a terrain mapping system that has been used to measure median profiles. Details are presented of the system construction, design, and algorithms to process the data. The capability of the system is gauged by performing tests to compensate for vehicle orientation, tests for repeatability, and tests comparing the system with manual measurement. Results demonstra...

The stability of marine ice sheets grounded on beds that slope upwards in the overall direction of flow is investigated numerically in two horizontal dimensions. We give examples of stable grounding lines on such retrograde slopes illustrating that marine ice sheets are not unconditionally unstable in two horizontal dimensions. Retrograde bed slopes at the grounding lines of marine ice sheets, ...

A between-subjects design (N=60) was used to investigate the effects of electrodermal lability and auditory stimulus intensity on habituation of the skin conductance response (SCR). Subjects were subdivided into "labile" and "stabile" groups on the basis of frequency of nonspecific electrodermal responses during the prestimulation period. They received 20 presentations of a 1,OOo-Hz tone of 15,...

Perceived continuity was studied by varying the direction (steady-state, upward glide, or downward glide), the frequency separation, and the slope of two sinusoidal tones separated by a louder burst of white noise. When the two tones had different directions, continuity was perceived according to a frequency-proximity principle (frequency-interpolation effect). On the other hand, when the tones...

PURPOSE We examined the validity and reproducibility of a squash-specific test designed to assess change-of-direction speed. METHODS 10 male squash and 10 male association-football and rugby-union players completed the Illinois agility run (IAR) and a squash change-of-direction-speed test (SCODS) on separate days. Tests were repeated after 24 h to assess reproducibility. The best time from th...

Abstract In this study, we estimate the heliospheric termination shock (HTS) compression ratio at multiple directions in sky from a quantitative comparison of observed and simulated inner heliosheath (IHS) energetic neutral atom (ENA) fluxes. We use 3D steady-state simulation heliosphere to simulate ENA fluxes by postprocessing MHD plasma using multi-Maxwellian distribution for protons IHS. The...

Instability of submarine slopes in Zhoushan Islands is widespread. Frequent landslides pose a great threat to offshore facilities such as optical cables, reclamation projects, ports and docks. In this paper, self-developed in-situ observation system used observe the deformation on southwest side Zhujiajian Island for 75 days. The results show that characteristics sediments at different depths s...

Given a Z n+l-periodic variational principle on R n+l we look for solutions u : R" ---+ R minimizing the variational integral with respect to compactly supported variations. To every vector c~ E R" we consider a subset ~/g~ of solutions which have an average slope c~ when averaging over R n. The minimal average action A(c 0 is defined by the average value of the variational integral given by a ...
