Abstract We use three-dimensional (3-D) dynamic finite-element models to investigate potential rupture paths of earthquakes propagating along faults through the western San Gorgonio Pass, a structurally complex region Andreas fault system in southern California (USA). focus on right-lateral Bernardino strand system, oblique thrust–right-lateral Pass zone, and portion Garnet Hill system. 3-D met...

In order for airports to manage the bird strike risk effectively, a risk assessment process needs to be carried out to identify the major hazards at the airport, the levels of risk that they produce, and the most cost effective means of reducing that risk. Despite the fact that bird controllers, managers and consultants make informal bird strike risk assessments throughout their working lives, ...

Postencounter and circa-strike defensive contexts represent two adaptive responses to potential and imminent danger. In the context of a predator, the postencounter reflects the initial detection of the potential threat, whereas the circa-strike is associated with direct predatory attack. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging to investigate the neural organization of anticipation and av...

The authors examined how dispute-related stressors predicted strain experienced by third parties (N = 270) and their perceptions of a potential strike by part-time faculty. Immediately preceding a strike deadline, the authors surveyed students on their support for the union, perceived fairness, perceived effects of the impending strike, and perceived control. The authors also measured perceptio...

Abstract The deformation pattern and slip partitioning related to oblique underthrusting of the Tarim Basin in eastern Tian Shan orogenic belt are not well understood because interior images lacking. Baoertu fault is an E-W–striking, ~350-km-long reactivated basement structure within Shan. In this study, we quantify its late Quaternary activity based on interpretations detailed high-resolution ...

The spatial position and dip feature of the density boundary are significant to study fault tectonic frameworks. Edge detection methods generally attach importance horizontal boundary, but it is difficult determine expressly. A gradient inversion method was proposed based on corresponding relationship among gravity forward field, kernel matrix, model attributes. result this that value different...

This Study aims at rock Slopes Stability for formation in limb northـeastern poor anticline (Fatha, Injana and Mukdadyah). In (5) Stations, representing all types of failures (taken place possible). General Survey included Classification engineering description according to [1][2]. The slopes the area are Classified based on direction Strike beds into Parallel Oblique Lateral [3] Slope Types Co...

A number of geophysical observations reveal that the underthrusting Indian continental plate beneath southern Tibetan Plateau is laterally torn and segmented, with contrasting subduction angles along strike. However, mechanism such kind slab tearing remains unclear. Here, a series 3-D high-resolution numerical models are conducted, which suggest lateral variation (either gradually or abruptly c...

The seismic moment and source orientation of the 8 November 1980 Eureka, California, earthquake (Ms = 7.2) are determined using long-period surface and body wave data obtained from the SRO, ASRO, and IDA networks. The favorable azimuthal distr ibution of the recording stations allows a well-constrained mechanism to be determined by a simultaneous moment tensor inversion of the Love and Rayleigh...
