A mathematical model is considered to investigate the behavior of horizontally polarized shear waves (SH-waves) in fluid saturated porous medium sandwiched between heterogeneous half-spaces. Heterogeneity in the upper half-space is due to linear variation of elastic parameters, whereas quadratic variation has been considered for lower half-space. The method of separation of variables and Whitta...

Compressional(Vp) and shear-wave (Vs) velocities were determined within earthen levees on the Rio Grande River in south Texas, south New Mexico and New Orleans. A loosely fitting relationship was developed to better characterize the internal condition of the levees. Seismic data were incorporated with surface observations, existing core taken from the levee, and airborne EM data acquired. Sever...

S U M M A R Y It is well established that the Earth’s uppermost mantle is anisotropic, but there are no clear observations of anisotropy in the deeper parts of the mantle. Surface waves are well suited to observe anisotropy since they carry information about both radial and azimuthal anisotropy. Fundamental mode surface waves, for commonly used periods up to 200 s, are sensitive to structure in...

Compassionate love has received research attention over the last decade, but it is as yet unclear how it is experienced over a lifetime. The purpose of this study was to investigate compassionate love for a romantic partner throughout the adult life span, exploring individual differences in the propensity to experience compassionate love in regard to age, gender, religion, love status, love sty...

Background and Objectives: Love failure can cause intense emotional damage in a person. Therefore, it is necessary to identify and strengthen the factors that improve the experience of an individual with love failure. With this background in mind, the present study aimed to evaluate the effect of spiritual-religious psychotherapy on love trauma syndrome and acceptance of the problem in female s...

Years ago when it all began, when I was 16, I was lying in the grass and I heard a crying child. I looked for it. I couldn't find the child. When I went home I heard the child again. There was also some other person, who kept repeating my name. It was friendly, even kind. I thought this will be my secret. The child and the person who repeated my name belong to a world of freedom. A world where ...

Abdalla, Marwa. "Can participants extract subtle information from gesturelike visual stimuli that are coordinated with speech without using any other cues?. ii To My Family, for their care and loving support iii ABSTRACT Embodied cognition is the reflection of an organism's interaction with its environment on its cognitive processes. We explored the question whether participants are able to pic...
