in an electrically anisotropic media, current density  is not aligned with the electric field  and varies with the e-field direction. this can be considered as the spatial aliasing effects aroused by the subsurface structures whose individual dimensions are smaller than the inductive length scale of diffusively propagating em fields. the role of these structures is particularly significant in t...

Strike activity in Spain is unusually high compared to most other developed countries and, moreover, it has remained at a high level for the last decade, whilst strike rates have been falling in most other countries. One possible explanation for this poor strikes record is Spanish labour law with respect to industrial disputes which may be too permissive, or have remained permissive whilst othe...

Current procedures in the planning of Tomahawk Land Attack Missile (TLAM) strikes in the United States Navy require an operator (the Strike Coordinator) to match available missiles to preplanned missions. Such strike planning is essentially manual, with little help from any computerized tool or decision-support system. This causes high workload for the Strike Coordinator, and drastically increa...

BACKGROUND Impulsive forces in the knee joint have been suspected to be a co-factor in the development and progression of knee osteoarthritis. We thus evaluated the impulsive sagittal ground reaction forces (iGRF), shock waves and lower extremity joint kinematics at heel strike during walking in knee osteoarthritis (OA) patients and compared them to those in healthy subjects. SUBJECTS AND MET...

Veterinary surgeons are sometimes asked to examine animals that have been found dead without premonitory signs. When death occurs in this manner and without explanation, the term ‘sudden unexpected (unexplained) death’ (SUD) is used.This does not necessarily imply that death was instantaneous, but is usually defined as the death of an animal that appears healthy but dies suddenly within a few m...

In 2012 August 11 (12:23 UTC) a moderate earthquake with MW=6.4 (USGS) occurred between Ahar and Varzaghan towns in Azarbayjan Province at northwest of Iran. After eleven minutes another earthquake shook the area with MW=6.2 (USGS). These consecutive earthquakes followed by intensive sequences of aftershocks whereas the strongest one had MW=5.3 (USGS). In data processing including depth modific...

Just before a hurricane is predicted to strike an urban area, millions of people evacuate from impact zones to safer regions. This paper provides a mass-evacuation strategy using public transportation before the strike of a hurricane. The assumptions made are that the evacuation zones, shelter locations, and the time of strike of the hurricane are pre-determined. The evacuation operations comme...

We consider the problem of pricing European forward starting options in the presence of stochastic volatility. By performing a change of measure using the asset price at the time of strike determination as a numeraire, we derive a closed-form solution based on Heston’s model of stochastic volatility.

We would like to thank the authors of the commentary [1] for pointing out the error in the analysis of the early winter months (Oct–Dec) in our article. We find that this is indeed correct, and wish to apologize for such an error in our analysis. After correcting the error we have been able to reproduce Figure 1 from the commentary. We wish to point out that we have checked that this issue has ...
