Large earthquakes alter the crustal stress field across great distances (hundreds to thousands of kilometers) over geologically short timescales (seconds years). These changes can affect magmatic systems, triggering (or suppressing) volcanic unrest and eruption, along with other deeper processes. We use simple kinematic source models in an isotropic elastic half-space assess earthquake-induced ...

Flux cored arc welding (FCAW) is applied due to its remarkable results and advantages (high productivity, joint quality etc) in various fields (industrial construction, naval, chemistry, petrochemistry etc.). FCAW disadvantages, mainly the emission of pollutants, can be counteracted by their rigorous control and local forced ventilation in the production. Control measures that can be used for m...

Rapid India-Asia convergence has led to a major continental collision and formation of the Himalayas, the highest mountain range on Earth. Knowledge of the paleolatitude of the Kohistan-Ladakh Arc (KLA), an intermediate tectonic unit currently situated between the converging Indian and Eurasian continents in Western Himalaya, would constrain the tectonic history and dynamics of Himalayan orogen...

Clustering of arc volcanoes in subduction zones indicates along-arc variation in the physical condition of the underlying mantle where majority of arc magmas are generated. The sub-arc mantle is brought in from the back-arc largely by slab-driven mantle wedge flow. Dynamic processes in the back-arc, such as small-scale mantle convection, are likely to cause lateral variations in the back-arc ma...

BACKGROUND Reentry has been shown to be a mechanism of ventricular arrhythmias elicited by programmed premature stimulation in the subacute ischemic period of dogs subjected to myocardial infarction. The spatial distribution of refractoriness in these hearts has been shown to play an important part in the formation of functional arcs of conduction block during programmed ventricular stimulation...

Arc fault is the arc that may cause damage to the society. Arc is with high temperature and massive heat. If arc fault appears in the low voltage supply environment, it will lead to fire or disaster. So detection and protection of arc fault is essential. In order to prevent the damage of fault arc, a new apparatus named Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) has been proposed. In the paper, arc f...

Arc faults pose challenges to electric safety, which can cause serious fire hazards. However, the commonly used arc fault detection method is prone nuisance tripping. This paper proposed a hybrid based on improved Mel-Frequency Ceptral Coefficients (MFCC) for preprocessing and neural network model identification called ARC_MFCC. As per IEC 62606, twelve different loads/scenarios are considered ...
