[1] We used dense linear seismic arrays across and along the San Andreas Fault (SAF) at Parkfield, California to record fault zone trapped waves generated by explosions and microearthquakes in 2002. Prominent trapped waves appeared at stations close to the SAF main fault trace while some energy was trapped in the north strand at the array site. Observations and 3-D finitedifference simulations ...

A recent report developed by the National Research Council (NRC) for the Defense Modeling and Simulation Office (DMSO) encourages the use of real world, war-gaming, and laboratory data in support of the development and validation of human behavioral models for military simulations. Also encouraged in this report is the use of interdisciplinary teams embracing the disciplines of the psychologica...

Ad hoc networks are usually unreliable and have limited bandwidth resources. In such networks, packet injection attacks can cause serious denial-of-service via wireless channel contention and network congestion. To defend against this type of injection attacks, we propose SAF, an efficient and effective Source Authentication Forwarding protocol. The protocol can either immediately filter out in...

The need for development of new approaches for defect/fault analysis of VLSI circuit is growing and becomes even more important as we move further into the sub-micron devices. Yield loss in ICs fabrication and testing of the manufactured ICs now are major bottlenecks in the production of qualitative VLSI circuits. For instance, it is predicted that the test costs for the emerging deep submicron...

[1] The magnetotelluric dataset collected on the San Andreas Fault at Parkfield has been re-analyzed using superior inversion algorithms that have been developed in recent years. A combination of constrained inversion, forward modeling and synthetic inversion studies are used, and show that at the SAFOD site, the low resistivity fault zone extends to a depth of 2–3 km. An extended zone of low r...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of conventional syringe, ultrasonic, EndoVac (Discus Dental, Culver City, CA), and Self-Adjusting File (SAF) (Re-Dent-Nova, Ra'nana, Israel) irrigation systems in removing calcium hydroxide (Ca[OH]2) from simulated root canal irregularities. METHODS The root canals of 88 extracted single-rooted teeth were prepared using ProTaper r...

All of these have inhibitory activity, and most of them produce different biological lesions (EinOur previous work indicated that secalonic acid F (SAF) was the hellig, 1995). major allelochemical produced by Aspergillus japonicus.
