abstract the use of geophysical methods, before digging, can be effective in the archaeological explorations. in the meantime, the gravimetery is the one of the most widely methods that be use, due to lack of harmful environmental effects. the gravity method is based on density contrast between the anomalous body and the country rocks or around of them. for archeology studying, the target is de...

The THz polaritonics system is an on-chip platform for THz generation, detection, and control. THz-frequency electromagnetic waves are generated directly in a thin slab of lithium niobate crystal where they can be amplified and guided. Time-resolved phase-sensitive imaging lets us capture movies of THz waves as they propagate at the light-like speeds. I developed polaritonics methodologies and ...

in the present study a quasi 2-d numerical model is developed for calculating air concentration distribution in rapid flows. the model solves air continuity equation (convection diffusion equation) in the whole flow domain. this solution is then coupled with calculations of the free surface in which air content in the flow is also considered. to verify the model, its results are compared with a...

The thermal structure of a generic subduction zone is investigated to elucidate the source region of subduction zone volcanics. The steady state thermal field is evaluated for a model subduction zone where the plates are prescribed by kinematic boundary conditions, such that the subducting slab induces a flow in the mantle wedge. The resulting model suggests that the oceanic crust of the downgo...

Introduction: The determination of accurate dose distribution is an issue of fundamental importance in radiotherapy, especially with regard to the fact that the human body is a heterogeneous medium. Therefore, the present study aimed to analyze the density and isodose depth profiles of 6 MV beam in a SP34 slab-wooden dust (pine)-SP34 slab (SWS) heterogeneous phantom.  Materials and Methods: Th...

The temporal variability of the six terms of the energy balance equation for a slab of ice 3 m thick is calculated based on 45 yr of surface meteorological observations from the drifting ice stations of the former Soviet Union. The equation includes net radiation, sensible heat flux, latent heat flux, bottom heat flux, heat storage, and energy available for melting. The energy balance is determ...
