The relationship between the scaling properties of faulted geological surfaces and parameters describing the underlying fault population are investigated using simulations of a dip-slip faulted surface. Analysis of multiple simulations of sections through the surface allowed the construction of a statistical relationship between the parameters defining the fault population and the fractal dimen...

We report the nonlocal desorption of chlorobenzene molecules from the Si(111)-(7×7) surface by charge injection from the laterally distant tip of a scanning tunneling microscope and demonstrate remote control of the manipulation process by precise selection of the atomic site for injection. Nonlocal desorption decays exponentially as a function of radial distance (decay length ∼100  A) from the...

This paper proposes an approach for the protection of transmission lines with FACTS based on Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) using Wavelet Transform (WT). The required features for the proposed algorithm are extracted from the measured transient current and voltage waveforms using discrete wavelet transform (DWT). Those features are employed for fault detection and faulted phase selection usin...

We study the robustness of the butter y network against random static faults. Suppose that each edge of the butter y is present independently of other edges with probability p. Our main result is that there is a 0-1 law on the existence of a linearsized component. More formally, there is a critical probability p such that for p above p , the faulted butter y almost surely contains a linear-size...

Most of the previous diagnostics research for vapor compression equipment has been performed for packaged air conditioners and chillers. This paper describes application of a decoupling-based diagnostic technique that was originally developed for air conditioners to equipment used in walk-in coolers and freezers. Testing was performed on a small, restaurant-style walk-in cooler and a small walk...

Z-shape faulted dipoles in deformed GaAs were investigated by using high resolution electron microscopy. There is no difference in the core structure of the a and b dislocations of stair-rod and 90 Shockley partials, nor in the dissociated stacking fault width. The central stacking fault is found to generate large local atomic displacements and exhibits a different structure from that of the in...

Raman spectral shifts of carbonaceous materials arising from faulted rocks produce varied and complex results. By analyzing adjacent non-faulted samples three discrete localities in France, Italy, Morocco, we assess changes specific parameters, including G-peak width, position, peak intensity ratios. We consistently observe a shift parameters between samples; however, the direction magnitude th...
