[1] Shear wave splitting measurements using teleseismic PKS, SKKS, and SKS phases recorded by station LSA on the southern part of the Lhasa Terrane of the Tibetan Plateau reveal significant azimuthal anisotropy with a splitting time of up to 1.5 s, a conclusion that is contradictory to previous studies which suggested isotropy or weak anisotropy. In addition, systematic variations of the splitt...

A of seismic waves is sensitive to the physical properties of the subsurface and has been observed in vertical seismic profiling (VSP) and reflection data. De et al. (1994) report measurements of the Pand S-wave quality factors from VSP surveys and sonic logs. Klimentos (1995) measures compressional and shear attenuation from sonic logs in sandstone formations with variable oil, water, and gas...

These proceedings present a set of PHENIX highlight results using recent high-luminosity data sets for p + , ( d 3 He)+A, and A+A(B) collisions at RHIC top energies with focus on: (1) light-flavor particle productions; (2) hard-probes such as jet-like correlations, direct photon, heavy-quark (3) azimuthal anisotropy in small collision systems.

AB: We performed shear-wave splitting of core phases using a subset of 33 selected events within an array composed of 48 broadband stations that spans a 650x350 km area crossing the Lhasa and the southern part of the Qiangtang terranes. Our results reveal the presence of azimuthal anisotropy with small-to-moderate delay times (0.5-1.4s). The consistency of the splitting parameters with respect ...

Defining the oceanic lithosphere as a thermal boundary layer allows to explain, to first order, age-dependent bathymetry and isotropic wave speeds. In contrast, SS precursors and receiver functions suggest a subhorizontal interface within this layer, on top of a radially anisotropic zone. Comparing a suite of geodynamic scenarios against surface wave dispersion data and seismic discontinuities,...

The sub-surface damage in ground and subsequently annealed alumina/silicon carbide nanocomposite has been studied by analysis of the x-ray diffraction line width as a function of incidence angle. Bragg peak broadening fell as the depth of penetration of the x-ray beam increased. Despite substantial anisotropy in the uniform compressional strain in the surface of the ground material, no signific...

The paper dwells into the comparison of parametric and non-parametric complex-valued 2D signal analysis, focusing the attention on complex-valued sub-meter SAR image data. The work is based on the study carried out in [1][2], [3][4] and [5]. In [1][2] a parametric Gauss-Markov Random Field (GMRF) model has been proposed for texture analysis and in [3][4] a time-frequency analysis (TFA) method h...

We report a theoretical overview of the magnetic domain wall behavior under an electric current in infinitely long nanotubes with azimuthal magnetization, combining one-dimensional analytic model and micromagnetic simulations. highlight effects that, besides spin-transfer torques already largely understood flat strips, arise specifically tubular geometry: \OE{}rsted field curvature-induced anis...

Systematic spatial variations of anisotropic characteristics are revealed beneath the eastern U.S. using seismic data recorded between 1988 and 2016 by 785 stations. The resulting fast polarization orientations of the 5613 measurements are generally subparallel to the absolute plate motion (APM) and are inconsistent with the strike of major tectonic features. This inconsistency, together with t...
