S U M M A R Y Data from three seismic arrays installed in southern Peruwere analysed using receiver functions from P, PP and PKP wave phases, in order to image the subducted Nazca slab. The arrays cover the transition region from flat slab subduction in central Peru to normal subduction with an angle of about 30◦ further south. A previous study used data from the first array in the normal subdu...

MICROBUBBLE GENERATION BY PIEZOELECTRIC TRANSDUCERS FOR BIOMEDICAL STUDIES Mohammed Alkhazal Old Dominion University, 2016 Director: Shu Xiao Bubbles induced by blast waves or shocks are speculated as the major cause of damage in biological cells in mild traumatic brain injuries (TBI). Microbubble collapse was found to induce noticeable cell detachment from the cell substrate, changes in focal ...

The theory of local homology modules was initiated by Matlis in 1974. It is a dual version of the theory of local cohomology modules. Mohammadi and Divaani-Aazar (2012) studied the connection between local homology and Gorenstein flat modules by using Gorenstein flat resolutions. In this paper, we introduce generalized local homology modules for complexes and we give several ways for computing ...
