5 To be submitted to Paleoceanography. The accuracy of geologic chronologies can, in principle, be improved through 6 orbital tuning, the systematic adjustment of a chronology to bring the as-7 sociated record into greater alignment with an orbitally derived signal. It would 8 be useful to have a general test for the success of orbital tuning, and one pro-9 posal has been that eccentricity ough...

Sea-level rise is a global problem, yet to forecast future changes, we must understand how and why relative sea level (RSL) varied in the past, on local to global scales. In East and Southeast Asia, details of Holocene RSL are poorly understood. Here we present two independent high-resolution RSL proxy records from Belitung Island on the Sunda Shelf. These records capture spatial variations in ...

The aim of this study was to determine the most suitable shaking frequency and amplitude for shake harvesting Esfahan's edible fig (Ficus carica cv. Sabz). A hand held limb shaker with adjustable shaking frequency and amplitude was used for this study. A 3x3 factorial experiment with three levels of oscillating frequency (10, 12 and 14 Hz) and three levels of shaking amplitude (20, 32.5 and 45 ...

contrary to the long period ground motions that can be predicted and estimated, high frequency ground motions have random character and behave stochastically. stochastic modeling methods are usually used for the modeling of high frequency ground motions where there are not strong ground motion records. stochastic methods are of two kinds: in the first one, the seismic source is considered as a ...

This paper introduces the indicators for surge arrester condition assessment based on the leakage current analysis. Maximum amplitude of fundamental harmonic of the resistive leakage current, maximum amplitude of third harmonic of the resistive leakage current and maximum amplitude of fundamental harmonic of the capacitive leakage current were used as indicators for surge arrester condition mon...
