CHAMP satellite and relatively densely spaced ground-based data measured over southern Africa between 2005 and 2010 are combined in a new regional, harmonic spline based, core field model. This new SACFM-2 model is compared to the regional SARM model, which is based only on satellite data, and the global CHAOS-6 model. The results agree well in the vertical (Z) component, with somewhat larger d...

Under general assumptions, we present a low-energy effective action for the quantum Hall state when edges exist. It is shown that the chiral edge current is necessary to make the effective action to be gauge invariant. However the chiral edge current is irrelevant to the Hall current. The exactly quantized value of σxy is observed only when the Hall current does not flow at the edge region. Our...

geophysical data are always affected by different sources of anomaly. these sources are classified in to three groups: first group is relatively deep sources commonly called as regional effects, second group is near surface sources or local effects and third group is high frequency noises. the only common way to separate the anomaly is separation with respect to the signal frequency. there are ...

congenital double lip anomaly is an infrequent developmental abnormality affecting the lips, more commonly the upper lip. 5 cases of double lip are being reported for the first time from iran and all confined to the upper lip. a new surgical excision is being introduced which is called transverse cupid bow-like elliptical incision. the previous traditional method was a simple elliptical excisio...

The temporal evolution of a regional-scale persistent low-frequency anomaly is examined with data from a 2100-day perpetual January general circulation model. The persistent episodes are determined with an objective analysis of the low-pass (.10 day) 350-mb streamfunction field that uses both pattern correlations and empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis. The composite evolution of each ...

We present a method for separating regional and residual magnetic fields using a 3-D magnetic inversion algorithm. The separation is achieved by inverting the observed magnetic data from a large area to construct a regional susceptibility distribution. The magnetic field produced by the regional susceptibility model is then used as the regional field, and the residual data are obtained by simpl...

We compute the transgressed forms of some modularly invariant characteristic forms, which are related to the twisted elliptic genera. We study the modularity properties of these secondary characteristic forms and relations among them. We also get some twisted anomaly cancellation formulas on some odd dimensional manifolds. Subj. Class.: Differential geometry; Algebraic topology MSC: 58C20; 57R2...

S U M M A R Y We present a resolution study of the velocity structure beneath Iceland as constrained by teleseismic traveltime tomography using data from the HOTSPOT seismic network. This temporary PASSCAL network and the tomographic technique that was used to generate the ICEMAN velocity models are typical of regional seismic studies. Therefore, this study also provides a basis for understandi...

structural analysis of remotely sensed data provides a method of assessing the structural significance of large-magnitude regional metallogenesis in the kerman porphyry cu belt in the southern part of the central iranian volcanic belt. the role of large-magnitude ring structures in the distribution of hydrothermal alteration zones and porphyry copper deposits in the southern part of the kerman ...

This article investigates through numerical experiments the controversial question of the impact of El Nin̂o-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomena on climate according to large-scale and regional-scale interhemispheric thermal contrast. Eight experiments (two considering only inversed Atlantic thermal anomalies and six combining ENSO warm phase with large-scale interhemispheric contrast and Atla...
