Sharp dips observed in the pulse profiles of three X-ray pulsars (GX 1+4, RX J0812.4−3114 and A 0535+26) have previously been suggested to arise from partial eclipses of the emission region by the accretion column occurring once each rotation period. We present pulse-phase spectroscopy from Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer satellite observations of GX 1+4 and RX J0812.4−3114 which for the first time...

The subducted old and cold Pacific Plate beneath the young Philippine Sea Plate at the Izu-Bonin trench over the Cenozoic hosts regional deep earthquakes. We investigate slab morphology and stress regimes under different trench motion histories with mantle convection models. Viscosity, temperature, and deviatoric stress are inherently heterogeneous within the slab, which we link to the occurren...

We herein report on a remarkably simple, fast, and economic way of fabricating homogeneous and well oriented silver nanowires (AgNWs) that exhibit strong in-plane electrical and optical anisotropies. Using a small quantity of AgNW suspension, the horizontal-dip (H-dip) coating method was applied, in which highly oriented AgNWs were deposited unidirectionally along the direction of coating over ...

Earthquakes are a major external factor that induce landslides. In order to systematically study the dynamic effects and failure mechanism of anti-dip bedding rock slopes (the slope trend is same as joint trend, while dip direction opposite direction) under seismic action (as well spatial structural planes in slopes), three-dimensional (3D) discrete-element numerical calculations were performed...

Recently, deep learning-based methods are proposed for hyperspectral images (HSIs) denoising. Among them, unsupervised such as image prior (DIP)-based have received much attention because these do not require any training data. However, DIP-based suffer from the semi-convergence behavior, i.e., iteration of needs to terminate by referring ground-truth at optimal point. In this paper, we propose...

We investigated the source mechanism of the 1975 Kalapana, Hawaii, earthquake (Ms= 7.2) by modeling the tsunamis observed at three tide-gauge stations, Hilo, Kahului, and Honolulu. We computed synthetic tsunamis for various fault models. The arrival times and the amplitudes of the synthetic tsunamis computed for Ando's fault model (fault length= 40 km, fault width= 20 km, strike= N70°E, dip= 20...

Based on our previous study, cereal crop wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) could be infected by rhizobia Azorhizobium caulinodans ORS571, and form para-nodules with the induction of 2.4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, a common plant growth regulator. To enhance this infection and the potential agricultural application, we compared six different infection methods (Direct seed dip; Seed germination dip; P...

The specific length of a tunnel (STL) and new analytical model for calculating the block surface area rock mass are introduced. First, method determining appropriate numerical simulation is described. then used to examine correlation between inflow rate volume, area, fracture intensity (P32) through modeling. results indicate that should at least be equal common multiple (LCM) apparent spacings...

Dipyridamole (DIP) is a well-known pharmaceutical drug used as a coronary vasodilator and anti-platelet agent in clinics for treating several cardiovascular diseases. Primarily, the therapeutic effects of the drug are attributed to its antioxidant potency. In this research, we aim to declare the unknown antioxidant mechanism of DIP as well as its potent chain-breaking antioxidant activity in po...
