Previous studies (e.g., Satoh et al., 1995a) on inversion of quality factor for S waves, QS, of sediments using surface-to-borehole spectral ratios of seismograms, are mostly based on one-dimensional wave propagation of vertically incident SH waves. In this study a method is proposed for inverting frequency-dependent QS, S-wave velocity VS, P-wave velocity VP and incidence angle by considering ...

We constrain SH and P wave velocity structures in the upper mantle beneath southern Africa, using triplicated phases recorded in the epicentral distance range of 11°–28° for one shallow event. We then explore thermal and compositional models appropriate for explaining the inferred seismic structures in the region. Both SH and P wave data suggest presence of a low velocity zone with velocity red...

Problems of wave propagation in perfect magnetoelastic conductors have been studied, among others, by Knopoff [1], Dunkin and Eringen [2], Yu and Tang [3], Paria [4]. Kalishki and Rogula [5] have discussed Rayleigh waves in a semi-infinite perfect electrical conductor for a single component magnetic field. The propagation of Rayleigh-type magnetoelastic waves in a semi-infinite perfect electric...

OBJECTIVE Many states and local communities have enacted social host (SH) laws to reduce underage drinking in private settings. However, little is known about whether such laws are effective. This study examined relationships between city SH laws and underage drinking in general and at parties in private settings. METHOD SH policy data were collected for 50 California cities in 2009, and SH p...

Observations of non-linear second harmonic (SH) in various waves have recently been reported by several studies. However, the quantitative relation amplitudes between fundamental wave (FW) and SH has not derived verified yet. In this letter, equations for FW are simplified under cold plasma assumption, which is reasonable inner magnetosphere. The electromagnetic ion cyclotron theoretically thro...

A Mathematical model has been considered to study the reflection and refraction phenomenon of plane wave at the interface of an isotropic liquid medium and a triclinic (anisotropic) half-space. The incident plane qP wave generates three types of reflected waves namely quasi-P (qP), quasi-SV (qSV) and quasi-SH (qSH) waves in the tric...

The impact of tropical sea surface temperature (SST) on stratospheric planetary waves in the Southern Hemisphere (SH) is investigated in austral spring using observed SST and reanalysis data for the past three decades. Maximum covariance analysis indicates that the tropical SST and the SH stratospheric planetary wave activity are primarily coupled through two modes. The leading two modes show t...

The design and performance of guided shear horizontal surface acoustic wave (guided SH-SAW) devices on LiTaO3 substrates are investigated for high-sensitivity chemical and biochemical sensors in liquids. Despite their structural similarity to Rayleigh SAW, SH-SAWs often propagate slightly deeper within the substrate, hence preventing the implementation of high-sensitivity detectors. The device ...

Background. Subclinical hypothyroidism (SH) predominantly affects women. The necessity of treatment in SH is controversial. Objective. We aimed to investigate the response of diastolic dysfunction to thyroid hormone replacement therapy (THRT) in women. Methods and Results. Twenty-two female subjects with SH and 20 euthyroid female controls were enrolled. Baseline and follow-up biochemical, horm...
