Periodic crustal deformation associated with repeated strike-slip earthquakes is computed for the following model; A depth L (< H) extending downward from the Earth's surface at a transform boundary between uniform elastic lithospheric plates of thickness H is locked between earthquakes. It slips an amount consistent with remote plate velocity Vp• after each lapse of earthquake cycle time Tcy. ...

In digital communication systems, different clock frequencies of transmitter and receiver usually are translated into cycle slips. Receivers and transmitters may experience different sampling frequencies due to manufacturing imperfection, Doppler effect introduced by channel or having error in estimation of symbol rate. Timing synchronization in presence of cycle slip for a burst sequence of re...

PURPOSE Angiogenesis plays a critical role in breast cancer progression and metastasis. Early detection could be important for improved treatment. Therefore, Dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) breast examinations have become a standard tool for the diagnosis of breast cancer diseases [1,2]. Due to recent concerns about Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF), there is an increasing need to use nonenha...
