geological facies interpretation is essential for reservoir studying. the method of classification and identification seismic traces is a powerful approach for geological facies classification and distinction. use of neural networks as classifiers is increasing in different sciences like seismic. they are computer efficient and ideal for patterns identification. they can simply learn new algori...

Setback in elevation of a structure is a special irregularity with considerable effect on its seismic performance. This paper addresses multistory Reinforced Concrete (RC) frame buildings, regular and irregular in elevation. Several multistory Reinforced Concrete Moment Resisting Frames (RCMRFs) with different types of setbacks, as well as the regular frames in elevation, are designed according...

Well data gives precise information on reservoir properties at specific field locations with high vertical resolution. 3D seismic surveys cover large areas of the field but reservoir properties are not directly observable due to poor vertical resolution. For this paper, a new methodology has been developed and tested for relating reservoir properties at the well-bore to sets of seismic attribut...

[1] We study the scaling relationships of source parameters and the self-similarity of earthquake spectra by analyzing a cluster of over 400 small earthquakes (ML = 0.5 to 3.4) recorded by the Anza seismic network in southern California. We compute P, S, and preevent noise spectra from each seismogram using a multitaper technique and approximate source and receiver terms by iteratively stacking...

We report on the installation of a long-term buried ocean-floor broadband seismic station (MOBB) in Monterey Bay, California (U.S.A.), 40 km off-shore, at a water depth of 1000 m. The station was installed in April 2002 using a ship and ROV, in a collaborative effort between the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) and the Berkeley Seismological Laboratory (BSL). The station is loca...

the main objective of this article is to present the results of a study on the advertising mechanisms through which cultural values are being represented in commercial ads played in iranian national tv.  in other words, the problematic of this paper resides in the point made clear in the islamic republic of iran's constitutional codes, which emphasize the necessity of considering religious...
