China has been conducting fixed continuous apparent resistivity observations since 1967. Up to June 2022, 45 earthquakes with magnitudes of M S 6.0–6.9 have occurred within a range approximately 250 km from normal operating stations. Through literature investigation and data analysis, monitoring stations counted 61 short-medium-term anomalous changes (i.e., 44 decrease changes, 15 increase 2 pe...

Thin films of tungsten nitride (WNx) were deposited by MOCVD from the single-source precursor Cl4(CH3CN)W(N Pr). Films were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and cross-section scanning electron microscopy (X-SEM), while the film resistivity was determined by four-point probe. Film growth rates ranged from 10 to 27 ( A/min within a temperature range of 450–70...

A geophysical investigation involving the vertical electrical sounding (VES) electrical resistivity methods was carried out around Pydibhimavaram Industrial area Srikakulam district Andhra Pradesh. Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) using Schlumberger array was conducted at thirteen (13) VES stations. The study was carried out with a view to determine the subsurface layer parameters (resistivit...

We have studied the evolution of superconducting and normal state properties of neutron irradiated Mg(B.962C.038)2 wire segments as a function of post exposure annealing time and temperature. The initial fluence fully suppressed superconductivity and resulted in an anisotropic expansion of the unit cell. Superconductivity was restored by post-exposure annealing. The upper critical field, Hc2(T=...

The inversion of vertical electrical sounding (VES) is normally performed considering a stratified medium formed by homogeneous, isotropic and horizontal layers. The simplicity of this geophysical model makes the inversion simple and computationally fast, and together with the main characteristics of the electroresistivity method, it was greatly responsible to make VES one of the most popular g...

Geo-electrical resistivity techniques have been employed in the High Barind as a reconnaissance investigation for the subsurface lithology. Out of 13 upazillas, comprising the Barind tract, Sapahar and Porsha Upazillas, situated in the High Barind are badly affected by water shortage. Vertical electrical soundings (VES) were executed using Schlumberger configuration in different areas taking th...

Archaeological studies are important for understanding the historical environments and analysis of consequences their changes in current period, geophysical methods an tool enabling a low-impact on these. This study evaluated influence rainfall mapping landscape features archaeological site AP-MA-05 using geostatistical methods. To obtain data, method electroresistivity was used area UNIFAP 10 ...
