Fling-step and forward directivity are two important characteristics of near-field earthquakes. Forward directivity occurs when the rupture propagates toward the site and arises in fault‐normal direction for strike‐slip faults. Fling-step is the consequence of permanent ground displacement imposed by near-field earthquakes and arises in strike-slip faults in the strike parallel direction. Fling...

We prove a symmetry relationship between floating-strike and fixed-strike Asian options for assets driven by general Lévy processes using a change of numéraire and the characteristic triplet of the dual process. We apply the same technique to prove a similar relationship between floating-strike and fixed-strike lookback options.

SUMMARY We present the results of a shear wave splitting analysis performed on teleseismic SK(K)S and direct S recordings 68 temporary broad-band stations to investigate mantle deformation northern side Arabia–Eurasia collision zone in NW Iran. used Reference Station Technique overcome potential contamination from source-side anisotropy signals. This method enabled us expand our measurement dat...

INTRODUCTION Fish mycobacteriosis is caused by the non-tuberculous mycobacteria. Infected fish are normally the primary source of infection, although non-tuberculous Mycobacteria can be found in the environment. The present study was designed to investigate the few recently found suspected cases of mycobacteriosis in Iranian ornamental fish tanks. MATERIALS AND METHODS Pathological specimens ...

Teherán az Alborz hegység déli lábánál, 1200-1600 méter közötti magasságban helyezkedik el, egy, a hegyekkel keletről és nyugatról is körülölelt völgyben. A város meghatározó földrajzi adottsága az, hogy területe északról dél felé lejt, vagyis tengerszint feletti magasság ellenére jól benapozott, kellemes klímájú.

The Alborz coal basin is located in northern part of Iran. The coal deposits of Shahrood in eastern Alborz, Zirab in central Alborz and Abyek in western Alborz were studied as typical coalfields of the basin. Shemshak Formation which is the main coal-bearing sequence was formed during the Triassic-Jurassic in the basin. It consists of sandstone, siltstone, shale and claystone, which variedly al...

This paper proposes a method for detecting geomagnetic sudden commencement (SC) from a geomagnetic horizontal (H) component b y using lifting wavelet lters. Lifting wavelet lters are biorthog-onal wavelet lers containing free parameters. Our method is to learn such free parameters based on some training signals which c o n tain the SC. The learnt w avelet lters have the feature of training sign...
