in the form of passive seismic methods, broadband seismometers have been used in hydrocarbon exploration. the frequency bandwidth typically studied is in the range of 1–6 hz. the observations on low frequency band of microtremors are used to calculate the spectral ratio of vertical and horizontal components (v/h) and power spectral density (psd). attributes based on the v/h ratio and the psd ha...

dynamic response of underground structures has always been a topic of concern for designers and researchers. the behavior of these complicated systems under blast loading is affected by various factors and parametric studies are required to investigate their significance. the importance of soil density around the underground structure through which, the waves of explosion of a penetrator bomb i...

We use passive and active techniques to study microrheology of a biopolymer solution. The passive technique is video tracking of tracer particles in the biopolymer, a technique which is well established. The active technique is based on rotating optical tweezers, which is used to study viscosity. A method to actively measure viscoelascity using time varying rotation of a particle trapped in opt...

passive defense is a set of civilian efforts performed to enhance deterrence, reduce vulnerability, sustain essential activities, promote national stability, and facilitate crisis management against military threats of an enemy. since in battles, sensitive and critical areas of cities are of paramount importance,it is clear that in military agressions, a large part of threats are focused on cit...

swelling urban populations and increasing number of industry and especially automobiles in and around cities have resulted in adverse effect on human health. one of the most important things regarding air pollution in these days is that the number of motor vehicles has increased, and the resulting problems of new types of air pollution on large scale need to be emphasized in large cities.the gr...

The purpose of this research is how to digitize palompong musical instruments using passive transducers (passive pick-up) on each blade. This study uses the practice-based method in understanding and deepening problem findings. results show that: Traditional can be implemented digitally. Through digitization Palompong's authentic voice with exploration effects has produced an acousmatic sound f...

In this paper, an iterative technique is proposed to solve linear integrated active/passive design problems. The optimality of active and passive parts leads to the nonlinear algebraic Riccati equation due to the active parameters and some associated additional Lyapunov equations due to the passive parameters. Rather than the solution of the nonlinear algebraic Riccati equation, it is proposed ...
