study area is located in the central kopehdagh north of bojnurd and shirvan cities, between kakli and raz villages. aim of this research is separating high activity area from low activity. in this study, in order to evaluate rate of tectonic activity, stream length-gradient index (sl), ratio of valley floor width to valley height (vf), transverse topographic system (t), hypsometric integral (hi...

tectonic processes are major factors controlling landform development in tectonically active areas. in order to evaluate quantitative measurement of tectonic activities in the alamarvdasht basin in the south of iran, six different morphological indices including stream-gradient index (sl), drainage basin asymmetry (af), hypsometric integral (hi), valley floor width-valley height ratio (vf), dra...

Morphotectonic investigations were carried out by the use of morphometric indices which serve as a tool of identification in regions with active tectonic warp. Landforms in active deformation area are produced from relations of tectonic and surficial processes. One of the most significant landforms underground is rivers that are extremely responsive to tectonic movements mainly uplift and tilti...

OBJECTIVES This study was undertaken to compare the hemodynamic performance of a percutaneous bioprosthesis to that of surgically implanted (stented and stentless) bioprostheses for the treatment of severe aortic stenosis. METHODS Fifty patients who underwent percutaneous aortic valve implantation (PAVI) with the Cribier-Edwards or Edwards SAPIEN bioprosthetic valve (Edwards Lifesciences, Inc...

the present study carried out to identify neo tectonic activity of the gorgan river basin in golestan province, in north of eastern alborz range is investigated by four geomorphic indices including the stream– gradient index (sl), drainage basin asymmetry (af), reveres symmetry of topography (t) and mountain front sinuosity (smf). result from the analysis is accumulated and expressed as an in...

Geomorphic parameters are very helpful as they can quickly explain the concerned area, which is going through a tectonic adjustment. For this purpose, four indices were applied to examine active tectonics in Quetta-Ziarat region. These include: sub-basins asymmetry (Af), transverse topography (T-Factor), hypsometric integral (HI) and stream-length gradient (SL). The calculation of three denoted...

The score function estimator is widely used for estimating gradients of stochastic objectives in Stochastic Computation Graphs (SCG), e.g., in reinforcement learning and meta-learning. While deriving the first order gradient estimators by differentiating a surrogate loss (SL) objective is computationally and conceptually simple, using the same approach for higher order gradients is more challen...

We present unpublished work of D. Carter, G. Keller, and E. Paige on bounded generation in special linear groups. Let n be a positive integer, and let A = O be the ring of integers of an algebraic number field K (or, more generally, let A be a localization OS−1). If n = 2, assume that A has infinitely many units. We show there is a finite-index subgroup H of SL(n, A), such that every matrix in ...
