abstract a mountain glacier, when it occupies a river valley, immediately begins to change the cross-section and profile of that valley. river valleys in mountain areas tends to have v-shaped profiles. glaciers work to widen as well as deepen their valleys and the typical cross-section of a glacial valley is u-shaped. the u-shaped glacial valley is one of the most characteristic of glacial land...

the goal of this article is to study the shimashki potteries in the saymarreh valley. archaeological surveys conducted in the saymarreh valley shows that the painted pottery tradition of godin iii has become prevalent in the valley during the bronze age and only once, development of this pottery tradition had cracked. this event took place in the phase of godin iii4, which we relate it to the i...

in this paper, an advanced formulation of the spectral finite element method (sfem) is presented and applied in order to carry out site response analysis of 2d topographic structures subjected to vertically propagating incident in-plane waves in time-domain. the accuracy, efficiency and applicability of the formulation are demonstrated by solving some wave scattering examples. a numerical param...

The morphology of glacial valley can be described in terms of power law or quadratic equations fitted to valley cross-profiles. These two models are used to study the cross-profiles of 86 valley cross-profiles in the Zardkuh Mountain in order to understand the evolutional patterns of valleys. Assessment of using the power law function indicates that b values for both valley sides range from 1.0...

a field study was conducted in nine villages, three each from kupwara, handwara and karnah tehsils of kupwara district, to find out the nutritional value of feeds and fodders, existing feeding practices and nutritional status of dairy cattle. data was collected from the fifteen farm families from each of the nine were randomly selected through a common questionnaire. all the farmers were found ...

A robust valley polarization is a key prerequisite for exploiting valley pseudospin to carry information in next-generation electronics and optoelectronics. Although monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides with inherent spin-valley coupling offer a unique platform to develop such valleytronic devices, the anticipated long-lived valley pseudospin has not been observed yet. Here we demonstrate...

a preliminary palaeomagnetic results from basalt outcrops in northeast lebanon is reported. the remanence carrier of the characteristic magnetisation is magnetite.  both variations of susceptibility and anisotropy directional data show that the measured directions of thermoremanent magnetisation (trm) are representative of the ambient field at the time of cooling of these basalts through their ...

The valley degree of freedom in two-dimensional (2D) crystals recently emerged as a novel information carrier in addition to spin and charge. The intrinsic valley lifetime in 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) is expected to be markedly long due to the unique spin-valley locking behavior, where the intervalley scattering of the electron simultaneously requires a large momentum transfer t...
