متن کاملMagnetotelluric Studies of Active Continent–Continent Collisions
Continent–continent collisions are an important tectonic process and have played a fundamental role in the evolution of the modern continents. A combination of geological and geophysical data has provided new constraints on the structure and temporal evolution of these orogens. Magnetotelluric (MT) studies have been an important part of these studies since they can constrain the fluid content a...

The use of a device that simulates the actual condition, as well as being equivalent to the human body in materials and tissues, and having the capability of acting like internal motions of human body is necessary to investigate and simulate the motion of a tumor in radiotherapy and to evaluate dosimetrical coverage of the dynamic target. This device which is called the dynamic phantom should s...
