Two recent M s 7.6 strike-slip which ruptured in an M s 7.9 event in 1958. West of earthquakes in the northern Gulf of Alaska ruplongitude 144øW, motion is accommodated by undertured a composite 250-km-long north-striking zone thrusting and subduction along the Aleutian megain the Pacific plate. These shocks are attributed thrust, which last slipped in the 1964 earthquake. to a combination of e...

Integrating rehabilitation robots with human motion and force sensors for effective training and positive therapeutic effects is attracting more and more attentions in research and clinic fields (Bonato, 2010; Moreno et al., 2009). In order to control robots at the level of human motor control, the muscular activity of the lower limbs which has been estimated from measurements of joint moments ...

Thermal explosion mode of combustion synthesis was used to fabricate TiAl-Al2O3 and TiAl-Ti2AlC-Al2O3 composites from elemental powder mixtures of TiO2, Al and C and characterized by XRD and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) coupled with Energy-Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS). The experimental results showed that thermite reaction of Al with TiO2 caused TiAl-Al2O3 composite formation. By adding ...

Those who follow politics know that the borders between countries regulated suggesting that WNTs could be decisive for NPB fate acquisican cause disagreements and sometimes evenwar, and that border control is an ongoing source of controversy. A different—but not less controversial—border is established during embryogenesis in vertebrates: the neural plate border (NPB) that separates neural and ...

ome of the consequences of the motion of Earth's tectonic plates are quite evident: various mountain chains for instance. Others, such as events occurring deep in subduction zones where one plate plunges beneath another, can be seen only indirectly through seismic imaging techniques. The approach allows the structure of Earth's interior to be reconstructed from observed seismograms, and it cont...

In recent years, many researches on intelligent transportation systems (ITS) have been reported. ITSs are made up of 16 types of technology-based systems divided into intelligent infrastructure systems and intelligent vehicle systems. As one form of ITS technology, vehicle license plate recognition (VLPR) is one of important techniques that can be used for the identification of vehicles all ove...
