IODP Site U1518, drilled during Expeditions 372 and 375, penetrated a large-offset (∼6 km) thrust, the Pāpaku fault, rising from megathrust that hosts recurring slow slip events along Hikurangi margin. Although drilling intersected fault zone at only ∼300 m below seafloor within porous silty mudstone, it exhibits intense tectonic ductile deformation, including finely banded mudstones contorted ...

the nnw-trending dena fault, with 140 km length, cuts the major structures of zagros fold-thrust belt in borujen region. the fault has divided the region in two zones, in which different structural, andmorphological features as well assedimentation and seismtectonic characteristics have developed. this study presents a new interpretation for the kinematics of dena fault based on field evidence....

Along the eastern front of Teton Range, northeastern Basin and Range province (Wyoming, USA), well-preserved fault scarps that formed across moraines, river terraces, other geomorphological features indicate multiple earthquakes ruptured range-bounding normal after Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). Here we use high-resolution digital eleva­tion models derived from lidar data to determine vertical sli...

<span>This paper presents a novel shunt active power filter (SAPF). The converter that is used in this SAPF constructed from four-leg asymmetric multi-level cascaded H-bridge (CHB) inverter fed photovoltaic source. A three-dimensional space vector modulation (3D-SVPWM) technique adopted work. can generate 27-level output with harmonic content almost zero. In addition to the capability inj...

This paper provides a comparison of designed method fault ride through (FRT) circuit, i.e., switch-type current limiter (STFCL) and bridge-type (BFCL), to optimize the electrical parameters grid-connected solar systems (PVSs) under asymmetric single line-to-ground symmetric three-phase fault. The main differences between switch- limiters is electric component devices such as bridge rectifier, s...

The characteristics of near-fault ground motion are investigated considering heterogeneous slip distribution on the fault plane. Areas on the fault plane with large slip in compare with the average slip on the fault are known as asperity. The characteristics of strong ground motions in near-fault area are strongly affected by faulting parameters such as asperity location, maximum slip of asperi...

abstract background: increase in nitric oxide (no) concentration accompanied by alteration in peritoneal immune defense reactions is involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. asymmetric dimethylarginine is an endogenous competitive inhibitor of no synthase. this study was designed to compare no metabolite (nitrite), asymmetric dimethylarginine, and estradiol concentrations in serum and per...

The main criterion in investment decisions is to maximize the investors utility. Traditional capital asset pricing models cannot be used when asset returns do not follow a normal distribution. For this reason, we use capital asset pricing model with independent and identically asymmetric power distributed (CAPM-IIAPD) and capital asset pricing model with asymmetric independent and identically a...
