[1] Changes in gravity due to volcanic loading of the crust are influenced by topography. We investigate the relative importance of topography and self-gravitation in the interpretation of gravity changes. It is shown that modeling of gravity changes can be more precise with the introduction of topographic relief, although it is neglected self-gravitation of the medium. This paper exploits this...

The determination of the crustal structure is essential in geophysics, as it gives insight into the geohistory, tectonic environment, geohazard mitigation, etc. Here we present the latest advance on three-dimensional modeling representing the Tibetan Mohorovičić discontinuity (topography and ranges) and its deformation (fold), revealed by analyzing gravity data from GOCE mission. Our study show...

one of the most important challenges in the development of urban railways network is the effects of railway vibrations on human and adjacent structures. although various investigations into the sources of railway vibrations have been conducted, very few research works have been reported on the influences of track geometry parameters on the level of vibrations. this is addressed in this research...

In this brief review, I summarize the new development on the correspondence between noncommuative (NC) field theory and gravity, shortly referred to as the NCFT/Gravity correspondence. I elucidate why a gauge theory in NC spacetime should be a theory of gravity. A basic reason for the NCFT/Gravity correspondence is that the Λ-symmetry (or B-field transformations) in NC spacetime can be consider...

The problem of negative total energy of certain mass systems in classical gravity and its connection with the existence of space-time singularities is brie y summarized. Some attempts to solve this problem are discussed, pointing out especially the possibility that rest masses of a gravitating systems could depend on the strength of the gravitational eld. The results are confronted with some ex...

We present a high-resolution lunar gravity field model (LGM2011) that provides gravity accelerations, free-air gravity anomalies, selenoid undulations and vertical deflections over the entire Moon’s surface. LGM2011 is based on the Japanese SELENE mission that provides the lowand medium-frequency constituents of the gravity field, down to spatial scales of ~78 km. At spatial scales between ~78 ...

A relativistic modified gravity (MOG) called Scalar-Tensor-Vector Gravity (STVG) desribes a self-consistent, stable gravity theory that contains Einstein’s general relativity in a well-defined limit. The theory has an extra degree of freedom, a vector field called a “phion” field whose curl is a skew symmetric field that couples to matter (“fifth force”). The spacetime geometry is described by ...

the grace mission has provided scientific community time-variable gravity field solutions with high precision and on a global scale. the grace mission was launched on march 2003. this mission consists of two satellites that pursue each other in their orbit. distance between two satellites in orbit is measured continuously to an accuracy of better than 1 micron using kbr system placed in satelli...

The application of an external magnetic field on a fluidized bed of ferromagnetic particles is well known in a conventional two-phase, gas–solid or liquid–solid fluidization. The external magnetic field significantly changes the fluidized bed fluid-dynamic behavior and if creatively used may enhance the bed performance. In this paper, a theoretical fluid-dynamic model describing behavior of a G...
