Integration of geological and geophysical data from the active Banda orogen reveals important variations in structural style with time that reconcile rival hypotheses for the tectonic evolution of the Banda arc. These variations indicate the temporal distribution of strain in the collision zone by vertical and horizontal structural restorations of the collision through time. In the western part...

In this study, the analysis of transverse vibrations of rectangular plate with circular central hole with different boundary conditions is studied and the natural frequencies and natural modes of a rectangular plate with circular hole have been obtained. To solve the problem, it is necessary to use both Cartesian and polar coordinate system. The complexity of the method is to apply an appropria...

7 The Tertiary continental strata of the Himalayan foreland basin are subdivided in two 8 groups, but the meaning of this subdivision was previously unclear. From the analysis of drill9 holes, seismic lines, dated sections, field outcrops and balanced cross-sections, we find that the 10 southward migration rate of the deposition pinch-out of the younger group is 19 ± 5 mm/yr and 11 equals the H...

[1] Large topographic belts along convergent margins have been recognized with the ability to slowdown the kinematics of subduction over geologically short time periods (i.e., few Myr), because their associated gravitational spreading provides significant resistive force within the framework of plate tectonics. The record of past and present-day plate kinematics provides important constraints o...

A composite life cycle of the Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO) is constructed using an index based on the first two EOFs of the bandpass-filtered (20–80 days) 850-mb zonal wind averaged from 58N to 58S every 2.58 around the equator. Precipitation, 1000-mb convergence, 850-mb wind, and 200-mb wind are composited for the period 1979–95. Water vapor integrated from the surface to 300 mb is composit...

During vertebrate limb development, growth plate chondrocytes undergo temporally and spatially coordinated differentiation that is necessary for proper morphogenesis. Parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP), its receptor, the PTH/PTHrP receptor, and Indian hedgehog are implicated in the regulation of chondrocyte differentiation, but the specific cellular targets of these molecules and speci...

Indian states are immensely heterogeneous in terms of their socioeconomic activities. The economic structure India is consequently bifurcated too. This study examines, under given heterogeneities, whether credit accessibility among converges over time, particularly industrial and agricultural lending. We employ the concept club convergence find that substantial heterogeneities multiple transiti...

In the current paper, the effect of length and angle of a splitter plate on hydro-thermal field in a range of Reynolds number from 40 to 1000 are numerically studied by solving the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. For discretization of governing equations, PISO algorithm was imposed to segregate the pressure-velocity coupled equations, and second-order upwind discretization scheme was a...
